CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1 Overview
The PM7516-R0 is a Symmetric Passive Optical Network (XGSPON) Bridge Optical Network Terminals
(ONT) with one 10G Ethernet port.
1.1.1 Network Bridge
The Ethernet port on the Zyxel Device acts as a bridge. You can connect a switch or router to it. In the
example figure below, the service provider (OLT) uses one physical fiber line to provide service for the
Ethernet port on the Zyxel Device. The PM7516-R0’s Ethernet port provides a 10G service to the devices
behind a switch or router.
Figure 1 PM7516-R0 as a Network Bridge
1.1.2 Internet Access
Your Zyxel Device provides Internet access by connecting a fiber optic line provided by the Internet
Service Provider (ISP) to the PON port. It supports OMCI (ONU Management and Control Interface) for
provisioning and management by the ISP's OLT (Optical Line Terminal).
1.1.3 Multi-Gigabit
A 10 Gigabit Ethernet port supports speeds of 10 Gbps if the connected device supports 10 Gbps and a
Cat 6a (up to 100 m) or Cat 6 cable (up to 50 m) is used.
Some network devices such as gaming computers, servers, network attached storage (NAS) devices, or
access points may have network cards that are only capable of 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps connectivity.
If these devices are connected to a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet port, they can only transmit or receive
at up to 1 Gbps as speeds of 10 Gbps cannot be attained. Moreover, if network devices with 10 Gbps
network cards are connected to a 10 Gbps Ethernet port, you must use Cat 6 or better Ethernet cables
to achieve 10 Gbps speeds.

1.2 Managing the Zyxel Device
Use the Zyxel Device’s built-in Web Configurator to manage it. You can connect to it using a web
browser. For details on connecting to it, see the Section 2.1.1 on page 12.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the Zyxel Device
Do the following things regularly to make the Zyxel Device more secure and to manage the Zyxel
Device more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
POWER Connect the power cable to start the Zyxel Device.
UPS Connect a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to the UPS port to have a backup power source
when the main power fails.
RESET Press the recessed button for more than 5 seconds (or until the POWER LED starts to blink), then
release it to return the Zyxel Device to the factory defaults (the randomly assigned default
password, LAN IP address 192.168.0.1 etc.)
10G LAN Connect computers, IPTVs, gaming consoles, and other Ethernet devices to this port for up to 10
Gbps Internet access.
