When you receive our products, please check carefully to make sure that all of the products arrived in a good condition without defects. If something went wrong during shipping, please contact the carrier; for other damage or missing parts, please contact the dealer. Contents Description 4 GE + 2 POTS + WiFi + CATV Home Gateway 1 pc Power Adapter 1 pc User Manual 1 pc 1. Connecting the optical fiber cable to the unit. a. Remove the protective cap of the optical fiber. b. Clean the end of the optical fiber with an optical fiber end cleaner. c. Remove the protective cap of the HGU optical interface (PON interface). Connect the fiber to the PON port on the unit. Note When measuring the optical power before connecting to the HGU, it is recommended to use a PON inline power meter. While connecting, please note:  Keep the optical connector and the optical fiber clean.  Make sure there are no tight bends in the fiber and that the bending diameter is greater than 6 cm. Otherwise, the optical signal loss may be increased, to the extent that signal may be unavailable.  Cover all optic ports and connectors with protective cap to guard against dust and moisture when the fiber is not used. 2. Apply power to the unit. Push the power button. 3. After the HGU is power ON, Indicators should light up as for normal operation. Check whether the PON interface status LED (PON) is on continuously. If it is, the connection is normal; otherwise there is either problem of the physical connection or the optical level at either end. This may be caused by either too much or too little attenuation over the optical fiber. Please refer to the Layout Description section of this installation manual for normal LED activity. 4. Check all signal levels and services on all the HGU communication ports. Solutions Provider for FTTx, RFoG and HFC www.ascentcomtec.com Page 8 of 79

Unit Installation Adjustment Installing the HGU on a horizontal surface (bench top): Put the HGU on a clean, flat, sturdy bench top. Keep a minimum 10 cm clearance on all sides of the unit for heat dissipation. Installing the HGU on a vertical surface (Hanging on a wall): You can install the HGU on a vertical surface by using the mounting holes on the bottom of the ONU chassis (refer to Figure 1-5) and two flat-head wood screws. a. Insert the screws into the wall. The screw positions must be on the same horizontal line and the distance between them must be 165 mm. Reserve at least 6 mm between the screw caps and the wall. b. Hang the HGU on the screws through the mounting holes. Set up Wired Connection Connect PC with GPON HGU Ethernet port using an RJ45 Cat 5 cable. Set up Wireless Connection Choose the wireless network name (SSID) “Broadcom1”, there is no password by default. Solutions Provider for FTTx, RFoG and HFC www.ascentcomtec.com Page 9 of 79
