Safety guidance

Safety check
Before installing the device, you must check the following items.

1. Electric safety
   1. Ensure that there are no inflammable, conductive or moist objects around. Check whether the cables are aged and whether other electrical appliances are placed stably.
   2. check whether the alternating or direct input current is within the allowed range of the device, whether the polarity of the direct current is correct, and whether the earth line is properly connected.
2. Device position
   1. Because the running electric device easily generates heat, please ensure to place the device in a well-ventilated environment.
   2. avoid direct sunshine and do not place the device on a PC case.
   3. keep the device away from heat and water.
   4. check whether power supply is available. The input voltage fluctuation range must be smaller than 10%. The power plug should not share one socket with a hair drier, an iron or a refrigerator.

Safety caution

• Read the quick installation guide carefully before using the device.
• note all cautions in the quick installation guide.
• do not use any accessory that does not belong to the device without prior consent of the manufacture, as it may cause fire or product damage.
• use the power adapter accompanied in the package.
• do not place any object on the device.
• keep the device dry, ventilated, rainproof and clean.
• during lightning weather, unplug the power plug and all connection cables, to protect the device against lightning.
• clean the device using a soft and dry cloth rather than liquid or atomizers. Power off the device before cleaning it.
• power off the idle device.
• keep the ventilation hole clean and prevent any object from dropping into the device through it. Otherwise, it may cause short circuit and further cause device damage or fire. Do not spray liquid on the surface of the device.
• do not open the case of the device, especially during device power-on,
• before plugging or unplugging the power, ensure that the power is off, thus avoiding surge.
• be careful when unplugging the power, as the transformer may be very hot.
• cover the optical interface with fiber interface cap when it is not in use. Avoid direct eye exposure to the laser emitted from the optical interface. Wear safety glasses if possible, to protect your eyes

Caution: Please read the above safety guidance carefully before device use. Users should assume responsibilities for any accidents due to incompliance with the above instructions.

ONU installation

The chapter describes the required installation operations before you use the device for the first time.

Product networking application – FTTH
Fiber to the Home (FTTH) means to install the ONU to residences or enterprise buildings. The optical line terminal (OLT) is placed in the central equipment room. The ONU can be placed in the home of a user, or it can provide connection for the user through the Ethernet interface, according to the user requirement. The OLT connects to the ONU with an optical distributor in a point-to-multipoint way. See the following figure.

Caution: ONU can be placed in a room or the corridor. Because installation and cabling in the corridor are relatively complex, let the professional engineers deploy according to the actual situation. This manual describes the procedure for installing the device at home, and is for reference only.

Connecting ONU 

Wiring connection and power on 

1. Connect fiber optical cable (ended with AC/APC plug) to the optical port located on the bottom of the device.
2. You can connect an Ethernet devices to LAN1-LAN4 (ex.computer with wired NIC, printer, gaming console, set-top-box, TV, etc.)
3. You can connect a phone to TEL socket
4. Plug in the PSU plug to the POWER socket. Before you install the PSU please make sure the ON/OFF button is in OFF position
5. Connect the PSU to the power grid socket
6. Turn on the device by pressing the ON/OFF button.

Caution:
When a fiber is not in use, ensure to cover the optical interface of the ONU and the dust cap of the optical fiber. Prevent grease, dust pollution or water immersion, which may lead to unavailable fiber and optical interface of the device. If fibers need to be fixed or bended during cabling, do not fasten the fibers too tight. Avoid fiber extrusion, which may lead to increase of fiber material or unavailable fiber.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Solution
The POWER indicator is not on	=  Check whether the power connection is correct, =  check whether the power adapter matches the device.
The PON indicator is not on	=  Check whether the SN of ONU matches OLT, =  check whether the optical attenuation is in the normal range.
The LOS indicator is on	=  Check whether the optical fiber cable is properly inserted,   =  check whether the optical fiber connector is clean.
The LAN indicators are not on	=  Check whether the PC NIC is enabled, =  check whether the network cables included in the device package are used, =  check whether the network cable connection is normal, =  check whether the LED for your corresponding LAN port is on, =  check whether the network adapter works in the normal state.
