troduction
The HG556 supports voice services based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
The SIP is an application layer protocol used to create, modify, or end multimedia
sessions. Based on text coding, the SIP references the Hyper Text Transport Protocol
(HTTP) and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and can cooperate with othe
protocols, such as the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), the Real-time Transport
Control Protocol (RTCP), the Session Description Protocol (SDP), and the Domain

the Proxy server address and the Proxy server port text box.
2. Choose the primary server or secondary server from the Server drop-down list box.
3. Enter the address and the port of the registration server provided by the service
provider in the Registration server address and the Registration server port text
box.
4. Enter the home domain name of the SIP user in the SIP Server domain name box.
Enter the home domain name of the SIP user according to the actual conditions:
z If the service provider does not provide the home domain name of the SIP user, you
can enter the same name as in the Registration Server Address text box or leave
the SIP Server domain name text box blank.
z If the service provider has provided the home domain name of the SIP user, you
must enter it in the relevant text box.
Step 4 Click Submit to save the settings.
If you want to call out by the VoIP service, you should bind the call out line and the call out

7.3 Configuring the MSSID Service
7.3.1 Function
The HG556 supports the multi-service set identifier (MSSID) function. You can
configure encryption parameters separately for each service set identifier (SSID).
With the MSSID function, you can virtualize multiple independent access points (APs)
used in wireless networks. In terms of the wireless network, client each virtualized
wireless AP is equivalent to a physical wireless AP. Each wireless AP has its own SSID.
The HG556 supports four SSIDs, which can be configured through the Web
configuration page of the HG556 or configured remotely through the management
system of the HG556.
7.3.2 Configuration Steps
To configure the SSIDs of the HG556, do as follows:
Step 1 Choose Basic > LAN > WLAN on the Web configuration page to show the wireless
settings page.
Step 2 Select Enable WLAN to enable the WLAN function.
Step 3 Select an appropriate channel in the Channel text box based on the settings of the
WLAN.
To avoid signal interference, channels allocated to each AP should be different. You are
recommended to select Auto in the Channel text box.
Step 4 Select SSID1 in the SSID index drop-down list box. Specify the name of the SSID you
want in the SSID text box.
Step 5 Select Enable to enable the selected SSID.
Step 6 Select the security mode in the Security drop-down list box.
When you specify the security mode, the gateway supports the corresponding WPA
pre-shared key and WPA encryption mode for the SSID. You can also specify the WPA
pre-shared key and must remember it.
Step 7 Click Submit to save the settings.
On the WLAN Filtering page, you can configure MAC address filtering for the WiFi.

8.8 What can I do if Web pages often cannot be
displayed during Web page browsing and can be
displayed after the terminal is restarted?
Step 1 Ensure that the terminal and other devices such as telephones or fax machines are
connected to the telephone line through a splitter.
For details about how to install a splitter, see the related description in the manual.
Step 2 Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected.
If the telephone lines are improperly connected, the stability of the network connection is
affected.
Step 3 Check the positions of your terminal and computer. Ensure that they are far from the
electric appliances such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones that
generate strong magnetic or electric fields.
If the problem persists, contact your service provider.
8.9 What can I do if noises exist during telephone calls?
Step 1 Ensure that a splitter is installed.
A splitter helps to protect the call quality of the asymmetric digital subscriber line
(ADSL) from being affected due to the interference of other type of signals.
Step 2 Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected.
Step 3 Replace telephone lines and ensure that the telephone lines are not faulty.
8.10 After a broadband terminal is installed, does
Internet access degrade call quality or do telephone
calls lower the Internet access rate?
No. The terminal uses the frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and splitter
technologies to separate voice signals from data signals. Although the two types of
signals are transmitted through one telephone line, they are carried by different
frequency bands. Therefore, they do not interfere with each other. In this case, you can
make a telephone call and access the Internet at the same time, without degrading call
quality or lowering the Internet access rate.
