Mounting an ONT onto a Wall

1. Mark two positions with the same spacing as that between the two mounting holes of the ONT using a marker on a wall.
2. Select a proper drill bit according to the outer diameter of the screws. Use a hammer drill to drill the marked positions on the wall. Then clean the holes and install two expansion bolts.
3. Use a screwdriver to fasten the screws into the expansion bolts, reserving 5 mm ends out of the wall, and mount the ONT onto the screws.

2. Connecting Cables

Δ NOTE

The fiber connector connected to the optical port on the wall varies depending on
actual conditions.
To ensure normal use of fibers, make sure that the fiber bending radius is larger than 30
mm.

Network Settings.

What can I do if I cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network?

How to improve the Wi-Fi speed of a Huawei ONT?
1. Wi-Fi speed relies on the bandwidth provided by the ISP, so the simplest way is
to upgrade to faster broadband.
2. Wi-Fi speed is affected by the Wi-Fi signal strength and quality. Ensure that the
Huawei ONT is far away from interference sources such as TVs, microwave ovens,
refrigerators, cordless phones, and Bluetooth devices, and reduce the number of
obstacles between the Huawei ONT and Wi-Fi devices (such as pads, mobile
phones, and laptops). You are advised to use repeaters to enhance the Wi-Fi
coverage if the area is large.
3. Using the correct radio channel. Generally, the Huawei ONT automatically
selects the optimal channel. If the network is slow or the quality turns poor from
time to time, you can use a Wi-Fi scanner such as Wi-Fi Stumbler or Wi-Fi
Analyzer to search for the optimal channel.
4. To prevent unauthorized network access, log in to the web interface of the
router and select MAC address filtering based on your requirements.
What can I do if the network speed is slow?
1. Check whether network cables are properly connected. Remove and then
insert the network cables. Then, check whether the network speed is normal.
2. Check whether downloading, network video watching, or other operations
occupy a large amount of bandwidth. Due to bandwidth restrictions, if some
network applications occupy a large amount of network bandwidth, the
network speed is slow.
3. Use another PC, mobile phone, or pad to check whether the network speed is normal.
A phone does not ring upon an incoming call but communication is in normal state when the phone is in off-hook state.
The ONT supports a maximum of 60 V AC ringing current voltage. Check
whether the ringing current voltage of the phone is higher than 60 V AC. If it
is higher than 60 V AC, replace the phone.

How do I restore the Huawei ONT to factory setting?
Press Reset by using a needle-type object for longer than 10s to restore factory
defaults and reset the Huawei ONT. If the indicator is off and then is lit, the
system restarts successfully.

Δ NOTE

Exercise caution when restoring factory settings. This function may cause the loss of ONT configuration information and further cause an Internet access failure. If this problem occurs, contact your service provider for help.

How can I download Huawei ONT firmware or software?
Huawei ONT is used with an OLT and NMS of a required version. If the versions
are not the required ones, the ONT may not work.
If required, contact your internet service provider to obtain the correct ONT
firmware or software.
