Installing the GPON&XG-PON Terminal
1. Do not install PON terminals outdoors or on the outdoor cabinets.
2. PON terminals can be mounted onto a wall or be placed on a workbench.
Do not install PON terminals in other modes, such as the ceiling.
3.The terminal cannot be connected to other devices such as GPON
terminals, switch and router.
4. After the PON terminal is installed with a foot-stand, do not remove the
foot-stand unless it is necessary. When you remove the foot-stand, apply
force evenly on the two sides of the foot-stand to avoid damages to the
PON terminal.

Mounting a GPON terminal on the desk
At present, only HG8247H ONTs are equipped with external
antennas. The figure below shows an HG8247H that is horizontally placed
on a desk.
The figure blow uses an HG8247H ONT as an example to show the ONT
that is horizontally placed on a desk.
Mounting terminal vertically on the desk
(Only supported by some product models)
The following figure uses an HG8247H ONT as an example to show the
ONT that is vertically placed on a desk.

Mounting a GPON Terminal Onto The Wall
(Only supported by some product models)
Step 1 Mark the positions of two holes used for mounting a GPON terminal, ensure that
the two holes have the same spacing as the two mounting holes.
Step 2 Select a proper drill according to the outer diameter of the screws. Use a
hammer drill to drill the marked positions on the wall. Then clean the wall and
install two expansion bolts.
Step 3 Use a screwdriver to fasten the screws into the expansion bolts, leaving the heads
of the screws 3 mm over the wall. Then install the GPON terminal to the screws.

NOTE
This terminal is mainly placed horizontally on a desk. When it is mounted
onto a wall, the silkscreen of its indicator is reversed. If you have a special
requirement on the silkscreen, purchase another terminal.

Connecting Cables
This document uses the HG8247H as an example to describe the
connections. Ports on GPON terminals of other types may be different.
Therefore, connect cables based on the ports that are actually supported
by the device. If the external device is different from the device in the figure,
refer to the description for connections of the external device.

Step 1 Use an optical ber to connect the optical port to the ONT and the optical port on
the wall.
• The optical ports of the XG-PON terminals are at the back of the device. For how
to connect the optical ports, see the following gure (The HN8247H is used as an
example here.):
NOTE
1.The optical ber connectors of the HN8xxx series are SC/UPC .
2.To ensure normal use of bers, make sure that the ber bend radius is larger than 30 mm.

11
Before enabling the WPS encryption function of a PON terminal, ensure that the function is
set in the system software in advance. After successful setting, press the WPS switch for the
settings to take effect.
NOTE
Step 6 Use a USB data cable to connect the USB port to the USB storage device.
Step 7 Press the WLAN switch to enable the Wi-Fi access function. By default, this
function is enabled.
Step 8 Press the WPS switch to enable the WPS encryption function.
NOTE
1.The optical ber connector connected to the optical port on the wall varies depending on
actual conditions.
2.To ensure normal use of bers, make sure that the ber bend radius is larger than 30 mm.
Step 2 Use a coaxial cable to connect the CATV port to a TV set or set top box (STB).
Step 3 Use a network cable to connect the LAN/10G LAN port to a PC or the
Ethernet port on the IP STB.
Step 4 Use a phone line to connect the TEL port to a phone or fax machine.
Step 5 Use a power adapter to connect the POWER port to the power socket.
The preceding gure connects the power adapter as an example. When connecting the
backup battery unit , please see the usage guide to the backup battery for details .
NOTE
• The optical ports of the HG8047 series,
. For how to connect the optical ports, see the following gure
are at the back of the device

Configuring Wi-Fi Parameters
Step 1 Choose the WLAN tab and choose WLAN Basic Configuration.
NOTE
HN8247H is different from GPON terminal, Choose the Advanced Confi
guration>WLAN tab and choose 2.4G Basic Network Settings. (If
you want to configure 5G Wi-Fi, choose 5G Basic Network Settings.)
Step 2 In the pane, select the Enable WLAN option box. In the dialog box that is
displayed, set the basic Wi-Fi parameters, including the SSID, authentication
mode, and encryption mode. For example,
-SSID Name: WirelessNet (the name of a wireless network searched by the
Wi-Fi terminal)
-Authentication Mode: WPA Pre-Shared Key
-Encryption Mode: TKIP
-WPA PreSharedKey: Password (the authentication password for the Wi-Fi
terminal to access a wireless network)
Step 3 Click Apply.
12
Logging in to the Web Configuration Window
Step 1 Set the IP address of the PC in the same subnet as the management IP address
of the GPON terminal.
Step 2 Enter the management IP address of the PON terminal in the address bar of
Internet Explorer and press Enter.
The login window is displayed.
Step 3 In the login window, select your preferred language, enter the user name and
password ( printed on the nameplate of the device.), and click Login. After the
password is authenticated, the Web configuration window is displayed.
NOTE
-Shipped from different manufacture batches, the nameplates of some devices do not have
the IP address, user name, and password printed. In such a case, log in to the device using
192.168.100.1 (or 192.168.1.1), root (user name), and admin (password).
-If you do not perform any operations after logging in to the system for ve minutes, you will
exit the system and the system automatically returns to the login interface.
-The system will be locked if you input incorrect user name and password three consecutive
times. One minute later, it will be unlocked.
-Change the initial password after logging in to the web page.
NOTE
You can nd the default management IP address on the nameplate of the
device.

ONT supporting Wi-Fi (such as HG8247H), a wireless network coverage is subject to
the number, thickness, and positions of walls, materials, ceilings, or other objects that
radio signals traverse. Besides, metarial type and background radio frenquency (RF)
noise also affect the coverage of a wireless network. You can maximize the coverage
of a wireless network using the following methods:
1. Decrease the number of walls and ceilings between HG8247H and other
network devices.
Each wall or ceiling reduces the coverage of a wireless network by one to 30
meters. Install HG8247H at a proper place to avoid walls or ceilings whenever
possible.
2. Observe the straight line rule when installing network devices.
The distance for which signals have to traverse at a 45° corner of two 0.5 meter-
thick walls reaches approximately one meter. To better receive signals, devices
should be installed at places where signals can directly traverse walls or ceilings.
3. Note the impact of building materials on the wireless network coverage.
A metal door or aluminum wall may limit the coverage of a wireless network.
Install access points, wireless routers, and computers, so signals can traverse
walls or open passageways. Materials and objects such as FRP products, metal
products, insulative walls, filing cabinets, bricks, and concrete weaken radio
signals.
4. When connecting ONT (such as HG8247H) to a wireless network, keep it far
from the following devices:
- Electronic devices or components that produce RF noises (keep a distance of
more than 2 meters between such a device and HG8247H.)
- 2.4 GHz wireless mobile phones or X-10 devices (such as microwave ovens,
home security systems, blue-tooth devices, and refrigerators) that greatly weaken
or even eliminate radio signals. Even if a 2.4 GHz wireless mobile phone is not
connected to a wireless network, the phone base still sends signals that interfere
the wireless network.
