Going Online Using a USB Modem

By default, the HSPA uplink service is enabled. When the HG532s is working in

USB modem mode, connect the USB modem to the HG532s so that your

device can access the Internet through the HSPA uplink service.

If your USB modem does not need to verify the PIN for Internet access, you

do not need to configure the HG532s through the web-based configuration

utility or perform any dial-up operations on your computer. The HG532s sets

up a dial-up connection after the startup automatically.

create an HSPA uplink connection. To create such a connection:

Step 1

Insert a SIM card into the USB modem.

Wait about 20 seconds. The HG532s needs time to obtain the SIM

card information.

Log in to the HG532s's web-based configuration utility.
