Chapter 2 Installation

2.1 Package Contents

Verify the package contains the following items. Contact your distributor if any items are damaged or missing. Figures are for demonstration only; actual items may vary.

• One OLT Device
• One Power Cord and One Console Cable
• Installation Guide
• Mounting Brackets, Screws and Rubber Feet

2.2 Safety Precautions

To prevent device damage and bodily injury from improper use, observe these rules:

• Keep the power off during installation.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap with good skin contact and proper grounding.
• Use only the provided power cord.
• Ensure the supply voltage matches the device's rear panel specifications.
• Install the device in a well-ventilated environment with unobstructed ventilation holes.
• Do not open or remove the device cover.
• Before cleaning, cut off the power supply. Do not use water or liquid cleaners.
• Place the device with its bottom surface downward.

Site Requirements

Temperature/Humidity

Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity levels in the equipment room. Excessive or insufficient humidity can lead to insulation issues, leakage, mechanical property changes, and corrosion. High temperatures can accelerate aging and shorten service life. Refer to Appendix B Specifications for optimal conditions.

Clearness

Dust accumulation can cause static electricity and poor contact. While the device has static prevention measures, strong static electricity can damage internal components. To avoid static effects:

• Dust the device regularly and keep the indoor air clean.
• Ensure the device is well-grounded to transfer static electricity.

Electromagnetic Interference

Electronic components can be affected by external interferences (capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, impedance coupling). To minimize interference:

• Use a power supply that effectively filters grid interference.
• Keep the device away from high-frequency and strong-current devices (e.g., radio transmitting stations).
• Use electromagnetic shielding if necessary.

Lightning Protection

Lightning can cause extremely high voltage currents, potentially damaging electronic devices. Implement effective lightning protection measures:

• Ensure the rack and device are well-earthed.
• Ensure the power socket has good contact with the ground.
• Maintain a reasonable cabling system to avoid induced lightning.
• Use a signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) for outdoor wiring.

Note: For detailed lightning protection measures, refer to the Lightning Protection Guide.

Installation Site

When installing on a rack or workbench, consider the following:

• The rack or workbench must be flat, stable, and sturdy enough to support at least 5.5 kg.
• The rack or workbench should have good ventilation, and the equipment room must be well-ventilated.
• The rack must be well-grounded. Keep the device within 1.5 meters of the power socket.

2.3 Installation Tools

Required tools (not included):

• Phillips screwdriver
• ESD-preventive wrist wrap
• Cables

2.4 Product Installation

To install the device in a standard EIA 19-inch rack:

1. Check the grounding system's efficiency and the rack's stability.
2. Secure the supplied rack-mounting brackets to each side of the device using the provided screws.
3. Attach the brackets to the rack using suitable screws (not provided).

Rack Installation Caution:

• Leave 5 to 10 cm gaps around devices for air circulation.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on the device.
• Place the device with its bottom facing downwards.
• Mount devices from bottom to top in the rack, ensuring clearance for heat dissipation.

Chapter 3 Connection

3.1 Port Connection

Connect the OLT ports to devices and networks as needed. The following figure demonstrates port connection options using the DS-P7001-08 as an example.

Connection Diagram Description: The diagram shows a network layout with an OLT connected to the ISP Central Network (via SFP+ and GE ports) and the GPON Network (via PON port). The ISP Central Network connects to the Internet and Servers. Management PCs connect to the OLT via MGMT (Web UI) and Console (CLI) ports.

Connection Steps:

1. Install the OLT SFP module into the PON port and connect it to the GPON network using an optical cable.
2. Install the 10 Gbps SFP+ module into the SFP+ port and connect it to the ISP central network using an optical cable.
3. Connect the GE port to the ISP central network using an Ethernet cable.
4. Connect the MGMT port to a management PC via an Ethernet cable for configuration and monitoring through the Web UI.
5. Connect the Console port to a management PC via an RJ45 console cable for configuration and monitoring through the CLI.

3.2 Verify Installation

After installation, verify the following:

• Adequate clearance (5-10 cm) around the device for ventilation and airflow.
• The power supply voltage meets the device's input voltage requirements.
• The power socket, device, and rack are properly grounded.
• The device is correctly connected to other network devices.

3.3 Power On

Note: The device can be powered by AC or DC. Using both AC and DC simultaneously is recommended for backup. For DS-P7001-08, three dual power supply modes exist (AC-DC, AC-AC, DC-DC). For AC-DC, install the DC module on the backup panel and AC on the main panel. A standard AC outlet is recommended for the main supply, and a UPS for backup. For DS-P7001-04, AC power has priority over DC.

Using AC Power Supply

Plug the female connector of the power cord into the device's power socket and the male connector into an earthed power outlet. Ensure the voltage (100-240V~ 50/60Hz) is correct. The DS-P7001-08 is used as an example in the figure; your device may differ.

Caution: Use only the provided AC power cord.

Using DC Power Supply

The DS-P7001-08 is used as an example in the figures; your device may differ.

1. Connect the power cord: Use an 18-14 AWG power cord to connect the power supply equipment to the device's DC power input, ensuring a reliable connection. Match positive and negative poles correctly. An all-pole mains switch compliant with EN 62368-1 2014 Annex L is required in the building's electrical installation, with a contact separation of at least 1.5mm.
2. Connect to the ground:

Grounding methods may vary. Ensure the protective earthing terminal is connected to the installation's protective earthing conductor.

Using the grounding bar: If a grounding bar is available in the Equipment Room, connect the device to it using an 18-14 AWG ground cable as shown in the figure.

Grounding Diagram Description: Shows a device rear panel with a grounding terminal, connected via a ground cable (18-14 AWG) to a grounding bar.

Equipotential bonding: This practice connects all earthed systems to the same grounding grid to create an equipotential zone, minimizing potential differences during lightning events.

Equipotential Bonding Diagram Description: Illustrates equipotential bonding in a network, showing grounding terminals and bonding cables connecting various components to a grounding bar.

Caution: The product can be powered by DC sources like accumulator cells or power supply servers. DC power supply must comply with EN 62368-1 2014 clause 5.4.2.3.2.3, with transient voltage not exceeding 2500 Vpeak. Power wires and disconnecting devices for DC power are not included and must be purchased separately. The external overcurrent protective device for DC power should not exceed 16 A.

3.4 Initialization

After powering on, the device performs a Power-On Self-Test. LED indicators will behave as follows:

1. The PWR LED remains on.
2. The SYS LED flashes momentarily, then turns off. After successful initialization, the SYS LED stays on.
3. Port LEDs flash momentarily and turn off, then indicate port status normally.

Chapter 4 Configuration

The device supports three configuration methods:

• Via the MGMT Port
