This topic describes how to configure the IPTV service on the HGW that uses LAN or xDSL for upstream transmission. This configuration enables home subscribers to watch IPTV programs using STBs and TVs.
Context
HGWs have different models and appearances but their configuration procedures are similar. This topic uses the HG239 that uses LAN for upstream transmission and the HG527 that uses ADSL2+ for upstream transmission as examples.
Procedure
Configure the IPTV service on the HG239.
1. Log in to the Web configuration window.
a. Enter http://192.168.1.1/cu.html (default IP address) to the address bar of the Internet Explorer (IE) and press Enter.
b. In the login dialog box, enter the user name and password of the administrator (the Internet service provider (ISP) provides the default user name and default password). Then, click OK.
2. Configure multicast parameters.
This example assumes LAN 4 as an IPTV port.
a. Choose Network > Bandwidth Configuration from the navigation tree.
b. In the right pane, create LAN connection 2 for the IPTV service. Set the parameters as follows:
Parameter
Value
Bearing service
OTHER: The connection is used for the IPTV service.
VLAN enabling
Enable VLAN tags are added to upstream packets.
NOTE:
When multicast service flows are created on the ONU, the value is Disable if uservlan is untagged and the value is Enable if uservlan is tagged.
VLANID[1-4094]
Multicast VLAN ID corresponding to the user VLAN value for multicast service flows created on the ONU. In this example, set this parameter to 43.

Enable
c. Click OK to save the settings.
3. Restart the HGW.
Choose Management > Device Management and click Restarting the Device.
Configure the IPTV service on the HG527.
1. Log in to the Web configuration window.
a. Enter http://192.168.1.1/cnc.html (default IP address) to the address bar of the IE and press Enter.
b. In the login dialog box, enter the user name (default: admin) and password (default: admin) of the administrator. Then, click OK.
2. Configure multicast parameters.
This example assumes LAN 4 as an IPTV port.
a. Choose Network > Bandwidth Configuration from the navigation tree.
b. In the right pane, create LAN connection 1 for dialup Internet access services. Set the parameters as follows:
Parameter
Value
Bearing service
OTHER: The connection is used for the IPTV service.
Enabling
The LAN connection is enabled when this check box is selected.
VLAN enabling
Enable: VLAN tags are added to upstream packets.
NOTE:
When multicast service flows are created on the ONU, the value is Disable if uservlan is untagged and the value is Enable if uservlan is tagged
Multicast VLAN ID on the HGW when multicast service flows are created on the ONU. In this example, set this parameter to 43.
VPI/VCI
Set the VPI/VCI to the same as that configured on the devices at the central office. In this example, set this parameter to 0/35.
