Brief Overview
The 804Mesh offers the following key features:
Extremely User-Friendly Installation - The subscriber pairs the 804Mesh to the GigaCenter or GigaHub by initiating the WPS feature on both devices at the same time.
The GigaCenter (or Gigahub) and 804Mesh begin the pairing process and once complete, discovery, confi guration, and synchronization steps are completed automatically.
Wi-Fi Backhaul Signal Strength - The 804Mesh has a signal strength bar (Wi-Fi
Backhaul LED) to indicate the relative 5 GHz backhaul signal associated with that
particular 804Mesh device.
Note: When deploying the 804Mesh device, avoid placing the 804Mesh too close
to the host GigaCenter or GigaHub. If the signal strength indicator has 3 Green bars
illuminated with 1 Red bar, it means the 804Mesh is too close to the GigaCenter/
GigaHub. Calix recommends placing the 804Mesh at a distance such that 2 or 3 green
LEDs are lit.
Lastly, if only the 1st signal bar fl ashes, it indicates the 804Mesh is too far from the
GigaCenter/GigaHub and the performance may be less than expected.
For advanced user, the 804Mesh can be confi gured as an Ethernet Wireless Access
Point (WAP) with an Ethernet cable (not provided) connected between a GigaCenter/
GigaHub and the 804Mesh. While using Ethernet WAP use case, the Wi-Fi Backhaul
LED will not be lit indicating the 804Mesh is under Ethernet WAP control.

Mounting the 804Mesh
The 804Mesh can be placed in one of two confi gurations:
1. Placed on a tabletop or shelf in an upright orientation.
2. The 804Mesh also supports wall or ceiling mount using the optional mounting
bracket (ordered separately).
Powering the 804Mesh
To power the equipment:
1. Remove any protective packaging or fi lms prior to powering up the 804Mesh.
2. Plug in the power adapter to an available wall socket and attach the other end to
the 804Mesh’s power port. Note the power cord is 5 feet (1.5 meters) long.

804Mesh Management
The 804Mesh can be managed via a Calix Cloud/Consumer Connect Plus application.
With this interface, service providers or subscriber’s can view statistical information
and/or troubleshoot various service delivery problems. The 804Mesh is part of the
entire GigaFamily eco-system.
Home Gateway Settings
To complete the network connection, two options are available:
1. The 804Mesh is connected to the upstream GigaCenter via the WPS functionality
built into both products. When initially powered up, the 804Mesh associates with
the GigaCenter.
2. The 804Mesh is hard-wired to the upstream GigaCenter. Once the Ethernet
cable is connected, the 804Mesh automatically learns the network topography.

About Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
Backhaul signal strength can be monitored via the bank of LED’s located on the top
of the 804Mesh. This four LED array provides information as to the relative signal
strength of each 804Mesh in the network. The following table displays possible LED
states as it pertains to RSSI.
LED Display Description Comment
RSSI>= -50 dBm

The 804Mesh is too close to the
host device (GigaCenter/GigaHub).
Distance between the 804Mesh
and the GigaCenter/GigaHub is not
optimal. Consider moving the two
devices farther apart.
Calix recommended RSSI indication.
The distance between the
804Mesh and the host device
(GigaCenter/GigaHub) provides
adequate results.
The distance between the
804Mesh and the GigaCenter/
GigaHub exceeds the preferred
distance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I reset the device without having to unplug the unit?
A: If the RESET button is depressed for less than 5 seconds, it resets the unit using
the current confi guration settings.
Q: How do I reset the device back to factory settings?
A: Pressing the RESET button on the back of the unit for at least 5 seconds, or
access the “Restore Defaults” reset button located in the “Utilities” section of the
Embedded Web Interface.

Q: What if the User Name or login keys are forgotten?
A: Press the reset button of the 804Mesh for at least fi ve seconds.
Q: What mounting options are available for installing the 804Mesh?
A: The 804 Mesh has an optional mounting bracket for ceiling or wall mounting. It can
also be installed on a desktop or shelf without additional hardware.
Q: What is the difference of “Ethernet-WAP mode” vs “Wi-Fi backhaul mode” of the
804Mesh?
A: In Ethernet-WAP mode, the 5 GHz Wi-Fi bandwidth is shared with all client devices
and employs an Ethernet cable to support backhaul traffi c.
In the Wi-Fi backhaul mode, the 5 GHz Wi-Fi bandwidth is shared with the backhaul
traffi c on all client devices.
Q: Who do I contact for service and support?
A: Contact your service provider.

Power Supply
• Ensure that a suitable AC power outlet is situated near the 804Mesh and easily
accessible.
• Connect the power supply cord only to the AC power outlet that meets the specifi cations marked next to the appliance AC power inlet on the 804Mesh.
• Never alter the AC power cord. If necessary have the correct outlet installed by a
qualifi ed electrician or call your service provider for assistance.
• To reduce the risk of damage to the electric cord, remove it from the outlet by
holding onto the AC power adapter rather than the cord. Make sure the cord is
positioned so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
WARNING! Do not use any other power adapter except the one that
accompanies this unit or a power supply identifi ed in the list below. Use
of another adapter could result in damage to the unit. To prevent electrical shock, please do not open the cover. The following power adapter
is qualfi ed for use with this 804Mesh.
