4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install and connect your Halny HL-4GMVR-US GPON ONU.

4.1 Physical Connections

1. Connect the Fiber Optic Cable: Carefully connect the fiber optic cable from your service provider to the GPON port (usually located on the rear panel, often protected by a cap). Ensure the connector is clean and properly seated. Warning: Do not look directly into the fiber optic port or cable, as it may contain invisible laser light that can damage your eyes.
2. Connect the Power Adapter: Plug the provided power adapter into the DC-IN 12V port on the rear of the device, then plug the other end into a power outlet. Press the ON/OFF power button. The Power LED should illuminate.
3. Connect Ethernet Devices: Use standard Ethernet cables to connect your computers, routers, or other network devices to the LAN (1-4) ports. The corresponding LAN LED will light up when a connection is established.
4. Connect Telephone (VoIP): If you have VoIP service, connect your analog telephone to the TEL (FXS) port using a standard RJ11 phone cable.
5. Connect CATV (Optional): If your service includes CATV/DVB overlay, connect your coaxial cable to the RF port. Ensure the RF ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.

4.2 Initial Configuration (Web Interface)

After physical connections are made and the device powers on, you can access the web-based management interface for further configuration.

1. Ensure your computer is connected to one of the LAN ports of the HL-4GMVR-US.
2. Open a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
3. In the address bar, type the default IP address of the device (commonly 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.100.1) and press Enter. Consult your service provider or the device label for the exact IP address.
4. You will be prompted for a username and password. The default credentials are often admin/admin or user/user. Refer to the label on the bottom of your device or your service provider's documentation for specific credentials.
5. Once logged in, you can configure Wi-Fi settings, VoIP parameters, and other network settings as required by your service provider. It is highly recommended to change the default administrator password for security.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Wi-Fi Configuration

The HL-4GMVR-US supports dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). You can configure your wireless network through the web interface.

• Navigate to the "Wireless" or "WLAN" section in the web interface.
• You can set the Network Name (SSID) for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
• Choose a strong Wi-Fi password (WPA2/WPA3 recommended) for network security.
• Adjust channel settings if you experience interference, though auto-selection is often sufficient.

5.2 VoIP Service

The integrated FXS port allows for Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone services. Configuration is typically handled by your service provider, but basic settings can be viewed or adjusted in the web interface.

• Ensure your analog phone is connected to the TEL port.
• Check the TEL LED status; a solid green light indicates successful registration with the VoIP server.
• If issues arise, verify the SIP account details in the VoIP section of the web interface, or contact your service provider.

5.3 CATV/DVB Overlay

The RF port supports CATV/DVB services. Ensure the RF ON/OFF switch on the rear panel is enabled.

• Connect the coaxial cable from your TV or set-top box to the RF port on the HL-4GMVR-US.
• Verify that the RF ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
• No further configuration is typically required on the ONU itself for basic CATV signal pass-through.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Firmware Updates

Firmware updates provide performance improvements, new features, and security patches. Your service provider typically manages firmware updates remotely. Do not attempt to update firmware manually unless instructed by your service provider, as incorrect updates can damage the device.

6.2 Resetting the Device

If the device is not functioning correctly, a factory reset may resolve the issue. This will revert all settings to their default values, including Wi-Fi names and passwords, and any custom configurations.

• Soft Reset: You can perform a soft reset through the web interface, usually found under "System Tools" or "Management."
• Hard Reset (Factory Reset Button): With the device powered on, locate the small reset button (often recessed) on the rear or bottom panel. Use a paperclip or a thin object to press and hold the button for approximately 10-15 seconds until all LEDs flash. Release the button, and the device will restart with factory default settings.

6.3 Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Halny HL-4GMVR-US.

7.1 No Internet Connection

• Check Power and Cables: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the device is powered on. Verify that the fiber optic cable is properly connected to the GPON port.
• Check LED Status:
  • If the LOS LED is Red, there is a loss of optical signal. Contact your service provider immediately.
  • If the PON LED is Off or Blinking, the device is not registered with the OLT. Contact your service provider.
  • If the LAN LED is Off for a connected device, check the Ethernet cable and the device's network settings.
• Restart Device: Power cycle the HL-4GMVR-US by unplugging the power adapter, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in.
• Verify Configuration: Log into the web interface to ensure network settings are correct (e.g., WAN configuration).

7.2 Wi-Fi Not Working or Slow

• Check WLAN LED: Ensure the WLAN LED is solid green (or blinking for activity). If off, Wi-Fi might be disabled.
• Verify Wi-Fi Settings: Log into the web interface and check your Wi-Fi SSID, password, and ensure the wireless function is enabled for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
• Signal Strength: Move closer to the device to check if signal strength improves. Obstacles and distance can affect Wi-Fi performance.
• Interference: Try changing the Wi-Fi channel in the web interface to avoid interference from neighboring networks.

7.3 No Dial Tone on Phone (VoIP)

• Check TEL LED: A solid green TEL LED indicates successful VoIP registration. If it's off or blinking rapidly, there might be an issue with the VoIP service.
• Phone Connection: Ensure the telephone is correctly plugged into the TEL (FXS) port.
• Service Provider: VoIP service requires specific configuration from your service provider. If the TEL LED is not solid green, contact your service provider for assistance.
