2 Setting Network Access Parameters

2.1 Logging In to the Web-based Configuration

Utility

Most of the HG630a parameters are preset before delivery to meet common home application scenarios. To check the HG630a's working status or configure certain advanced network functions, use the web-based configuration utility.

To log in to the web-based configuration utility,

Step 1

Set up network access for your computer. Set the network connection of your computer to obtain an IP address automatically.

By default, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) function is enabled. The HG630a then assigns an IP address to your computer automatically. If you disable the DHCP function, please ensure that the IP address of the computer and that of the HG630a LAN port are in the same network segment to enable the computer to access the web-based configuration utility.

Step 2

Open a web browser on your computer and ensure that the browser does not use any proxy servers.

Using Internet Explorer 8.0 as an example to ensure no proxy servers are used:

1. Choose Tools > Internet Options.

2. On the Connections tab of the Internet Options dialog box, click

LAN Settings.

3. In the Proxy server area, ensure that Use a proxy server for your LAN is cleared. If Use a proxy server for your LAN is selected, clear Use a proxy server for your LAN, and then click OK.
