Installing the FTTH CPE

Connecting to the CPE

Caution: The CPE fiber line should be connected to the unit by a qualified technician only. Do not attempt to remove the fiber cable from the CPE. If there are any problems with the fiber cable connection, contact your service provider.

You can connect any computer with an Ethernet network interface card, a LAN switch, hub, or other network device to the CPE’s UTP port.

Making a Connection to the UTP Port

The UTP port on the CPE supports automatic MDI and MDI-X pinout selection. This allows you to use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (computers, switches, routers, or hubs).

See “Port and Cable Assignments” on page 26 for more information on connecting straight-through or crossover UTP cables to MDI or MDI-X ports.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the CPE. Instead, use only twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.

To connect the CPE’s UTP port directly to a computer, carry out the following steps:

1.Prepare the computer you wish to connect. Make sure you have installed a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network interface card for connecting to the CPE’s UTP port.

2.Check that the CPE’s UTP port has auto-negotiation enabled by setting the “Auto” DIP-switch to ON. If you manually set the speed and duplex mode, be sure that the CPE and computer’s network interface card settings match.

3.Prepare straight-through shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 plugs at both ends (not included in the CPE package). Use 100-ohm Category 3 or greater cable for 10 Mbps Ethernet connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or greater cable for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connections.

4.Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of the computer’s network interface card, and the other end to the UTP port on the CPE. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
