Prior to Installation
Before installing the equipment, inspect the device. If damage has occurred during shipping, file a claim with the carrier, and then contact Adtran
Customer Support. For more information, refer to the product warranty available online at http://adtran.com/warranty-terms.
Required Tools
No special tools are required for installing the 854-(v)6.
Mounting Options
There are two options to install the 854-(v)6: desktop and wall mount. Be sure to route and secure the cables in a manner that will prevent
damage. These options are described below.
Desktop Installation
The 854-(v)6 can be placed on a desk or table. Table 1 shows the recommended minimum distance (in feet and meters) between the device and
household appliances to reduce interference.
NOTE
g
Refer to the national, state and local electrical codes for the requirements for power, grounding, wiring, and installation methods.
CAUTION!
f
The product is intended for indoor use only. Ethernet, Voice, and attached equipment are intended for use within the same building with
equipotential bonding, and not intended to be placed in separate buildings or structures. Failure to deploy as described could result in
permanent damage from lightning or other electrical events and voids the warranty. Furthermore, all connections from outside of the
building must be disconnected prior to use.

Wall Mount Installation
The 854-(v)6 can be mounted on a wall. Wall Mount Kit (17600192F1) can be ordered for mounting the 854-(v)6. Instructions are provided in the
related Quick Start Guide (617600192F1-13).
Supplying Power to the Device
1. Connect the end of the power adapter to the Power port on the back panel of the device
2. Plug the other end of the power adapter into the wall outlet.
3. The SDG will begin powering up immediately as the 854-(v)6 has no on/off power switch.
4. Confirm that the power is connected properly. The Multifunction Status LED should be lit on the front of the device, as described in the
following section “Multifunction Status LED”.
Subscriber Connections
The following subscriber connections are available on the 854-(v)6:
■ 2.5G Ethernet port (RJ-45 Connector) - WAN port
■ SFP - WAN port (on bottom of unit)
■ 4x Ethernet port (RJ-45 Connector) – LAN port
■ USB 3.0 (Type A Connector)
■ 2x Voice (RJ-11) interfaces (854-v6 only)
To connect the Ethernet interfaces, refer to Figure 1 on page 1 and insert a Category 5E (or better) RJ-45 cable into any LAN port and the WAN
port until there is an audible click.
The USB 3.0 host port is reserved for future use. This port currently provides +5 VDC for charging external devices.
Resetting the Device
A reset button is available if the 854-(v)6 needs to be rebooted or restored to factory defaults. To reboot the 854-(v)6, press the Reset button on
the back panel of the device for less than 5 seconds. To reset the device to factory defaults, press the Reset button for 5 seconds or more.
Activating Wi-Fi Protected Setup™
Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) is a standard means for creating secure connections between the 854-(v)6 and various wireless client devices. This
feature is designed to simplify the pairing process between the devices. Perform the following steps to activate WPS:
1. Press the WPS button on the back of the 854-(v)6 for less than 5 seconds for 5GHz or more than 5 seconds for 2.4GHz.
2. The WPS LED on the back of the unit is steady green when WPS is on and flashing green when WPS is passing traffic.
3. WPS search mode continues for 2 minutes. The next step must be completed before the 2 minutes have lapsed.
4. In the Wi-Fi settings for the LAN device to be connected to the local network, locate and select the name of the wireless network (SSID) to which
you want to connect. The 854-(v)6 should complete the connection without requiring the password to be manually entered.
Understanding the Status LEDs
A multifunction status LED on the front of the unit and status LED’s on the back panel allow you monitor the device status.
Multifunction Status LED
The multifunction status LED on the front of the unit indicates the device status.The meaning of the LED state is different depending on whether
the unit is running SmartOS or PlumeOS. Table 2 defines the multifunction status LED state when running SmartOS.
NOTE
g
Only one WAN port may be connected at a time.

Quick Setup for the 854-(v)6
The SDG product line can ship with two possible firmware options: PlumeOS and SmartOS. Quick setup instructions of Wi-Fi and connection to
the Internet for your 854-(v)6 will vary based on which OS is installed on the device. Confirm whether your 854-(v)6 is deployed with SmartOS
firmware or PlumeOS firmware, then choose accordingly from the following options.
■ For devices shipped with PlumeOS installed, the setup requires installation of the HomePass smartphone app by Plume.
The workflow for initializing an Adtran SDG differs slightly from other Plume enabled devices. Detailed quick setup instructions for Adtran
SDGs using the HomePass app are available at the Adtran Support Community web site.
■ For devices shipped with SmartOS installed, scan the QR code labeled WiFi QuickStart located on the back of the unit. You will be presented
with a series of self-guided steps to choose your account password, select gateway or access point mode, and configure the Wi-Fi SSID
and passphrase. The specified account password will be used when logging into the GUI in the SDG.
Logging Into the 854-(v)6
Using SmartOS
A browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) is used to manually configure the 854-(v)6. The following steps describe how to connect and
login to the device:
1. Ensure your computer is connected to the 854-(v)6 either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection to one of the LAN ports.
2. Configure your computer’s network interface to acquire an IP address automatically using DHCP.
3. Open a web browser and enter the following: http://router or http://setup. A sign-in page should appear. If you are unable to connect to
the 854-(v)6 using either of these shortcuts, you can also enter the IP address of the unit. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
4. Enter the default username and password. The default username is admin and the default password is admin.
5. Select Sign In. The Dashboard GUI page appears, showing data about the system.
