Dual Functionality - The GigaSPIRE family may be
implemented as either a residential gateway or can be
deployed as a Wi-Fi Mesh point. The role the GigaSPIRE
plays in your whole home solution is dependent on the
software installed at the time of deployment.
Extremely User-Friendly Installation - Using the Calix

without assistance from the central offi ce. Remotely manage-
able using Compass software (including Consumer Connect
Plus), confi guration, activation and software upgrades are
easily accomplished via in-band management or a standard
TR-069 interface.
GigaBit Subscriber Experience - The GS2025E AND
GS2026E extends the access network into the home for
controlling the Internet of Things (IoT) and voice recognition
experience. In addition to supporting broadband connectivity
for data and video services, the GS2025E and the GS2026E
service platforms provides a premises-based Wireless
Access Point (WAP) that supports IoT connectivity, and the
802.11ax Wi-Fi technology with voice recognition capabilities.

Powering the GigaSPIRE
To power the equipment:
1. Remove any protective packaging or fi lm prior to power-
ing up the GigaSPIRE.
2. Plug in the power adapter to any available wall socket
and attach the other end to the power port. Note the
power cord is 5 feet (1.5 meters) long.
Managing the GigaSPIRE
To manage the functions of the GigaSPIRE, an Embedded
Web Interface (EWI) is included. To access the EWI of the
GigaSPIRE, connect an Ethernet cable from your PC to the
GigaSPIRE and enter the default IP Address of the device
(192.168.1.1)

Managing Wi-Fi Services
Out of the box, the GigaSPIRE Wi-Fi radios are enabled.
After power is applied, the Wi-Fi radios are functional using
the following default settings.
• SSID: Printed on product label (CXNKxxxxxxxx)
• Number of Radios: 2 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
• Wi-Fi Protocol:802.11a/b/n/g/ac/ax
• Credentials: Login and password printed on label
Connecting the GigaSPIRE to your Network
To complete the network connection, two options exist:
1. If the GigaSPIRE is confi gured as a Residential Gate-
way, connect an Ethernet Cable to it’s WAN port from
the WAN modem (ONU, cable modem, DSL modem
and the like).
2. If the GigaSPIRE is confi gured as the MESH point,
either connect an Ethernet cable from its WAN port
to another GigaSPIRE (RG) or wirelessly connect the
device.
3. Once connected using either method, the GigaSPIRE
can be confi gured via the EWI.
