1.1FunctionsandFeatures
The HG520sisatypeofAsymmetricDigital SubscriberLine
(ADSL)terminal.Data,video and audioaretransmitted through the
commontelephone line at ahigherratebythe HG520s.
The featuresofthe HG520sare:
lHigh transmission rate:The maximumdownstreamrateis24
Mbit/s;the maximumupstreamrateis
1.2Mbit/s.
lStrong network adaptability:The HG520scan be
interconnectedwithmultipleDigitalSubscriberLine Access
Multiplexer(DSLAMs).
lStrong maintainability:TheHG520sprovidesmultiple
indicatorstatus, whichisconvenienttolocatefailures.
lEasyoperation: The HG520shasasimpleoperationforthe
