Overview

The Calix 844G or 854G GigaCenter terminates passive optical network (PON) fiber at the

subscriber's premises and provides industry standard interfaces for the subscriber's

information, communication, and entertainment equipment. From single family residential

units or multi-dwelling units, to small business applications, Calix GigaCenters enable

subscriber to receive broadband data, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) telephone service,

digital RF video, and Internet protocol television (IPTV) over a single fiber.

The Calix 844G and 854G GigaCenters are next generation residential premises service

delivery platforms that extend the access network into the home and act as a strategic

location for control of the gigabit experience. Supporting broadband connectivity within the

home and managing subscriber voice, data and video services, this intelligent, high-

performance service platform integrates a 2.5 GPON optical interface with switching and

routing functions that manage premises network traffic at speeds up to 1 Gbps. The

GigaCenter service interfaces include: carrier class wireless networking with 802.11ac Wi-Fi

and four Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports for IPTV video and data services, two integrated voice

lines supporting carrier grade VoIP and network-based TDM voice circuits, a USB port for

home networking services, and an option for RF video.

Note:

For additional information on achieving carrier class wireless networking, refer to RG

Wi-Fi Best Practices Guide available on the Calix Resource Center.

854G-1 GigaCenter

Introduction

This document describes the installation of the following:



844G-1 GigaCenter, 2 POTS, 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, Dual Wi-Fi, 1 USB, UPS Power

Interface



844G-2 GigaCenter, 2 POTS, 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, Dual Wi-Fi, 1 USB, 12 VDC

Power Interface with On/Off switch



854G-1 GigaCenter, 2 POTS, 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, Dual Wi-Fi, 1 USB, 1 RF Video,

UPS Power Interface



854G-2 GigaCenter, 2 POTS, 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, Dual Wi-Fi, 1 USB, 1 RF Video,

12 VDC Power Interface with On/Off switch

There are three types of installation configurations:

1.

Vertical Table-top Configuration - A base stand is attached to the GigaCenter and placed

on any available flat surface. Incoming and outgoing connections are plug-and-play.

2.

Wall Mount Configuration - This enclosure-less configuration mounts the GigaCenter to

any available vertical surface using the mounting slots molded into the provided splice

tray. Incoming and outgoing connections are plug-and-play.

3.

Structured Wiring Enclosure (SWE) Configuration - Similar to the wall mount

configuration, the SWE Configuration mounts the unit to a SWE Enclosure using the

wall mount slots molded into the splice tray. Incoming and outgoing connections remain

plug-and-play.

Note:

In configuration #1 above, it is assumed that the incoming fiber connection has

been spliced into a Network Interface Device (NID) or a Local Convergence Point

(LCP) enclosure and terminated with an SC/APC fiber pigtail for attachment to the

GigaCenter.

Note:

In configuration #2 and #3 above, it is assumed that the incoming fiber drop has

been routed near the wall mount for SWE mount location and can be routed into the

splice tray as appropriate.

Powering Options

The 844G and 854G GigaCenter is available in any of two different powering options:



Attached to any 110 or 220 VAC power outlet using the supplied 12 VDC wall

transformer.



Attached to an indoor grounded or ungrounded Universal Power Supply (UPS)

providing life-line service in the event of a power failure. The UPS is connected to local

power using the provided molded power cord.

Note:

Power cord configurations must be appropriate for use in the country where the

GigaCenter is being deployed.

Note:

Only Calix provided and approved power cords or voltage adapters should be

used to connect the 854G/855G GigaCenter.

Mounting Options

700GE or 800GE devices can be mounted in a variety of different environments:



Vertical Wall Mount



Horizontal Wall Mount



Vertical Tabletop Mount



Structured Wiring Enclosure (SWE) - Not Shown
