i3822V (outside unit)

iPSU (power supply unit)
The HomePortal® iNID (intelligent Network Interface Device) system includes three components: the i3822V (outside unit), the iPSU (power supply unit), and the i38HG (inside unit). These components depend on each other and do not have standalone functions. These components provide triple-play service (voice, data, and video) to the subscriber’s home.
6 Chapter 1 Introduction
i3822V (outside unit)
The i3822V is the gateway that acts as the network interface device. It is installed by the service provider technician on the outside of the home. The i3822V includes a broadband interface and high-speed coaxial and phone line network capabilities to deliver data service to the home. The i3822V has two accessible areas, one for service provider personnel and the othe r for sub scr ibe rs .

Subscriber access

The subscriber area is accessible by the homeowner. This panel displays indicators that show the operational status of the i3822V. Some indicators on the i3822V have the same functions as the indicators on the i38HG (inside unit). The subscriber area is fastened with a screw that can be unfastened with any flat-blade screwdriver. To prevent any unauthorized access, the subscriber area can be locked with any common household locking devices (such as a padlock or a combination lock).

Note: Call your service provider if any i3822V indicators signify failures. Do not attempt to repair the i3822V. The unit must be serviced by your service provider.

Right entry
The service provider Telco access area is locked. Service provider personnel can access this area by removing the Telco access cover. The i3822V has two cable entries to provide wiring from the service provider and to inside the home. The left entry provides the VDSL cable connection from the service provider to the i3822V. The right entry provides a coaxial wiring connector that feeds the inside of the home and a power connection for the power supply unit. It also provides conn ection access to the customer premises phone wiring.

iPSU (power supply unit)

The Power Supply Unit (iPSU) supplies power to the i3822V and is installed by the service provider. Unlike the i3822V, the iPSU must be installed in a sheltered area, either inside the garage or home. If the iPSU is equippe d with a backup battery, during a temporary AC power outage, the power source is switched to the battery without any interruption to subscribed services. When the AC power is restored, the power source is switched back to the AC power supply. The switchover between the AC power supply and the battery is automatic and without interruption of service.
8 Chapter 1 Introduction
The iPSU itself requires no regular maintenance; however, the battery inside the iPSU
POWER

requires periodic replacement. See “Replacing the battery” on page 35 for instructions to replace the backup battery.
Note: The battery provides power for voice services during a power outage. Subscribers are responsible for monitoring and replacing the battery when needed. The service provider does not monitor the battery and is not responsible for its replacement.

i38HG (inside unit)

The i38HG is the unit that goes inside the subscriber’s home and can be installed by the subscriber or by the service provider . W orking together with the i3822V, the i38HG is a home networking hub that provides an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi access point and Ethernet switch functions for connecting person al co mp u te rs an d ot he r in- ho m e ne tw or ke d devices to the service provider’s network. The i38HG has four Ethernet ports for directly connecting computers or devices.
The i38HG includes an integrated wireless access point to provide wireless connectivity throughout the home or of fice. High-powered wireless technology virtually eliminates wireless “coldspots” in the home. The i38HG high-power 400mW transmitter ensures that you benefit from increased wireless bandwid th throughout the coverage area. In addition, the i38HG employs a special triple antenna design. The third antenna is used only for transmitting packets, thus mitigating the power loss associated with switching the antenna use back and forth between transmit and receive. This results in greater access point sensitivity, as antenna placement can be better optimized with a dedicated set of receive-only antennas.
To expand the wireless coverage in a home or add additional Ethernet ports in different locations in the home, you can connect multiple i38HG devices to dif ferent in­home phone jacks. Each i38HG is automatically configured to operate on the same wireless network, and the devices can be centrally configured and managed at http://gateway.2wire.net.

Connecting network cables

The i3822V can accommodate up to two pairs of inside wiring per line. If the subscriber requires more than two lines (any combination of VoIP or PSTN), the lines must be bridged between a normal Network Interface Device (NID) and the i3822V’s connectors. If the home runs are on the outside of the home, terminate them before connecting to the i3822V.
Note: The bridging procedures are outside the scope of this document.
The VDSL area is protected with a cover to prevent subscriber access. There are two pairs of binding posts for att aching the i3822V to two sep arate pairs of Cat 3 telephone wiring from the network that carry PSTN and VDSL2. The connection to the second pair is required to enable a second PSTN line and VDSL pair bond ing (when available).
Note: The VDSL area is accessible only to the telco pe rs on n el.

1. Unfasten the screw that secures the Telco access cover with a 5/32” t amper -pro of hex screwdriver (booth wrench).
2. Cut two openings on the left grommet entry for the network cable and the 10 AWG ground wire to fit through.
Note: Use an appropriate tool to cut or punch through the grommet. Make th e cuts just large enough for the cables to fit through. The grommet pad prevents insects from entering the inside of the unit. Make sure to seal any extra gaps on the cuts using the approved sealant that complies to your local requirements.
WARNING: You must permanently connect the ground lug to an app rove d Telephone
Ground. (Refer to the appropriate local installation practice).
3. Insert the 10 AWG ground wire through one of the openings of the grommet entry and connect it to the ground lug in the lower left portion of the i3822V.

