AP214H GPON ONT is designed as HGU (Home Gateway Unit) in different FTTH solutions. The
carrier-class FTTH application provides data service access. It is based on mature and stable,
cost-effective XPON technology. XPON can switch automatically with EPON and GPON mode
when it accesses to the EPON OLT or GPON OLT. It adopts high reliability, easy management,
configuration flexibility and good quality of service (QoS) guarantees to meet the technical
performance of the module of Telecom EPON CTC3, and GPON Standard of ITU-TG.984.

 Connecting the optical fiber cable to the unit.
 Remove the protective cap of the optical fiber.
 Clean the end of the optical fiber with an optical fiber end cleaner.
 Remove the protective cap of the ONU optical interface (PON interface). Connect the fiber to
the PON port on the unit.
Note: When measuring the optical power before connecting to the ONU, it is recommended
to use a PON Inline Power Meter. The receiver optical power should be between -7dbm and -
28 dbm by using 1490nm.
While connecting, please note:

 Keep the optical connector and the optical fiber clean.
 Make sure there are no tight bends in the fiber and that the bending diameter is greater than
6cm. Otherwise, the optical signal loss may be increased, to the extent that signal may be
unavailable.
 Cover all optic ports and connectors with protective cap to guard against dust and moisture
when the fiber is not used.
 Apply power to the unit. If the product has the power button, please push the power button
before used.
 After the ONU is power ON, Indicators should light up as for normal operation. Check whether
the PON interface status LED (PON) is on continuously. If it is, the connection is normal;
otherwise there is either problem of the physical connection or the optical level at either end.
This may be caused by either too much or too little attenuation over the optical fiber. Please
refer to the Panel Lights Description for normal LED activity.
 Check all signal levels and services on all the ONU communication ports.
Unit Installation Adjustment
Installing the ONU on a horizontal surface (Bench top)
Put the ONU on a clean, flat, sturdy bench top. You must keep the clearance for all sides of
the unit to more than 10cm for heat dissipation.

4. Entry of the user name and password will be prompted. Enter the default login user name
and password.
By default, there are two user levels for management. Administration
level user name is "superadmin", password is "superadmin". Normal user
level user name is "admin", password is "ascent".
The Administration account is able to access and modify all settings of
ONU. It also can modify user account’s username and password.
The normal account can only be used to view configurations, status and
configure few parameters.
