Calix PSE options include a PoE injector (100-06005) and a PoE++ switch (100-05774). Note: The Calix PoE switch option (GPR8802x) is also an ONT, so separate switch and ONT equipment is not required when using a GPR8802x for PoE power supply.
Mounting Options Calix provides a wall/ceiling mount bracket in the giftbox of the GigaPro p4. The bracket does not require any fasteners to physically pair the p4 with the bracket. However, fasteners are not provided when attaching the bracket to a wall or finished ceiling.
(up to 328 feet/100 m long). If the system will use PoE power, connect to a PoE injector's PD port instead. Note: Calix recommends connecting the p4 system to an ONT equipped with a 2.5GE LAN port to provide maximum uplink bandwidth. Typically, this means using an XGS-PON ONT (many equipped with 2.5GE LAN ports) or 10GE AE ONT.
Ethernet cables). For wireless connections, the maximum distance from the RG may vary from site to site based on environmental factors that affect signal strength. As a general rule of thumb, Calix recommends locating satellites at a distance where they can receive a signal of -60 dBm or better.
Installing the System on a Wall or SWE Use the Calix wall/ceiling mount bracket to install the GigaPro p4 system on a wall/SWE or other flat surface. Installing the bracket involves first attaching the bracket to a wall or ceiling, then mounting the p4 system onto the bracket.

2. Dress and secure the cable(s) using cable ties or velcro straps. *Note: Before proceeding, Calix recommends verifying that the p4 system powers up properly and comes into service as expected. Continue to the next chapter "Final Setup and Activation (on page 29)"...
After you have installed cables, the GigaPro™ p4 system is ready to power up and connect to the network. Use one of the following procedures to apply power to the system. If you installed a Calix power adapter cable* to use a local AC power supply, follow the first procedure below.

Verify that the system LED shows expected 'in service' status. Refer to System LED Behavior (on page 34) for expected behavior. Verify with your back office that the system checked in to Calix Cloud as needed. Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.
The unit must be powered by a listed power adapter or DC power source marked "LPS" (Limited Power Source) and rated output between 12 VDC, 1.5 A minimum, TMA = 40° Celsius minimum. If additional help is needed on implementing a power supply, please contact your local Calix service professional.
