Operation Safety Rules

High optical power is harmful to human body, especially to

eyes. Never look directly into the end face of pigtail fiber of
optical transmitter or the end face of its active connector.

Exercise care if you must bend fibers. If necessary, the fiber

bending radius should not be less than 38 mm.

Power supply sockets with too heavy load or broken cables

and plugs may cause electric shock or fire. Users should
check the power supply wires and cables regularly. If there is
any breakage, please replace the cable at once.

Please adopt the power supply adapter provided for this

equipment. Otherwise the equipment may be damaged or not
able to run normally.

The equipment should be installed at positions with good

ventilation conditions and without high temperature or direct
sunshine, so as to avoid faults of the equipment and its
corresponding components due to overheat.

For communication equipment, users should note to avoid

humidification, especially prevent water from entering the
equipment. Entering of water can cause abnormal running of
the equipment and even other dangers due to short circuit.

5)

The connection of optical fibers is finished.

Caution 1: if the optical fiber jumpers are not used, make sure
optical fiber jumpers and AN5506-04 optical interfaces are
covered to avoid dust contamination and water penetration,
which lead to the uselessness of optical fiber jumpers and
AN5506-04 optical interfaces.

3-5

AN5506-04 GPON Optical Network Unit User Manual

Caution 2: connect optical fibers at last if possible. Lay

optical fibers at the position without extrusion.

3.3.4

Connection of Power Cable

AN5506-04 allows two modes of power supply: AC power and USB
storage battery. Their connections are introduced below respectively.

AC Power Connection
1)

Take out the provided AC power adapter;

2)

Connect one end of the adapter to Power interface of AN5506-04;

3)

Connect the other end to mains supply socket, as shown in Figure

3-2;

4)

The connection of power cable is finished.

Note: This power adapter can convert 220V AC into 12V DC input for
AN5506-04 so as to supply power to the equipment.

USB Storage Battery Power Connection

USB storage battery power adapter integrates a DC storage battery which
serves as a standby power supply and enables the equipment to keep
running for 6 to 7 hours in the case of power failure. It lifts operational
reliability of the equipment. Follow these steps to connect the power
cable.
1)

Take out the provided USB storage battery power adapter;

2)

Connect one end of the adapter to USB power interface on

AN5506-04;

3)

Connect the other end to mains supply socket, as shown in Figure

3-3;

4)

Examination after Installation

After the connection of wires and cables is finished and relevant services
are started up by the operator, it needs to power on and examine
AN5506-04 as below:
1)

Switch on the power.

2)

Observe the status of Power indicator LED. If Power indicator LED

is ON, it means the power-on of equipment is normal; otherwise,
please check whether the connection of power cable is correct.

3)

If USB storage battery is adopted for power supply, subscribers

should observe the status of Battery indicator LED. If Battery
indictor LED is ON, it means the power cable of USB storage battery
is connected normally; otherwise, check whether the connection of
USB storage battery power cable is correct.

4)

Observe the status of LOS indicator LED. If LOS indicator LED is

OFF, it means the optical fiber connection is normal; otherwise,
please check whether the connection of optical fibers is correct.

5)

Observe the status of LAN indicator LED. If LAN indicator LED is

ON or blinks, it means the network cable is connected normally;
otherwise, please check whether the connection of network cable is
correct.

6)

Observe the status of Phone indicator LED. If before and after the
phone is picked up, Phone indicator LED turns OFF to ON, it means
the phone cable is connected normally; otherwise, please check
whether the connection of phone cable is correct.

7)

Ensure the ventilation around during equipment running to avoid

problems because of overheating. Check the running status of the
fan at any moment. For abnormity, contact the local office of
FiberHome for replacement, so as not to affect equipment running.

3-8

is normal and check whether there is direct sunshine or heat
source around.
Q: LOS indicator LED is ON.
A: 1) The optical fiber is faulty. Check whether the optical fiber is
connected normally and whether it is connected to correct interface;
2) The upstream equipment is faulty;
3) The optical power is out of the normal range (such as overload).
Q: Battery indicator LED blinks or turns OFF.
A:

1) If Battery indicator LED blinks, it means that the battery works

abnormally or the voltage is over low. Recharge it in time;

2) If Battery indicator LED turns OFF, check whether USB power

cable is connected normally;
3If Battery indicator LED turns OFF, check whether the storage
battery expires or has faults.
Q: LAN indicator LED is OFF.
A: 1) Check whether the network cable is damaged or its connection is
loose;
