The AK5000 Ethernet product family enables point to point transport of Ethernet services over bonded pairs of copper, optimized
for CSA distances (9kft 26AWG or 12kft 24AWG). The AK5000 family includes the Ethernet Compact Remote Unit that fits into
optional 1RU high brackets for 19” and 23” racks or can be wall mounted with the optional wall mount bracket. The Compact
Remote Unit is either locally powered or line powered by the Central Office Compact Unit or Line Card. Aktino products utilize
the technology “MIMO on DMT” which uses coordinated signal processing over multiple transceivers to achieve significant
performance improvements over standard DSL technology. Refer to the AK500 Ethernet Compact CO Unit Quick Installation
(180-0034-001) or the AK500S Ethernet Multislot Shelf Quick Installation (180-0036-001) for CO installation. Refer to the
AK5000 Ethernet Technical Practice (180-0037-001) for more comprehensive information and troubleshooting.
#1 Mounting
The AK500 Compact Remote Units can be mounted with the
AKCURB Rack Bracket (see Figure 1), with the AKCUF19
or AKCUF23 Rack Flange mounts (see Figure 2), or with
the AKCUWB wall mounting bracket (see Figure 3).
#2 Connections
Frame Ground Connection (see Figure 4)
Crimp a #10 ring lug to a ground wire and attach it onto the
#10 ground stud located on the right side of the rear panel.
Use a wire gauge for grounding at least as heavy as the
power wiring. Attach the grounding wire from the Ground
Lug to a nearby grounding screw on the equipment rack or
facility ground. Note that the ground connection is
required for proper system operation.
Power Connection
The Aktino Compact Remote Unit can either be line
powered from the Aktino Central Office Unit or Line card,
or locally powered with the optional AKRUPA AC adapter.
For maximum reliability, both line power and local power
can be used simultaneously. If locally powering, plug the
AKRUPA AC adapter into the power jack on the back of the
Compact Remote Unit (see Figure 4).
Ethernet Data Connections (See Figure 5)
Attach Ethernet data cables to any of the four 10/100BaseT
RJ45 plugs on the front panel or insert an SFP module in the
front panel slot. Generally, any 100BaseFX or 1000BaseX
SFP module is compatible; contact Aktino Customer Service
with any question regarding SFP compatibility.
Caution In order to comply with the intrabuilding lightning
surge requirements, intrabuilding Ethernet wiring must be
shielded, and the shield for the wiring must be grounded at
both ends.

MultiPair Connection
The MultiPair pluggable connector is used to connect the
Aktino Compact Remote to the outside plant pairs. The
AK512RU uses one four pair connector. The AK525RU
uses two four pair connectors. Insert the tip and rings into
the connector as shown in Figure 6. Tighten screws on top
of the connector. Insert the connector into the MSPAN plug
on the back of the Compact Remote Unit (see Figure 4). The
Compact Remote Unit MSPAN cable’s shield should
generally not be connected to ground (leave open).

Connector
Management Craft Port
Local management craft access is through the MGMT port
on the front panel IF remote management is enabled from
the CO shelf or unit.
1) Connect an Ethernet cable between the maintenance
computer and the Compact Remote Unit’s MGMT port.
2) The Compact Remote Unit has a factory default IP
address of 192.168.10.2.
3) Configure the maintenance computer’s IP address to
192.168.10.3 and Netmask to 255.255.255.0. Note the
maintenance computer’s original settings.
4) Run AktinoView V3 using 192.168.10.2 as the IP
address for the Aktino unit. The default user name and
password is “superuser” (case sensitive).
5) If desired, the Aktino units can now be monitored with
AktinoView. The Compact Remote Unit provides read
only capability only, system parameters cannot be
change. Note, MSPAN must be up to monitor the
system.
6) Exit AktinoView V3.
7) Reconfigure the maintenance computer’s IP address to
original setting.

#3 Monitoring (see Table 1)
AktinoView V3 or higher software is used to monitor the
system. Load AktinoView V3 software onto the
maintenance computer per the instructions on the CDROM
package.
Provisioning from the CO shelf or unit
Provisioning can only be done from the CO shelf or unit.
AktinoView V3 uses the front panel MGMT Ethernet port
for access to the Aktino unit. AktinoView V3 should be
started verify the health of the circuit. The default user name
and password is “superuser”. To provide system security,
the password for superuser and user accounts should be set
up with AktinoView V3 Craft Access tabs under the
Provisioning tab.
See Table 1 below for provisioning parameters available at
the CO shelf or unit. Ethernet and other parameters are
available via the Provisioning tabs.

#4 System Health Verification
As soon as power is applied to the CO unit (and the RT unit
if locally powered), the system automatically starts up. The
front panel indicators show the status of the system (see
Figure 5 and Table 2). If any of the LEDs is not Normal,
AktinoView V3 can be used to determine the source of the
problem.
AktinoView V3 main status screen shows an overview of the
system. Performance monitoring for Ethernet, MSPAN, and
Pair is available through the tabs. Current system alarms
(see Table 3) are displayed on the main status screen. Alarm
history and logs are available through the tabs.
