Safety
NOTE: A special note that high lights information important to the successful
completion of a procedure.
BEST PRACTICE: A Best Practice note strongly encourages the user to follow a
given procedure to avoid service interruptions or damage to the product.
This document follows the Turnup and Verification Manuals. The edgeGEAR™ 2000 and
edge 200 chassis must be provisioned before the ONUs.
ONU Provisioning
The Optical Network Unit (ONU) delivers voice, high-speed data, DS1, and video
services to customers. The ONUs for fiber-to-the-business (FTTB) applications are
bizGEAR 200 and bizGEAR Ultra. The ONU for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) application is
home 4000. The ONU for multi-tenant dwellings is mduGEAR 224. The Xgen 7000 ONU
supports Data & Voice services to residences on telephone lines. The aceGEAR is
designed to bring data, video and voice services to businesses, apartment complexes,
malls, and high rises.

GigaVu™ Overview
A GigaVu™ workstation is required for ONU provisioning. The workstation is used to
configure the ONUs and bizGEAR 200’s optional plug-in modules. Plug a workstation
into the RJ45 Management port, activate the GigaVu™ application, and log in. A direct
connection between the workstation and Management port requires a Category 5 Cross-
over cable. You will need the chassis System IP Address and a GigaVu™ login to proceed.
See the edgeGEAR 2000 Turnup and Verification Manual.
When you login to the GigaVu™ system, the Home window is presented. The Home
window is the initial entry point to the system and contains the main navigation tabs.
These tabs are accessible from any window as you navigate through the functions. You
select a path to a function with a single click on its tab. Each subsequent window presents
additional tabs for the navigation options available to you.

Adding an ONU
To add an ONU to an edgeGEAR 2000 or edge 200 PON port, perform the following:
1. From the Alloptic home window, click on System Provisioning.
2. Click on the ONU Configuration tab.
• The ONU Module Configuration window is displayed.
3. Select the assigned PON ID.
4. Select the assigned ONU Index.
5. Enter the Serial Number of the ONU to be added to the system. The field is case
sensitive.
6. Enter the MAC Address of the ONU to be added.
7. Select the Hardware Type from the drop down menu. If you install a different type
from what is provisioned, the ONU will go into alarm.
8. If using Auto-Range, select the Auto-Range button.
• If not, select Manual, and enter the ONU Range in meters.
If in the ONU Configuration List view, press the Add button to add the new ONU to the
system.
• Then select the ONU ID to enter the graphical view, and enable the ONU or make
further configuration changes.
In the ONU Configuration graphical view, continue entering the following:
9. Enter the ONU address or location.
10. Select Configuration Mode from the drop-down list.
• Priority Within Users or Priority Between Users.
11. Enter Rx Power Lower Limit in dBm.
12. Press Add to add the new ONU to the system.
• The ONU Configuration window for the selected Hardware Type is displayed.
• All fields of entry are the same for each Hardware Type; only the ports and slots
available for provisioning differ.
The following pages describe how to configure each specific hardware type in turn.

Delete an ONU
This procedure contains the tasks required to remove an ONU from the system. To prevent
alarms, perform the delete procedure before physically removing the ONU. Once the
ONU equipment has been removed, the configuration changes must be saved to flash
memory. When deleting an ONU, certain conditions must be met.
• No active cross connects can be present on the ONU.
• No active users can be configured on the ONU.
• ONU Ethernet/DS1/Voice Ports must be disabled.
To delete an Alloptic ONU, proceed as follows.
1. From the Alloptic home window, click on System Provisioning.
2. Click on ONU Configuration.
• The ONU Configuration window is displayed.
3. Select the assigned PON ID.
4. Select the assigned ONU Index.
5. Press the Delete button.
• The ONU Module is removed from service.
• The ONU Configuration ADD window is displayed.
6. Save the new configuration.
After you have confirmed that the transmit (TX) light is red, you may physically remove
the ONU without causing a system alarm.

4 Tagged Ethernet VLAN Tag Stacking allows the service Priority Yes
Traffic with TLS provider to offer VLAN Transparency Between Users
between enterprise and service provider
networks.
When you configured ONUs in Chapter 2, you assigned them Configuration Modes of
either Priority Within Users (the default) or Priority Between Users.
To use options 2 or 3 listed above, configure the ONU with a Configuration Mode of
Priority Between Users. To use options 3 or 4, you must also enable VLAN Trunking
when configuring the ONU Ethernet Interface. With VLAN Trunking, up to 48 VLANs
can be defined per ONU.
Following is a checklist of interface configuration data you must obtain, and the location
of the windows you will use, for entering configuration data. Follow the procedures in the
order presented.
NOTE: The ONU must be configured with the VLAN prioritization of Priority
Between Users for TLS to be provisioned.

The Point-to-Point cross connect is used to provide point-to-point service between ONUs.
It allows subscribers to set up private line networks between PBX switches and Off
Premises stations. This cross connect supports the following arrangements:
• bizGEAR ONU to bizGEAR ONU connection
• home ONU to bizGEAR ONU connection
• home ONU to home ONU connection

Specifies the number of times the system sends an initial Join message
via the network ports separated by a time interval as specified by the
Periodic Join Interval. Since IGMP messages are unreliable UDP (User
Initial Join Count

multiple times helps ensure the multicast router will receive the request.
