Getting started with your BDCOM GPON OLT:

• Connect your Management PC to the CLI port of the OLT using a Serial connector, alternatively, a USB-to-Serial connector also works
• To get into the CLI interface of the OLT – use an application like PuTTY or Teraterm
• Select the Serial interface and ensure that the COM port number is the same as assigned by your management PC.
• Once the CLI interface opens, press enter. You will be prompted to enter the Username and Password.
• The default username and password of the BDCOM GPON OLT is admin and admin.

To set a VLAN and IP address:

• You will see a CLI entry starting with Switch>. Type ‘enable’ and press enter.
• To confirm that your command was successful, another CLI entry will appear starting with ‘Switch#’. Now we are ready to enter config mode.
• Type the command ‘config’ and press enter.  The new CLI field should read ‘Switch config#’
• Type the command ‘interface vlan1’ and press enter. The new CLI field should read ‘Switch_config_v1#’. This means that you are now inside of vlan1 and ready to configure it.
• Type the command ‘ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0’ and press enter.  We used 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0 as our default IP address and subnet mask – you can change this information based on your network range
• Type the command ‘no shutdown’ and press enter
• Type the command ‘exit’ and press enter
• Type the command ‘exit’ and press enter
• The CLI should start with ‘Switch#’. This means that we are at the main level again.
• Now that we have configured vlan1 and given it an IP address, save the configuration by typing ‘write all’. The OLT will take a while to save all our new configurations. Wait until the last log entry reads ‘successfully wrote’ before proceeding to a new command. 

To activate a Gigabit Ethernet port of the OLT:

• Type the command ‘config’ and press enter.  The CLI field should read ‘switch config#’
• Type the command ‘interface gigaEthernet 0/1’ and press enter – this will activate the Gigabit Ethernet port 0/1 of the OLT device.
• The new CLI entry should display as ‘Switch_config_g0/1#’.
• Type the command ‘no shutdown’ and press enter. Wait until the last log entry reads ‘changed state to up’ before proceeding to another command.
• Type the command ‘exit’ and press enter
• Type the command ‘exit’ and press enter
• Now that we have enabled gigaEthernet 0/1, type the command ‘write all’ and press enter to save the configuration. Wait until the last log entry reads ‘successfully wrote’ before proceeding to a new command. 

To activate a PON port on the OLT:

• Type the command ‘config’ and press enter.  The CLI field should read ‘Switch_config#’
• Type the command ‘interface gPON 0/1’ and press enter.  The new CLI entry will display as ‘Switch_config_gpon0/1#’.
• Type the command ‘no shutdown’ and press enter
• Type the command ‘exit’ and press enter
• Type the command ‘exit’ and press enter
• Type the command ‘write all’ and press enter. Wait until the last log entry reads ‘successfully wrote’ before proceeding to a new command. 

(OPTIONAL) To activate all PON ports on the OLT:

If you would like to enable all the PON ports on the OLT, instead of enabling them one by one, follow the below commands:

• Type the command ‘config’ and press enter.  The CLI field should read ‘switch_config#’
• For a 4-port OLT, type the command ‘interface range gPON 0/1-4’ and press enter.  The new CLI entry will display as ‘Switch_config_if_range#’.
• For an 8-port OLT, type the command ‘interface range gPON 0/1-8’ and press enter.  The new CLI entry will display as ‘Switch_config_if_range#’.
• If you have an 8-port OLT but would only like to enable certain ports, for example, 5 x PON ports, type the command ‘interface range gPON 0/1-5’ and press enter.  The new CLI entry will display as ‘Switch_config_if_range#’.
• Type the command ‘no shutdown’ and press enter
• Type the command ‘exit’ and press enter
• Type the command ‘exit’ and press enter
• Type the command ‘write all’ and press enter. Wait until the last log entry reads ‘successfully wrote’ before proceeding to a new command.

To connect to the Web Graphical User Interface of the OLT:

• Connect a LAN cable from your management PC to the activated Gigabit Ethernet port of the OLT.
• Ensure that your management PC is on the same IP address range and subnet mask as the OLT.
• Open the Command Prompt to do a ping test to the OLT device to establish communication.  Type the command ‘ping 192.168.1.1’ and press enter.
• Wait for the response of your ping test.  For successful communication between the Management PC and the OLT, there should be a 0% loss in your response to the Command Prompt
• Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the OLT – 192.168.1.1.
• If the OLT’s login screen appears – then you are successfully connected to the Web Graphical User Interface of the device.
