Placement: Place the ONT/ONU on a stable, flat surface in a central location for optimal Wi-Fi coverage (if applicable). Ensure good ventilation and avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
-
Connect Fiber Optic Cable: Carefully connect the fiber optic cable from your service provider to the PON/Optical port on the device. Ensure the connector type (SC APC or SC UPC) matches your cable. Caution: Do not look directly into the optical port as it emits invisible laser radiation.
-
Connect Power: Connect the provided power adapter to the POWER port on the device and then plug it into a power outlet. Press the ON/OFF switch to power on the device.
-
Connect Ethernet Devices (Optional): For wired connections, connect your computer, smart TV, or other network devices to the LAN ports (LAN1-LAN4) using Ethernet cables.
-
Connect Telephone (Optional): If your model supports voice services, connect your telephone to the TEL port(s).
-
Connect CATV (Optional): If your model supports CATV (e.g., HG8247H5), connect your coaxial cable to the CATV port.
-
Verify Indicators: Once powered on, observe the LED indicators. The PON/LOS indicator should turn solid green (or similar, indicating a stable optical link). The LAN, WLAN, and TEL indicators should light up when active.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Connecting to Wi-Fi
For models with Wi-Fi functionality:
- Locate the Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) and Password (WLAN Key) on the label at the bottom of your device. For example, for HG8247H5, the SSID might be "HUAWEI-G3td" and WLAN Key "ly3d4u8w".
