Situating the EPON Multi-service Gateway ONT
The
ONT-2-E4xxxi Multi-service Residential Gateway Series
is designed to accommodate desktop, wall,
or tower mounting. If the unit is to be placed on a desktop or other flat surface, make sure that the
surface is stable. You should also ensure that you select a location which allows easy access to the rear
of the unit for wiring and testing purposes.
There must be an AC electrical outlet close by for the power adapter. This outlet should be dedicated for
the
EPON Multi-service Gateway ONT
. It is recommended to not have multiple
EPON Multi-service
Gateway ONTs
sharing the outlet by means of a power strip, because emergency voice services for
multiple users can be affected in the event of a power strip failure. Be sure that you only use the power
adapter included in the package.
The
ONT-2-E4xxxi Multi-service Residential Gateway Series
is designed for operation in a dry room
temperature indoor environment. Do not use it outdoors, or in a location with excessive heat or hu-
midity.

Wall-Mounting the ONT Using the Fiber Tray
The fiber storage tray is used for slack management of the optical fiber cable. The fiber tray can also be used
as a mounting bracket for the EPON Multi-service Gateway ONT for interior installations. After the field
technician mounts the fiber tray, the fiber tray cover is snapped in place. Then the EPON Multi-service
Gateway ONT can be snapped into the fiber tray any time when the service for the ONT is ready to be turned
on.
To wall-mount an EPON Multi-service Gateway ONT by installing the fiber tray, we recommend the fol-
lowing procedure:
1.
Ensure that the location of the EPON Multi-service Gateway ONT is within reach of a suitable AC
outlet. The power cord on the AC adapter is approximately 5 ft. (1.52 m) long.
2.
Select a flat, rigid mounting surface to wall-mount the fiber tray.
3.
Note the keyhole slots in the back of the fiber tray that are available for wall hanging. See Figure 6.
