ONU-6040B-2x Series User’s Guide

Introduction

The ONU-6040B-2x is an optical network unit (ONU) that
allows you to enjoy high-speed Internet access over optical
networks. The ONU-6040B-2x comes with one fiber and four
10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports. No configuration is required. On
the ONU-6040B-2x, all device configuration is done remotely
by the OLT (Optical Line Terminal). Once you have connected
the hardware, you are ready to enjoy Internet access.

Two ONU-6040B-2x models are discussed in this guide:
ONU-6040B-21 (with a 10km transceiver) and ONU-6040B-22
(with a 20km transceiver).

2 Test Your Internet Connection

After you have connected the hardware and turned on the
ONU-6040B-2x, open a web browser on your computer and
go to any web site (for example, www.zyxel.com) to test your
Internet connection.

3 Hardware Installation

The ONU-6040B-2x can be placed on a desktop or mounted
on a wall.

3.1 Desktop Instructions

Place the ONU-6040B-2x on a flat, level surface that is strong
enough to support the weight of the ONU-6040B-2x with
connection cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.

3.2 Wall-mounting Instructions

Complete the following steps to hang your ONU-6040B-2x on
a wall.

1 Select a position free of obstructions on a sturdy wall.

5

ONU-6040B-2x Series User’s Guide

2 Drill two holes large enough for the M4 tap screws. Make

sure the distance between the centers of the holes is
108mm.

"Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables

located inside the wall when drilling holes for the
screws.

3 Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a

small gap of about 0.5 cm between the heads of the
screws and the wall.

4 Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall.

They need to hold the weight of the ONU-6040B-2x with
the connection cables.

5 Align the holes on the back of the ONU-6040B-2x with the

screws on the wall. Hang the ONU-6040B-2x on the
screws.

Troubleshooting

1 The POWER light is not on when I connect power to the

ONU-6040B-2x.

• Check that the power source is turned on.

• You might be using the wrong power adaptor. Use the
included power adaptor only.

• If you are using the correct power adaptor, disconnect
and re-connect the power adaptor to turn on the ONU­6040B-2x again.

•If the POWER light is still not on, use a different power
outlet.

7

ONU-6040B-2x Series User’s Guide

• If the problem continues, contact your local vendor.

2 The PON light is off.

• Check the connector on the optical cable and the PON
port. Make sure they are clean and dust-free. Use an
air duster to clean the connectors. Do NOT use a wet
cloth to clean the connectors.

• Check the optical cable. Make sure it is not broken. If
the cable is broken, contact your service provider to
have the cable/connector replaced. Do NOT attempt to
replace the optical cable/connector yourself.

3 I cannot connect to the Internet.

• Check the port connections and the lights.

• There might be problems with the optical network set­ting. Contact your service provider.
