2.1 Product Introduction
This topic provides the appearance and describes the ports and LEDs of the HG8240/HG8245/
HG8247.
The HG8240/HG8245/HG8247 is an indoor optical network terminal (ONT) designed for home
users and small office and home office (SOHO) users. Its upper shell adopts the natural heat
dissipation material, and its optical port adopts the dust-proof design with a rubber plug. The
HG8240/HG8245/HG8247 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.
By using the gigabit-capable passive optical network (GPON) technology, the HG8240/
HG8245/HG8247 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
quality high-speed data service, voice service, and video service. In addition, the HG8245 and
HG8247 provide reliable wireless access service, and convenient storage and file sharing
services within a home network.
As an ONT, the HG8240/HG8245/HG8247 provides convenient and efficient remote
management functions. The HG8240/HG8245/HG8247 supports ONT Management and
Control Interface (OMCI) protocol and the U2560 (Huawei TR-069 server) and manages all
home terminals in a unified manner, thus implementing remote fault diagnosis, service
provisioning, and performance statistics measurement.

details about how to log in to the Web page, see Locally Logging in to the Web Interface.
The Web page configurations of the HG8240/HG8245/HG8247 and the HG8240 are similar but
the HG8240's Web page does not contain the Wi-Fi node.
Because different software versions support different voice protocols, the Voice node contains
different parameters. The V100R002C00 supports the SIP protocol and the V100R002C01
supports the H.248 protocol.
The configuration window for an administrator is different from that for a common user.
lCompared with a common user, an administrator has permissions to view and configure
all parameters on the Web page except the Modify Login Password under the System
Tools.
lA common user does not have permissions to view the following parameters:
–LAN Port Work Mode under the LAN node
–ONT Access Control Configuration under the Security node
–The Voice node
–Time Setting and TR-069 under the System Tools node
–Download Configuration File and Upload Configuration File on the Configuration
File window under the System Tools node
lA common user does not have permissions to configure the WAN Configuration
parameter under the WAN node.
