This method uses sed (stream editor) commands directly in the Telnet shell to change the PON mode parameter. This is generally considered faster and safer for experienced users.
Connect your PC to a LAN port of the HG8245H5. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address (usually 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.1.1 ).

Set your computer’s network adapter to a static IP address (e.g., 192.168.100.100 , subnet mask 255.255.255.0 ). The default ONT IP is typically 192.168.100.1 . firmware huawei hg8245h5 gpon to epon 2021 exclusive

You might find standard firmware updates on Huawei's consumer portal, but those are for bug fixes or Wi-Fi improvements. They do change the PON mode.

These are fundamentally different protocols. They speak different languages. A stock GPON ONT cannot "hear" an EPON OLT (Optical Line Terminal) because the handshake and encryption (AES vs. Triple-Churning) are incompatible.
Why is the "2021" tag relevant?
Modifying terminal firmware may violate your service provider's terms of service or prevent the ONT from authenticating automatically on their network. Required Equipment Open a web browser and enter the default

After the file transfer completes successfully, execute the explicit mode adjustment commands if supported by your firmware version, or force a structural reset to initialize the new partition data: WAP> set optic mode EPON WAP> board reset Use code with caution.
