Additional Mounting Considerations
The options for mounting a GigaPro GPR2032H system are well documented. From a best practice’s standpoint, keep the following in mind: Calix recommends mounting the GigaPro as high as practical for Wi-Fi performance
reasons. However, this deployment scenario still mandates that an AC power outlet is located within the power cord distance of the Wi-Fi source. If installing in a greenfield environment (initial installation), plan on placing the GPR2032H within 4 feet of the power supply. As an alternative, longer power cords are available to extend the distance between the GigaPro and the power supply. Calix also recommends keeping cabling neat and well secured wherever possible. A tidy installation allows for increased safety and an overall neater appearance. Common tools used for this purpose include cable ties and velcro straps for routing cable out of the way. Also, custom made wall plates are often used where the majority of cabling is hidden behind a wall.

Final Set-up and Testing

Calix EDGE systems support a variety of system reset functions and provide multiple methods for invoking each of these functions, as described in this topic. Calix defines these functions and behaviors as follows:

1. Basic reset (reboot): Restarts the unit.
2. Configuration reset: Resets the RG configuration settings (those visible to the subscriber/Admin user in the EWI, such as SSIDs, LAN IP scope, etc.) to defaults, but retains operator-configured management settings (those visible only to the Support user in the EWI, such as ACS URL and SPID).
3. Factory reset: Resets the router (and any attached mesh satellites) to factory default settings. A factory reset also removes devices from network management systems such as Calix Support Cloud and the Smart Home Admin Dashboard, where applicable.

These reset functions can be used as troubleshooting and/or operations tools for reset/removal scenarios. Hardware-invoked resets behave differently depending on how long the reset button is pressed, as described below.

GPR2032 Reset Behavior

The reset button will do a “restore to defaults” when held for 10 seconds which clears everything except what was set by Smart Activate (restores defaults to whatever was set up during installation by the service provider).

Where Performed

Note: Performing a reset does not remove the default SPID and ACS URL that has been assigned to the system. This is designed intentionally, so that u6 systems cannot be taken out of service by the subscriber if they were to cancel and/or move to another service provider. The SPID and ACS URL are unique for each service provider.

Basic reset (reboot): Restarts the router.

II. Configuration reset: Resets the RG configuration settings (those visible to the subscriber/Admin user in the EWI, such as SSIDs, LAN IP scope, etc.) to defaults, but retains operator-configured management settings (those visible only to the Support user in the EWI, such as ACS URL and SPID).

III. Factory reset: Resets the router (and any attached mesh satellites) to factory default settings. A factory reset also removes devices from network management systems, including Calix Support Cloud and the Smart Home Admin Dashboard, where applicable.

These reset functions can be used as troubleshooting and/or operations tools for reset/removal scenarios, whether the device is deployed as a an RG or as a subtended WAP or Satellite (GigaSpire BLAST or GigaMesh). Hardware-invoked resets behave differently depending on how long the reset button is pressed, as described below.

LED States – WPS Functionality
Pressing the WPS button a single time is primary mode, for mobile device connecting to the RG. Pressing WPS button for about 3 seconds is backhaul mode, for satellites connecting to the RG. Pressing WPS button 3 times in 10s is IPTV mode, for IPTV connecting to the RG. After pressing the button, the WPS feature will stay in pairing mode for 120 seconds. During this time, other Wi-Fi capable devices can be paired to the Gateways Wi-Fi radios (5 GHz band) by initializing a similar WPS function on the other device or mesh satellite thereby creating an association with the Gateway SSID and the mesh satellite. When the Gateway and the mesh satellite are successfully paired, they will have the same primary SSID (2.4 and 5 GHz).
Sequence of WPS operation 1. Press WPS button a single time (3+ seconds in a 10-second window, according to SW
convention). 2. Device Gateway enters pairing mode (up to 120 seconds). 3. If another device is found, the device pairs with the device. 4. If no device is found, the unit will exit pairing mode after 120 second. Note: WPS LED behavior takes priority even if Alexa is in use during the pairing period.

3. WPS Pressed, Pairing Attempt Started

WPS is enabled upon pressing the WPS a single time. The device will stay in pairing mode for 120 seconds.
During this time, other Wi-Fi capable devices can be paired to the Gateway Wi-Fi radios (5.0 GHz band) by initializing a similar WPS function on the other unit or mesh satellite thereby creating an association with the Gateway SSID and the mesh satellite. When the Gateway and the mesh satellite are successfully paired, they will have the same primary SSID (2.4 and 5.0 GHz).
WPS LED behavior takes priority even if Alexa is used during the pairing period.

LED bar begins flashing at 500 m/sec intervals and continues for at most 120
seconds.

4. Gateway Not Found

If no device is found after the initial 120 second time-out, the WPS/Strength
LED bar shifts from the blinking green to solid red.

LED bar remains red for another 60 seconds, then reverts to the “No Internet failure status.

LED States – Mesh Mode
WPS is enabled upon pressing the WPS button a single time. After pressing the button, the GigaPro will stay in pairing mode for 120 seconds. During this time, other Wi-Fi capable devices can be paired to the Gateway Wi-Fi radios (5 GHz band) by initializing a similar WPS function on the other GPR2032H or GM1020 mesh satellite thereby creating an association with the Gateway SSID and the mesh satellite. When the Gateway and the mesh satellite are successfully paired, they will have the same primary SSID (2.4, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz).
