Huawei Comprehensive Guide to Home Gateway USB Port Usage for HUAWEI Routers

5 Using the USB Port

5.1Going 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.

−If your USB modem needs to verify the PIN for Internet access, you need to 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.

Step 2 Log in to the HG532s's web-based configuration utility. Step 3 Choose Advanced > PIN.

Step 4 Verify the PIN of your SIM card.

1.Click the PIN tab.

2.Select Verify from the PIN operation drop-down combo box.

3.Enter the PIN that was provided by your SIM card operator in the PIN text box.

4.Click Submit.

When you do not need to go online, remove the USB modem. Otherwise, your operator may continue to charge you for data services.
