2.1 Product Positioning
2.2 Network Applications
2.3 Product Overview
2.1 Product Positioning
EchoLife GPON terminal HG8245H is an indoor optical network terminal (ONT) designed
for home users. Its upper shell adopts the natural heat dissipation material, and its optical port
adopts the dust-proof design with a rubber plug. The ONT is eye-pleasing and
energy-efficient. It can be deployed on a workbench or mounted on a wall, meeting users'
deployment requirements in different scenarios.
The ONT provides the more convenient and efficient remote management function. It
supports the TR-069 and ONT Management and Control Interface (OMCI) protocols and
manages all home terminals in a unified manner, implementing remote fault diagnosis, service
provisioning, and performance statistics.
By using the Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology, the ONT
provides a high-speed data channel through a single optical fiber with an upstream rate of
1.244 Gbit/s and a downstream rate of 2.488 Gbit/s. In this way, you can enjoy the high-speed
data service, quality voice service, and superior video service.Apart from that, you can also
enjoy the secure and reliable wireless access service and the convenient home network
attached storage and file sharing services.
2.2 Network Applications
As a network terminal, the ONT is deployed at the GPON access layer and connects the home
users users to the Internet through the optical upstream port.
Figure 2-1 shows the position of the ONT on a network.

Figure 2-1 Network topology of the ONT
In the upstream direction, the ONT is connected to the optical splitter and the
networkside OLT through the passive optical network (PON) port, namely the OPTICAL
port, to provide the integrated access service.
In the downstream direction, the ONT is connected to various terminals through the
abundant LAN-side ports, implementing the triple play service.
−Ethernet ports, which can be connected to terminals such as the PC, STB, and video
phone to provide the high-speed data and video services.
Each Ethernet port allows only 1 user access.
−TEL ports, which can be connected to the telephone set or fax machine to provide the
superior and cost-effective voice over IP (VoIP), fax over IP (FoIP), and modem over
IP (MoIP) services.
Each TEL port allows only 1 user access.
−Wi-Fi, which can be connected to a Wi-Fi terminal through wireless connection to
provide a secure and reliable high-speed wireless network.
Each ONT allows up 6 wireless connections.
−USB port, which can be connected to a USB storage device to provide convenient
