INSTALLING THE GATEWAY (cont.)
Connecng to the LAN
Using an Ethernet LAN cable, you can connect the gateway to a desktop computer,
notebook, hub, or switch. The gateway supports auto-MDI/MDIX, so you can use either
a standard straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the four LAN ports on the rear panel
of the gateway.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer’s network-interface card (NIC)
or to another network device.
Connecng the WAN
To connect the gateway to a Wide Area Network (WAN) interface:
• Connect the SC/APC connector of a single-mode bre opc cable to the opcal
terminal in the your home or oce (it could also be a splier or a PIM card of an
OLT), and connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled PON on the rear
panel of the gateway (see page 12). Use only manufactured bre opcal cables with
SC/APC connectors at both ends for all connecons.
