PSE and the PD. Ground the ESP to ensure proper safety, equipment protection, and performance. Mounting Options Calix provides a wall/pole mount bracket in the giftbox of the GigaPro p6dx. In either case, the installation steps are almost identical save for the medium the p6dx attaches to. Installation Considerations Review the following considerations and guidelines before starting installation activities.

Note: Calix recommends connecting the p6dx 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. For example, the Calix GP4200A outdoor ONT is commonly used for this application.

Ethernet cable described above apply here. If the ONT's LAN Ethernet port providing the link is PoE powered (for example, from a Calix GP4200A ONT's 2.5GE port), the maximum distance must be 328 feet / 100 meters. If using a PoE injector, that distance can be up to twice as far.

Installing the System on a Wall/Pole Use the Calix wall/pole mount bracket to install the GigaPro p6dx system on a wall or pole, or other vertical flat surface. Installing the mounting brackets involves first attaching the front bracket to the p6dx and then attaching the wall mount bracket to the front bracket.

If the ground is interrupted or disturbed in any way, an unsafe condition will exist. Calix best practice Calix requires use of an earth ground circuit (earth electrode) at the installation site to provide protection from electric shock for equipment and personnel. The ground circuit may consist of a simple copper rod driven into the earth or a complex system of buried rods and wires.

Installing Power and Network Cables After mounting the GigaPro p6dx system on a wall or pole, and after establishing a ground connection for the system, you must connect power and/or network cables to the system before completing the installation. The type and count of cables to install for the p6dx system may vary from site to site depending on several factors, including the powering option selected and the operating mode of the Wi-Fi AP.

2. Dress and secure the cable(s) using cable ties or velcro straps. *Note: Before proceeding, Calix recommends verifying that the p6dx system powers up properly and comes into service as expected. Continue to the next chapter "Final Setup and Activation" to perform these tasks before completing the installation.
