What have I received? And why?
You have opted to take part in the Calix GigaSpire Employee Pilot Program. Depending on the answers that you provided on the
intake questionnaire, you will receive one (1) or two (2) GigaSpire BLAST u6 systems.
Note: If you have an existing GigaSpire BLAST system in your home, onboarding a new BLAST u6 as your gateway will reset your Wi-Fi network name
(SSID) to ‘Calix GigaSpire WiFi’. You will also lose customized configurations in CommandIQ, like Enhanced Parental Control profiles. These items can
be adjusted with CommandIQ when your BLAST u6 system is up and running.
How do I get started?
The following slides provide quick-start instructions to get you up and running. Please keep in mind, your experience is not the
same as a typical subscriber, whose GigaSpire BLAST system would be connected to a service provider network that has the back-
office integration to initially provide the management settings needed to fully setup the GigaSpire and all of its features. Instead,
you will be connecting your GigaSpire BLAST system to your existing service provider's gateway. This is referred to as an 'OFF-NET'
model and is not typical. Your experience will otherwise be identical to that of a typical residential subscriber of high-speed
Internet services.
