Due to many ppl pm me to ask for the access into HG850a, here is it..
If you're using Maxis FTTH, this setup will enable you to plug the telephone into the HG850a, use custom router and you can put your Thompson router into store room or maybe rubbish bin.
You can go straight to the end of this post to see the final outcome.

Do it at your own risk.

Preparation

1. Download & install autohotkey http://l.autohotkey.net/AutoHotkey_L_Install.exe
2. After finish install autohotkey, launch it and right click on the AutoHotkey icon at the right corner taskbar, click on "edit this script", a notepad will open. Change the content to following:

3. save it and close the notepad, right click the AutoHotkey icon again and click "reload this script"
4. download putty http://tartarus.org/~simon/putty-snapshots/x86/putty.exe
5. configure your pc ip to 192.168.100.123 subnet 255.255.255.0
6. Switch off the HG850a and plug LAN cable connect ur pc to the HG850a LAN 2

Action
1. open a command prompt [windows key + R, type ' cmd ', enter]
2. type to perform continuous ping to 192.168.100.1
3. open putty client and ready for telnet: input 192.168.100.1 and choose telnet. Dont click 'Open' Yet.


4. Switch on ur HG850a and check the continuous ping
5. Once you saw you're getting Reply from 192.168.100.1.. IMMEDIATELY click "Open" in the putty client.
6. You're now successfully telnet into the HG850a but dont be happy, your access will soon be block once the HG850a finish loading the iptables, so you need to perform the following steps quick and accurate.
7. login by
username: root
password: admin

8. press the hotkey [ ctrl + alt + z ] , wait for the command to finish typing,
then immediately repeat pressing [ctrl + alt + x], let the command finish typing between the interval.This is the Hotkey that we configure into the AutoHotkey previously. This is to let the AutoHotkey help us to type the command in a very short time, before the iptables kicks in and repeatedly wipe the iptables.

9. After around 10 seconds, if you still get response from the telnet (respond to your "enter"; press enter can go next line), then you're safe for now.. but not permanent, if u power off and power on your HG850a, you will need to do from step 1 again.

Configure to have permanent access and no need to hassle so much, perform the following:

Web Interface
1. Open your browser, go into http://192.168.100.1
2. Login with admin account:
Username: telecomadmin
Password: hs5711Bbfh
3. go to 'maintain' > 'device' > 'configure file' > 'Download Configuration File' to backup the config.


4. after download, make a duplicate copy of your config so that if anything goes wrong you still have the original config.
5. open the 'downloadconfigfile.conf' using notepad
6. ctrl+f to find

7. change that line to

8. save it and go to the HG850a web interface, go to 'maintain' > 'device' > 'configure file' > 'choose file' > select this modified config > 'Upload Configuration File'
9. After finish restore, power off and on the HG850a, you should now able to access the web interface and telnet even after power cycle.

Setup VoIP into HG850a [Maxis]
1. Go to 'Basic' > 'WAN' and you should now see by default '1_VOIP_R_VID_400' {not too sure about the name but I know there is a default there}
2. click on it to select, change the VLAN ID to 822. Change and save it as below


3. Go to Status > 'Device' > 'WAN' you should see it connected with an ip address


4. Go to 'Basic' > 'VoIP' and setup the SIP as follow


5. Go to 'Status' > 'VoIP' , you should see the status 'Registered' and the 'voip' led on the HG850a should lid up.


6. Plug your telephone into 'Tel 1' Port and try to make a call to your mobile phone.

As for setup for custom router, I think it's possible for any router (non-VLAN router and ADSL router with WAN port internet capability) can use by removing VLAN tagging from HG850a.

It is definitely possible but from my understanding, it can't done by web interface. (Maybe it can but I got no time to dig on that)
I tried to go into the HG850a by telnet and I do see some vlan tagging thingy which are not found in the web interface but I didn't go in deep because I've no time on it. Now the devices is not with me anymore. I strongly believe it can be done by telnet. If someone have time on it, please share with us your result

any guide for Alcatel Lucent I-240G-P BTU?

Very informative guide.
I will try it out this weekend!

looking fwd to ur result

Unfortunately I don't have the device, so I'm not sure about it.

i hit an issue, it stops at "# iptables --flush", i am pretty sure the iptables hasn't kick in, but the modem is not responding to this command. Any clue on this?

HG850a>enable

HG850a#configure terminal

HG850a(config)#shell
# iptables --flush

Ctrl + alt + z command is until that only. After it stop at "# iptables --flush" need to press ctrl+alt+x already.. repeat few times for ctrl+alt+x..

After few times of ctrl+alt+x if you can access the web interface then you can proceed to next steps already..

the problem is after keyin "iptables --flush", the modem stop responding, but i am pretty sure the iptable hasn't block yet, just the command not responding.

How about you change your auto hotkey script to the following


How many iptables --flush it can run?

Does This work with Unifi TM Huawei hg850a ONU ?

i further diagnosed line by line, any command that i put after "shell" will not be responding, telnet session will hang.
can you verify if this is correct command?

Probably, coz Maxis FTTH is using TM's HG850a too.. You can try, share result

Yes, it is correct. I'm not sure ur case, but when I first trying the access, iptables kicks in is the only thing that make the telnet session hang. R u sure u r fast enough to respond before iptables kicks in? U've about 5-8 seconds only to enter the command until iptables --flush start from getting the first ping reply. Once you reach iptables --flush, don't stop at there, keep on ctrl+alt+x to keep sending iptables --flush

omg i was trying to access HG850A for hours and i ended up here. freaking maxis.

is this method still relavant ? tired already

HuraY!
The step is working!!
I managed to access to HG850A and configure VOIP.
Next step is to buy a TPLink TL-WR1043ND to retire the stupid Thomson Gataway!

All I can say is great work Bro!!

Got everything working

If someone could help getting a non vlan tagging router on this, it would be awesome.

By the way I can't see any bridging mode on the hg850a web admin page and the port binding feature on all ports are greyed out.

Untag on HG850a is possible but the IPTV wouldn't work by connecting directly through HG850a.

If IPTV not required then you can do that by accessing through telecomadmin superuser.

root user is not superuser by default
