Installing the FTTH CPE
21
Notes: 1. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
2. We advise using Category 5 cable for all network connections to avoid any
confusion or inconvenience in the future when you upgrade devices to Fast
Ethernet.
Powering On the CPE
Plug the AC power adapter directly into a power outlet. Check the LED marked
“PWR” on the front panel to be sure it is on.
Otherwise, the CPE can derive its operating power directly from the LAN port when
connected to a device that provides IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet.
If the CPE is connected to both a PoE source device and an AC power source, PoE
is used, and input from the AC adapter disabled.
Configuring the TCP/IP Protocol
To connect to the Internet through the CPE’s Ethernet port, a computer must have
an Ethernet network interface card installed, and be configured for the TCP/IP
protocol. Many service providers will configure TCP/IP for client computers
automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). Other service providers may specify an IP configuration (known as
a static IP address), which must be entered manually.
Carry out the following steps to check that the computer’s Ethernet port is correctly
configured for DHCP.
