  • ONU MAC address
  • Default IP address of the home gateway router (needed at initial turn-up)
  • Default login credentials (User Name/Password)

Getting Started

To turn up network services on the 812G GigaHub, two options are available:

  1. Connect an active optical fi ber to the 812G GigaHub’s bulkhead fi tting, power the unit on, and allow the network OLT (for example, a Calix E7) to discover the device as an unprovisioned ONT. At the OLT, the net-work administrator will provision the GigaHub and provide operational parameters remotely.
  2. With the fi ber disconnected, access the Smart Activate or Voice Activate application included with the 812G and then enter the Registration ID into the application. With the Registration ID having previously been entered at the OLT, once the fi ber is connected, the GigaHub will come up as a provisioned ONT based on the pre-provisioning that was completed for that Registration ID.

Home Gateway Settings

To turn up home gateway services on the 812G GigaHub, complete the following tasks:

  1. Connect your PC to any LAN Ethernet port on the GigaHub using a standard Ethernet cable.
  2. Open a browser and enter the IP address of the GigaHubs Embedded Web Interface (EWI): http://192.168.1.1.Calix-812G-GigaHub-8
  3. Enter the credentials provided on the label shipped inside the GigaHub box.
  4. Navigate to the Quick Start Menu and set-up the following:
  5. Choose how to connect to the Internet
  6. Set the local time zone (may be automatically set by network)

For more information about device provisioning from the EWI, refer to the GigaHub User’s Guide.
