Connecting Cables
Refer to the preceding cable connections of each product and select the following
corresponding steps to connect the GPON terminal.
Step 1 Use an optical fiber to connect the OPTICAL port on the GPON Terminal
to the optical port in the wall.

127(
The optical connector connected to the optical port is SC/APC, and the type of the
optical connector connected to the optical port in the wall is determined according to
actual conditions.

Step 2 Use a coaxial cable to connect the CATV port to the TV set or STB.
Step 3 Use a network cable to connect the LAN port to the Ethernet port of the
PC or IP STB.
Step 4 Use a telephone cable to connect the TEL port to the telephone set or fax
machine.
Step 5 Use a power cable to connect the POWER port to the power adapter or
backup battery unit.

127(
The preceding figure considers connecting of the power adapter as an example. When
the backup battery is used, it is recommended that you use a power monitoring cable
to connect the BBU port to the monitoring port of the backup battery. In this way,
the function of monitoring the backup battery on the GPON terminal is available. For
details on how to use the backup battery, see the backup battery usage guide.

Step 6 Use a USB data cable to connect the USB port to the USB storage device.
Step 7 Press the ON/OFF power button.
Step 8 Press the WLAN switch to enable the Wi-Fi access function. By default, this
function is enabled.
Step 9 Press the WPS switch to enable the WPS encryption function.

127(
Before enabling the WPS encryption function of the GPON Terminal by pressing the
WPS switch, make sure that the function is configured on the system software
beforehand.

Logging In to the Web Page

Please log in to the Web page of the GPON terminal as follows:
Step 1 Configure the IP address of the PC to be in the same subnet as the LAN IP
address of the GPON Terminal. For example:
- IP address: 192.168.100.100
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

127(
Default settings of the LAN IP address and subnet mask of the GPON Terminal:
- IP address: 192.168.100.1
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Step 2 Enter the LAN IP address of the GPON Terminal in the address bar of the
Internet Explorer (IE), and then press Enter to display the login dialog box.
Step 3 On the login window diglog box, enter the user name root and default
password admin, select Web page language, and then click Login and wait.
After the password passes the authentication, the Web page of the GPON
Terminal is displayed.
