Introduction
The ONU-6040BF-2x is an optical network unit (ONU)
that allows you to enjoy high-speed Internet access
over optical networks. The ONU-6040BF-2x comes with
one fiber, four 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports and one co-
axial CATV connector. No configuration is required. On
the ONU-6040BF-2x, all device configuration is done
remotely by the OLT (Optical Line Terminal). Once you
have connected the hardware, you are ready to enjoy
Internet access.
Two ONU-6040BF-2x models are discussed in this
guide: ONU-6040BF-21 (with a 10km transceiver) and
ONU-6040BF-22 (with a 20km transceiver).
Hardware Connections
1. PON:Follow the steps below to connect an SC-type,
single-mode optical cable to the PON port for
Internet access.
Only qualified technicians should perform these actions!
Please skip this section if you are not a qualified
technician.

4
a. Hold the ONU-6040BF-2x upright, push the top
cover forward with the LEDs (lights) facing you,
then lift up the top cover to remove it.

6
b. Wind the fiber-optic cable around the tray in the
ONU-6040BF-2x.
c. Connect the fiber-optic connector into the PON
port.
d. Put the top cover back.
To avoid possible eye injury, do NOT look into an
operating fiber-optic module’s connector.
2. LAN:Use the included Ethernet cable to connect the
LAN port to a computer.

3. CATV:Use a coaxial cable to connect the CATV port
to a television or set-top box with an F-connector.
 Overly tightened coaxial cable may affect
transmission quality and/or break the connector
pin.
4. POWER: Use the included power adaptor to connect
this power socket to an appropriate power source.
Check the LEDs (Lights)
•ThePWR LED turns steady on when you connect the
ONU-6040BF-2x to the power supply.
•ThePON LNK LED turns on when the fiber connection
is available.
•TheLAN LED turns on when the LAN port is properly
connected.
•TheCATV LED turns on when the CATV port is
properly connected and the ONU-6040BF-2x detects a
video signal.

Hardware Installation
The ONU-6040BF-2x can be vertically placed on a
desktop with the included stand or mounted on a wall.
Standing Instructions
Place the right panel of the ONU-6040BF-2x (when
facing the LEDs) onto the included stand until the ONU-
6040BF-2x fits in the stand completely. Make sure the
label names of the LEDs are displayed correctly and
not upside-down. Place the ONU-6040BF-2x and the
stand on a flat, level surface that is strong enough to
support the weight of the ONU-6040BF-2x with
connection cables.

11
Wall-mounting Instructions
Complete the following steps to hang your ONU-
6040BF-2x on a wall.
1. Select a position free of obstructions on a sturdy
wall.
2. Drill two holes large enough for the M4 tap screws.
Make sure the distance between the centers of the
holes is 140mm.
Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located
inside the wall when drilling holes for the screws.

12
3. Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall.
Leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm between the
heads of the screws and the wall.
4. Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the
wall. They need to hold the weight of the ONU-
6040BF-2x with the connection cables.
5. Align the holes on the back of the ONU-6040BF-2x
with the screws on the wall. Hang the ONU-6040BF-
2x on the screws.
The following are dimensions of an M4 tap screw and
masonry plug used for wall mounting. All
measurements are in millimeters (mm).

Troubleshooting
1. The PWR light is not on when I connect power to the
ONU-6040BF-2x.
• Check that the power source is turned on.
• You might be using the wrong power adaptor. Use
the included power adaptor only.
• If you are using the correct power adaptor,
disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor to
turn on the ONU-6040BF-2x again.
• If the PWR light is still not on, use a different
power outlet.
• If the problem continues, contact your local
vendor.
2. The PON light is off.
• Check the connector on the optical cable and the
PON port. Make sure they are clean and dust-free.
Use an air duster to clean the connectors. Do
NOT use a wet cloth to clean the connectors.
• Check the optical cable. Make sure it is not
broken. If the cable is broken, contact your service
provider to have the cable/connector replaced. Do

14
NOT attempt to replace the optical cable/
connector yourself.
3. The CATV light is off.
• Check the PON light. If the PON light is off, see 2
The PON light is off. If the PON light is on, contact
your service provider and make sure the video
signals can be transmitted successfully.
4. The CATV light is on but no video is displayed.
• Check the coaxial cable connection between the
CATV port and your TV or set-top box.
• Check that the TV is turned on.
• Check the coaxial cable. Make sure it is not
broken. Try using another coaxial cable if you’re
unsure.
5. I cannot connect to the Internet.
• Check the port connections and the lights.
• There might be problems with the optical network
setting. Contact your service provider.