5. Make sure that the red and green wires installed in the top r ound holes on each station protector are firmly seated in the slots along the top of th e ho les . Th is prevents them from dislodging when th e nut on the top of the station protector is loosened.
6. Use a 3/8” hex or flat blade screwdriver to loosen one of the station protectors by turning it counter-clockwise to a full upright position.

Note: Do not remove the protective gel-f illed insulation around the holes; it act s as a moisture barrier and prevents unwanted small particles from having direct contact with the wires.
7. Insert approximately 1-1/2 inches of the un-stripped color-coded wire pair of the VDSL lines from the network provider through the corresponding color-coded holes of the station protectors, green to tip and red to ring.
Note: You may feel an initial resistance when inserting the wires into the protector. Do not stop there. If you do, the connectors might close on the insulation, but no contacts are made. Make sure that the inserted wire ends are straight and have no curls on them. If the wires are bent upward or curled when inserted, they will not make proper contact. This may result in the wires passing the pull test even though there is no connection.
8. Peek through the side of the station protector and make sure that the wires have pierced the gel-filled insulation and that contacts are made.
9. Hold the two wires in place; use a 3/8” hex or flat blade screwdriver and turn clockwise to tighten the station protector.
10. Tug gently at the inserted wires to make sure that they are securely seated.

Connecting power supply wires

This section provides instructions for connecting the power supply wires to the i3822V. The power supply connector on the i3822V and the iPSU are colored with the same
polarity: red is positive and black is negative. If the phone cable that you are using does not have red and black wires, make note of the color coding on the wires connected to the red and black holes in the i3822V power connector. The same color wire connected to the red hole in the i3822V power connector must be connected to the red terminal in the iPSU, and the same color wire connected to the black hole in the i3822V power connector must be connected to the black terminal in the iPSU.
The cable connecting the iPSU and the i3822V must be a dedica ted pa ir and must no t appear at any phone jacks in the home. Run a new cable between the iPSU and the i3822V if no dedicated pair is available. The cable must be 24 AWG and can be a maximum of 100 feet long. The power pair must not have any impairments such as shorts to ground.
Note: Do not use a wire thinner than 24 AWG; it compromises the maximum wiring length and the battery backup duration.
Chapter 2 Installing the i3822V (Outside Unit) 17
CAUTION: When connected, the i3822V receives power from the iPSU. Make sure
Power connector
that the AC power adapter and the battery on the iPSU are not connected, or an electrical shock may result.
To connect power supply lines:
1. Cut an opening on the right grommet entry for the power supply line to fit through.
Note: Use an appropriate tool to cut or punch through the grommet. Make the cut just big enough for the line to fit through. The grommet prevents insects from entering the inside of the unit. Make sure to seal any extra gaps on the cuts.
2. Insert the power supply line through the opening of the grommet entry.
Note: Do not remove the protective gel-f illed insulation around the holes; it act s as a moisture barrier and prevents unwanted small particles from having direct contact with the wires.
3. Lift up the POWER connector plastic rocker tab to expose the color-coded holes on the right side of the unit.
4. Insert the un-stripped color-coded power supply wire pair as far as it can go into each hole that matches the wire color: red is positive and black is negative.
You may feel an initial resistance when inserting the wires into the connector. Do not stop there. If you do, the connectors might close on the insulation, but no contacts are made.
Make sure that the wires have pierced the gel-filled insulation and that the inserted wire ends are straight and have no curls on them. If the wires are bent upward or curled when inserted, they will not make proper contact. This may result in the wires passing the pull test even though there is no connection.
Note: The power supply insulation-displacement connector (IDC) on the i3822V and the iPSU are colored with the same polarity. Make sure to maintain polarity: red is positive, black is negative. If wires are reversed, the i3822V will not power up.

Connecting the coaxial cable

To connect the coaxial cable to the i3822V:
1. Cut an opening on the right grommet entry for the coaxial cable to fit through.
Note: Use an appropriate tool to cut or punch through the grommet. Make the cut just big enough for the cable to fit through. The grommet prevents insects from entering the inside of the unit. Seal any extra gaps on the cuts.
2. Insert the cable through the opening on the grommet entry.

unit.
4. Tighten the coaxial cable with a torque wrench.
5. Connect the other end of the cable from the i3822V to the IN port of the coaxial splitter.
Note: The COAX connector is very sensitive to loose or improperly terminated connectors; tighten it with a torque wrench at a minimum 15 in-lb but do not exceed 20 in-lb.

Connecting the insulation-displacement connectors

The subscriber part of the network access area has two customer bridge modules, each with a pair of insulation-displacement connectors (IDCs). Each bridge module supports a separate line and can connect to up to two inside wire pairs.
Each IDC is connected as a separate phone line consisting of two wires. Line 1 (green/red) is used for HPNA over twisted pair for data distribution and voice traffic (PSTN or VoIP) inside the home. Line 2 (black/yellow) is used for voice traffic (PSTN or VoIP).
1. Cut an opening on the right grommet entry for the PSTN lines to fit through.
Note: Use an appropriate tool to cut or punch through the grommet. Make the cut just big enough for the cable to fit through. The grommet prevents insects from entering the inside of the unit. Seal any extra gaps on the cuts.
