  HiCoins as reward: 0 (problem unresolved)

Hey all, 


I've read and tried all the solutions here but not a single one works for my HG8245H .

The Dns server selection at the DHCP server settings is greyed out and cant be written in. 

The DNS settings in Network settings only allows to set local dns resolvers, not a server

The Firmware is setting is not there!


I attached screenshots to all of these issues. 


How can it be that I cant tell my router which dns server I want to use?! Srsly, I have a private AD and DNS server which I need to use otherwise half my network will not work correctly. 


Please help

Dear Merguin! 

1. Check whether your product is a customized product provided by the carrier. If so, then your DNS function may not be disabled. Contact the carrier and apply for replacing the firmware or device to enable this function. 

2. If no, configure the device as a user with higher permissions. 

3. If the fault persists, you can change the node in the VSA profile of the U2000 to configure the DNS service for the ONT.

</LANEthernetInterfaceConfig>

<LANHostConfigManagement X_HW_DHCPOption82Enable="0" X_HW_PPPoEPITPEnable="0" X_HW_DNSList="8.8.8.8">

<IPInterface MaxNumber="2" NumberOfInstances="0"/>


</LANEthernetInterfaceConfig>

<LANHostConfigManagement X_HW_DHCPOption82Enable="0" X_HW_PPPoEPITPEnable="0" X_HW_DNSList="8.8.8.8","9.9.9.9">

<IPInterface MaxNumber="2" NumberOfInstances="0"/>


Find the node and manually add X_HW_DNSList="8.8.8.8".

If the product is customized by a carrier, the node is changed and cannot be found.


Thanks!

Hello,

Answer:


1. In most cases, the default user name for logging in to the web page is root, the password is admin and the IP address is 192.168.100.1. However, for security reasons, the default password or IP address may have been changed before delivery. The nameplate prevails. Enter the IP address in the address bar of your browser.


2. Enter the default login account and password on the nameplate on the rear of the ONT and click Login.


3. Click the Network Application tab and then choose DNS Configuration from the navigation tree. In the right pane, configure DNS template, DNS parameters and you can also configure static DNS domain name resolution.




4. Click Apply.


ParameterDescription
Dns templateIndicates a DNS template. It can be set to DEFAULTPRIORITY, or INTERNET.
Domain NameIndicates the DNS domain name.
WAN NameIndicates the WAN port of the static DNS configuration.
DNS ServerIndicates the DNS server address.
IP AddressIndicates the IP address resolved by using the static domain name.


Glad to help you!

Thanks

Dear Liqiang185,
that are 3 helpful answers/suggestions there.
But i am sadly lacking knowledge on how to do any of these. How do I check, if the product is customized by the carrier? It was send to me by thome with my internet, so I guess its a customized version.
How do I configure the device as a higher user??

How can I reach the VSA profile of the U2000? Which application/path do I need to use to access this?

Dear friend!
1. You can contact your device provider to check whether the product is customized by the carrier.
2. You can also obtain the password of an advanced user from the device provider.
3. The U2000 manages the HG8245 central station devices. The central station device is the OLT, which is usually located in the central equipment room of a local carrier or an enterprise. If you are not the one who manages and maintains the OLT, you need to contact them.

Thank you!
