Note: The FTTC G.Fast/VDSL Installation Assistant has a maximum
operating distance of 50 metres, hence it is not intended for use inside a
customer’s premises.
If the power connection has not successfully negotiated within 15 minutes,
the FTTC G.Fast/VDSL Installation Assistant powers off automatically.
When packing up the FTTC G.Fast/VDSL Installation Assistant, carefully
place all items in the carry case so that the case can be closed easily. Do
not force the case shut.
7. Push the power button on the top panel of the Installation Assistant once. The unit
beeps once and the power LED lights up blue to indicate the Installation Assistant
has turned on. The DPU takes approximately 10 minutes to pre-charge.
Once connected and powering the DPU, the Installation Assistant beeps three
times and the Link Status LED turns solid blue to indicate that the reverse power
feed negotiation is complete. The FTTC DPU then begins bootup which takes
approximately 2 minutes.
When it has completed booting, you may begin diagnostics. When you have nished
performing diagnostics, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn off
the Installation Assistant.

• Only use the FTTC Installation Assistant to power up the DPU. The Network
Connection Device (NCD) must not be used in the eld for installation.
• Check the ports of the Y-cable and the RJ-11 plug from Line 1 of the DPU.
There should be no dirt or dust obstructing the connecting pins. If pins are dirty,
clean them with compressed air.
Pins should be straight and not bent. If they are bent, order a replacement Y-cable.
