3 Setting Up a Wireless Connection
If a wireless network adapter is installed on your computer, you can connect
your computer to the HG658d over a wireless connection.
The method for installing the wireless adapter and its driver varies
by vendor. For details, see the installation guide provided by the
vendor of your wireless adapter.
There are two methods for setting up a wireless connection between the
HG658d and your computer.
3.1 Setting up a Wireless Connection Using the
WPS Button
The HG658d 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
HG658d over a wireless connection:
1. Press and hold the WPS button (on the HG658d side panel) more than 1
second.
2. The WLAN indicator light on the HG658d starts blinking, indicating that the
HG658d is in the WPS negotiation state.
3. Enable the WPS negotiation function on the computer within 2 minutes of
the previous step.
4. Wait until the HG658d WLAN indicator light stops blinking and remains
steady on. This indicates that a wireless connection is set up between the
HG658d and the computer.
The WPS function can be used only when the security mode of the
WLAN is set to WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.

3.2 Setting up a Wireless Connection Manually
Besides using the WPS button, 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:
1. Find the wireless network name (SSID) and its password (WLAN Key)
printed on the label of the HG658d's rear panel.
2. 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 then choose
Manage.
2) In the Computer Management window, choose Computer
Management (Local) > Services and Applications > Services.

You need to set up a wireless connection only once. You can
access the wireless network anytime you want as long as
the wireless network name and password are not changed. When
the HG658d is working properly, your computer connects to the
HG658d automatically after its wireless function is enabled.
4 Voice Services
The HG656c supports voice over IP (VoIP) services based on Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP).SIP is an application layer protocol used to create, modify, and
end multimedia sessions.
The HG658d's Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) parameters are set before
delivery. Generally, these parameters do not need to be modified. You can use
the VoIP services directly.

6 FAQs
How can I quickly enable or disable the wireless network function?
Press and hold the WLAN button more than 1 second, and then release. The
WLAN indicator light indicates the status of the wireless network function.
How can I quickly restore the HG658d to its default settings?
To restore the HG658d to default settings, press and hold the Reset button
for over 6 or more seconds when the HG658d is powered on, and then
release.
What can I do if I cannot access the Internet?
1. Check that the Power indicator on the HG658d is steady on.
If the Power indicator is off, perform further checks as follows:
1) Check that the HG658d is turned on.
2) Check that electricity comes from the socket and that the power input
from the socket meets the requirements described on the label of the
HG658d's power adapter. If the voltage is unstable, for example, if the
voltage is too high or too low, do not use the HG658d. Wait until the
voltage recovers, and then use the HG658d.
3) Check that the HG658d is securely connected to the socket using its
power adapter.
If the Power indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance
center.
2. After powering on the HG658d, wait for about 3 minutes. Then
check whether the WAN indicator turns steady on.
If the WAN indicator is off, perform further checks as follows:
1) Check that the telephone line is correctly and securely connected,
especially the connection between the telephone line and the splitter.
2) Check that the HG658d and telephone line are located far from any
electric appliances that generate strong magnetic or electric fields.
Replace the telephone line when necessary.
