To connect to the Internet, double-click the dial-up connection icon, and click
Connect in the dialog box.
4 Setting Up a Wireless Connection
If a wireless network adapter is available on your computer, you can connect
your computer to the HG532s over a wireless connection.
The method for installing the wireless adapter and its driver varies
according to different vendors. For details, see the installation guide
provided by the vendor of your wireless adapter.
The HG532s’s wireless network function is enabled by default. To check the
function status, see section 6.2 "Enabling or Disabling the Wireless Network
Function".
There are two methods for setting up a wireless connection between the
HG532s and your computer.
4.1 Setting up a Wireless Connection Using the WPS
Button
The HG532s supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) function in Push Button
Configuration (PBC) mode. If your wireless network adapter also supports the
WPS function, do the following to connect your computer to the
HG532s wirelessly:

14
Step 1 Press and hold the WPS button for over 1 second on the side panel of
the HG532s.
The WPS indicator on the HG532s starts blinking, indicating that the
HG532s is in the WPS negotiation state.
Step 2 Within 2 minutes, enable the WPS negotiation function on the
computer.
Wait for a while, the WPS indicator of the HG532s stops blinking and
remains on, indicating that a wireless connection is set up between the
HG532s and the computer.
−You need to wait for 10 seconds to 120 seconds.
−The WPS indicator is on for about 300 seconds, and then turns off.
4.2 Setting up a Wireless Connection Manually
If your network adapter does not support the WPS function, you can also set up
a wireless connection manually.
The following example uses a computer running the Windows XP operating
system to describe how to set up a wireless connection using the
default wireless network name and password:
Step 1 Start the wireless configuration service of the Windows XP operating
system as follows:
1. Right-click My Computer to display a short-cut menu, and choose
Manage.
2. In the Computer Management window, choose Computer
Management (Local) > Services and Applications > Services.
3. Right-click Wireless Zero Configuration to display a shortcut
menu, and choose Properties.
4. Check that Service status is Started. If Service status is not
Started, click Start.
5. Click OK to close the dialog box, and the close the Computer
Management window.

15
Step 2 Find the wireless network name (SSID) and its password (WLAN Key)
printed on the label on the HG532s's rear panel.
Step 3 Configure the wireless network connection on the computer as
follows:
1. Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Communications > Network Connections.
2. In the Network Connections window, right-click Wireless Network
Connection to display a shortcut menu, and choose Properties.
3. In the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box, click
the Wireless Networks tab.
4. Select Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings.

access the wireless network anytime you want as long as that
the wireless network name and password are not changed. When
the HG532s is working properly, your computer connects to the
HG532s automatically after its wireless function is enabled.
