device on the same network), you can change the HG532d IP address.

Log in to the web management page.

Use the new IP address to log in to the web management page.

for over 6 seconds. The user name and

password used for logging in to the web management page are then restored to their default

values. After the HG532d is restored to its default settings, all user customized data will be

lost. Perform this operation with caution.

Restoring Default Settings

Using the Configuration Tool

If the HG532d parameter settings were configured incorrectly, log in to the web management page to

reload the default configuration file and restore the HG532d to its default settings. Perform this

operation with caution. After the HG532d is restored to its default settings, all custom data and settings

will be lost, and the password will be restored to admin.

it is in the same network segment as the 192.168.1.1 default IP address.
