1.1 Overview
The PMG5317-T20A combines a fiber optic (GPON) router with a built-in switch to provide you local
fiber-speed internet access. The GPON Device supports OMCI to connect to the ISP's OLT (Optical
Line Terminal), and it can also be remotely managed using TR-069. QoS is also supported to make
sure bandwidth-hungry applications such as games and Video-on-Demand (VoD) get the bandwidth
they need. Its voice over IP (VoIP) capabilities allow you to use a traditional analog telephone to
make phone calls over the Internet. Also, it contains a USB port for easy file sharing among local
network users.
1.2 Managing the GPON Device
Use the GPON Device's built-in Web Configurator to manage it. You can connect to it using a web
browser. For details on connecting to it, see the
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the GPON Device
Do the following things regularly to make the GPON Device more secure and to manage the GPON
Device more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that's not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the GPON Device to its factory default settings. If
you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the GPON
Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.
