Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
This document is intended to provide technicians with the necessary information to unpack,
properly ground, install and test a Calix Model 560 ONT.
This chapter includes a brief overview of Calix FTTH network, a description of the Model
560 ONT, the various configuration options, and components required to establish the
network.
Additional technical information as well as a more detailed description of the system can be
found in the following publications:
yCalix FTTH System Design Guidelines. This document discusses network
architecture options, design examples and Link Budget calculators.
yCalix F5 Installation Guide. This document covers installation and deployment of the
F5 headend system.

FTTH Technology Overview
The Calix network provides any combination of voice, video and data services for Fiber-To-
The-Home (FTTH) networks. Signals are distributed from a central office and driven by
active, powered transmitters over a fiber optic network (split up to 32 ways) to the subscriber
premises without any powered signal amplification. Return signals are passively combined
using optical components, without the use of powered signal amplification. The system
architecture will support a 32-way passive split up to a distance of 6 miles. Distances between
6 and 11 miles are supported with a 16-way split and distances of 11 to 12.4 miles are
supported via an 8-way split.
For reference, a block diagram of the Calix GPON Architecture is provided.
Voice Services
Voice Services are provided through the flexible architecture of the F5s DACs (Digital
Access Cross-connect) functionality. The shelf allows for Switched and Non-Switched T1
trunking through the Quad T1 modules. The Quad T1 modules are able to transport whole
or fractional T1s as necessary. The switched services adhere to the Telcordia GR-303
standard. The GR-303 capability allows for expanded line concentration to increase the line
density and still maintain industry standard blocking ratios. The Model 560 ONT receives the
signal and provides POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) on binding posts for connection.

Video Services
Video Services may be provided by theses in two different formats.
RF Video
RF video is supported on a discrete path known as the VPON (Video Passive Optical
Network). The origin of the video comes from an RF Video HeadEnd. The RF signal enters
the optical transmitter and is multi-plexed into the GPON. The signal is converted to light
and “muxed” into the voice and data network using a Course Wave Division Multiplexor
(CWDM). The ONT converts the light back to the RF video signal. In this configuration, the
analog video service is totally independent of the Voice/Data/Digital video service
controlled by the shelf.
Switched Video Services (SVS)
SVS is an IP video solution. The video content is digitized and combined with the voice and
data traffic on the GPON. The origin of the video could be a digital feed by a content
provider or another source that can provide a digital video feed. The SVS signal is sent to a
data switch that combines this video signal with the data signal before forwarding it to the
shelf. The shelf combines the Voice, SVS and Data and converts it to light to be sent to the
ONTs via the GPON. The Model 560 sends the SVS and Data to the RJ-45 jack(s) for
output to the home.
Data Services
Data Services are provided by the system through the GPON module. The module has a
10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port which connects to a switch supporting the data and
Switched Video Services (SVS) content. The data is converted to light and sent to the ONTs
via the GPON. The Model 560 ONT converts the light back to the Ethernet signal and
outputs the signal on an RJ-45 jack.
Service Delivery
The F5 transport has at its core an ATM packet engine. To assist with Quality of Service
(QOS), different services are handled at different AALs (ATM Adaption Layers). Voice
Service is handled at AAL2, Dedicated Services are handled at AAL1 and Data Services are
handled at AAL5. The AAL5 layer incorporates prioritization of data packets, either High
(1), Medium (2) or Low (3) priority. Additional features (i.e. bandwidth) are provisioned on a
customer by customer basis through the CMS software.

Calix Model 560 ONT
The Calix Model 560 ONT provides the following primary features:
yIs designed to be mounted directly to the subscribers home (fully hardened
[weatherproof])
yCan be mounted in an internal utility room for small business applications.
yHouses the electronics that provides conversion between the fiber optic signals and
the electrical signals required by each subscriber.
yThe Model 560 ONT as standard can be provisioned for up to four telephone access
lines. Additional lines may be provisioned utilizing the expansion UVG module (4 or
8 additional lines) or Quad T1 module.
Important: The Model 560 ONT is capable of supporting up to 12 binding post
connections for telephone lines. In certain applications, a total of 20 lines may exist. In
these cases, external termination of these lines is required.
yTelephones may be connected remotely (up to 500 feet from the unit). The 500 feet
off-premises extension capability allows for remote telephone or other accessory
locations).
yAll off-premises extensions require additional surge protection.
yEach CATV signal exiting the ONT is optimized to allow for a four way split (or 16
total circuits) and 50 feet of coax cable prior to reaching the device (TV, etc.)
yPower to the ONT is provided locally.
yIn applications which require 8 or fewer telephony lines, a single UPS is needed to
ensure life line services can be maintained for an adequate period. For installations
with 9 or more lines, an external battery pack will be required to provide the
minimum 8 hours life line service.
ONT Component Descriptions
Name Description

ONT Enclosure
The Model 560 ONT enclosure is a core component of the system. It houses and protects
the electronics that convert the subscriber premises electrical signals to the optical signals
that are transmitted to the central office and vice versa for headend signals. The ONT has
an outer and inner enclosure.
The outer enclosure has the following characteristics:
y19.125 inches(48.58 cm) high
y15.25 inches (38.74 cm) wide
y4.5 inches (11.43 cm) deep
yHas a weather resistance casing to protect against wind driven rain, “sea air” and/or
dust contamination
yIncorporates two distinct levels of access: subscriber access and/or service provider
access
yIt has several options for cable entrances
yIt includes a fiber splice tray and tabs for securing the fiber inside the cover of the
enclosure
yIt can be mounted directly on a building
The inner enclosure includes the following:
yHas the ability to receive software downloads from the Central Office or headend
eliminating the need for “truck roll” software/firmware upgrades.
ySeparate secure access for telco technicians.

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.
The subscriber has access to all outgoing service connections including the following (located
outside the secure access cover):
yTelephony connections: Tip and Ring connectors are accessible
yVideo or Cable TV connections (F-Connector)
yData connection (Ethernet [RJ-45])
yT1 Connections (RJ-45) - Optional
yExpansion UVG Connections (Tip and Ring) - Optional
Main Electronics Module (MEM)
The MEM provides the telephony, signal processing, transport and power supply circuitry
for the ONT. This circuit card is mounted inside a protective electro-magnetic interference
(EMI) shield, reducing the possibility of disrupting (or being disrupted by) other customer
equipment.
Incoming fiber from the BPON or GPON port of the shelf is attached via an SC/APC
connection mounted onto the MEM.
LEDs are built into the assembly to assist service personnel in determining component status
and troubleshooting in the field (located behind the secure access cover).
