Installing the GPON Terminal
1. Do not install GPON terminals outdoors or on the outdoor cabinets.
2. GPON terminals can be mounted onto a wall or be placed on a workbench. Do not install GPON
terminals in other modes, such as the ceiling.
3.The terminal cannot be connected to other devices such as GPON terminals, switch and router.
The schematic diagram for placing the device on a desk horizontally are as
follows:
Mounting a GPON terminal onto the wall
Step 1 Mark the positions of two holes (with a spacing listed in the following table) used
for mounting a GPON terminal.
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.

Connecting Cables
This document uses the HG8247 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 fiber to connect the OPTICAL port on the GPON terminal to the
optical port in the wall.
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 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.
Step 6 Use a USB data cable to connect the USB port to the USB storage device.
Step 7 Press the ON/OFF power switch.
Step 8 Press the WLAN switch to enable the Wi-Fi access function. By default, this
function is enabled.
Step 9 Press the WPS switch to enable the WPS encryption function.
NOTE
1.The optical connector connected to the OPTICAL port is an SC/APC connector, and the
type of the optical connector connected to the optical port in the wall is determined by practical
conditions.
2.To ensure normal use of fibers, make sure that the fiber bend radius is larger than 30 mm.
The preceding figure connects the power adapter as an example. When connecting the
backup battery unit , please see the usage guide to the backup battery for details .
Before enabling the WPS encryption function of a GPON 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.

of the GPON terminal. For example,
-IP address: 192.168.100.100
-Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Step 2 Enter the management IP address of the GPON 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 (default user name is root and default password is admin), and
