Overview

The FTU2000 is a Fiber Termination Unit (FTU) which can deliver Fiber
to the Home (FTTH) network services such as data, voice and video to
home users. The FTU2000 provides cable television (CATV) service to
subscribers. Simply connect the FTU2000 to the CATV fiber outlet in
your home. To watch CATV channels, use a coaxial cable to connect the
FTU2000 to the television set as shown in the following figure.

The FTU2000 works in tandem with the FSG2200HNU Integrated
Access Device (IAD), which combines high-speed Internet access, a
built-in switch, a firewall and high-speed wireless networking capability.
The FSG2200HNU also has two USB 2.0 port for sharing files via a USB
compatible storage device and two phone ports for making calls over the
Internet (Voice over IP or VoIP).

Hardware Connections

1. To set up your Internet connection, choose:

a. FIBER (CATV): Use a fiber cable to connect this port to the CATV

fiber outlet; OR

b. FIBER (DATA): If you have an FSG2200, follow the steps in

Connecting to a FSG2200HNU. The FTU2000 enables the

FSG2200HNU to connect to a fiber network resulting in faster data
transfer rates.

2. CATV: Use a coaxial cable to connect this port to your television.

3. POWER: Use the power adaptor provided to connect an appropriate

power source to this socket. The LED light turns green once the
FTU2000 is ready.

If you are using both FTU2000 and FSG2200HNU, the power coming
from the FSG2200HNU is enough for both devices and there is no need
to connect the FTU2000 to a power source. In this setup, the CATV
service is not available when the FSG2200HNU is turned off.

4. Verify that the hardware setup is working by turning on your
television. You should be able to watch the CATV channels indicated
in your subscriber plan.

Contact your CATV provider if you cannot access the cable channels.

Connecting to a FSG2200HNU

If you have subscribed to both CATV and fiber-based Internet services
but have only one fiber outlet at home, you can use the FTU2000 to
bridge the fiber port to the FSG2200HNU. Follow these steps to connect
the FTU2000 to the FSG2200HNU.

Before proceeding, the fiber cables (CATV and data) should be
connected to the FTU2000 and properly coiled within the casing. Refer
to Coiling the Fiber Cables for instructions.

1. The FTU2000 has a nodule on the top panel that serves as an
opening for the fiber cable going to the FSG2200HNU. Remove the
screw holding the cover in place.

2. On the bottom panel of the FSG2200HNU, lift off the cover of the fiber
port. Connect the fiber cable (data) coming from the FTU2000 to this
port.

3. Place the FSG2200HNU on top of the FTU2000, such that the nodule

of the FTU2000 goes into the hollow for the fiber port of the
FSG2200HNU, as shown below:

Slide the FSG2200HNU to your right so that the two devices are
connected and locked in snugly.
