 Do not place the equipment near flammable or conductive items, high temperatures (such as
direct sunlight) or in wet conditions, or on a PC chassis, and check that the surrounding
appliances are stable.
 Check the cable for aging. Check and verify that the AC or DC input voltage is within the
permissible range of the device and that the polarity of the DC is correct.
 Unless the manufacturer permit, use the type of power indicated on the label and the adapter
supplied with the product.
 To prevent damage to the product from lightning, make sure that the ground of the power
outlet and the power adapter is securely grounded. In the thunderstorm, be sure to unplug the
power and all the connections.
 Equipment input voltage fluctuation should be less than 10%, the power plug, refrigerators, hair
dryer and iron should not use the same socket.
 To avoid electric shock or fire due to overload of the power outlet, damage to the cord or
damage to the plug, check the power cord regularly. If damage is found, replace it immediately.
 Please place the device on a flat surface and cannot place items on the device.
 Equipment is easy to produce heat when working, should maintain the appropriate cooling
space to avoid damage caused by overheating products. The elongated hole on the shell is
designed for heat dissipation. Keep the ventilation clean and avoid falling from the heat sink
into the equipment. Otherwise, the equipment may be damaged or fire. Do not spill liquid onto
the surface of the equipment.
 Please read the user manual carefully before using the equipment and follow all the
precautions on the user manual and the product.
 Avoid eye looked at the optical interface directly, so as to avoid the laser beam emitted by the

LOID of ONU is mainly applicable of the authentication mode of LOID and LOID + Password for
ONU. By default, ONU registers for the OLT by SN and rarely uses LOID for register. Normally,
we needn’t to configure LOID. But the configuration as follows:

password of ONU:
Home Gateway Unit (HGU) ONU supports route function, so that there are route mode and
bridge mode for internet. The difference between route mode and bridge mode as follows:
Route mode: ONT as a home gateway equipment, ONT IP address can be obtained in three
ways, which includes DHCP, Static IP Address, and PPPoE. The IP address of the device on the
user side is obtained through the DHCP address pool of the ONT, or by manually setting;
Bridge mode: The ONT does not obtain the IP address assigned by the upper device or can

not manually set the static IP address. It is used as a relay device and does not process the
data. There are three ways to obtain the IP address of the user side device, namely DHCP,
PPPoE, and Static IP Address.
Login ONU WEB, select Internet -> Internet Config -> Internet Config, and then there are
some parameters for us to configure as follows:
【WAN Connection name】Select ‘Add WAN Connection’
【Mode】Select ‘Route’
【Connection Mode】Select ‘Ipv4’; If there is Ipv6 in the network, we can select ‘Ipv4/Ipv6’.
【Internet way】Select ‘PPPoE’
【NAT】Check ‘NAT’ feature; NAT is mainly used for address translation function of local
network and external network. The default is checked enable status. If you do not check this
option, maybe you can’t surf the internet.
【Enable Vlan】We can set this option according to your network plan. If there is VLAN in the
network for internet, we have to check ‘Enable VLAN’ option. If not, we needn’t check this
option, which will be VLAN transparent mode.
【Vlan ID】Configure this option according to our network plan.
【MTU】The default is 1492; we have to change to lower MTU, such as 1400, if we can ping
the DNS but not access the website via WEB browser.
【User Name】Type PPPoE account, normally offered by ISP, for Internet
【Password】Type PPPoE password, normally offered by ISP, for Internet
【Service Mode】Select Internet; Normally, select ‘ Internet ’ in the route mode.
【LAN DHCP Disable】Don’t check this option; Normally, Terminal, connected to the HGU
ONU, will get an IP address from the ONU’s IP pool. Therefore, we needn’t check this option
to get the IP address.
【Bind port】Bundle the physical ports (Lan port 1-4 and wireless) with PPPoE WAN
connection.
Note
By default, all LAN ports and WIFI data are not bound by this WAN connection (a LAN and WIFI
SSID can only be bound to a WAN connection at the same time).

automatically; Selected ‘Disable’, we have to configure an static DNS for the ONU by manual.
We can configure one of them according to network plan.
【Primary DNS / Secondary DNS】After disable ‘Request DNS’ function, we have to set a
static DNS in here.
