6About This GuideThis Calix 844G/854G GigaCenter User Manual defines the gateway's Embedded WebInterface (EWI) and provides instructions for managing a GigaCenter via the EWI. Thisguide explains how to set up and maintain Ethernet network settings, 800G GigaCenterdevices, and any subtended subscriber devices attached to GigaCenter. In addition,information on the set-up and maintenance of the dual 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Wi-Fi radios is alsoprovided.Note: This guide is intended to educate users in setup and configuration of the 800GGigaCenter gateway for use in the home network. This guide does not address theprovisioning of network access services on the GigaCenters themselves. For information onservices provisioning, refer to the appropriate platform documentation.Intended AudienceThis guide is intended for use by consumers. Cursory knowledge of Internet Protocol (IP)and GPON based systems as well as a general understanding of IP addressing, routingprinciples, and internet security are also highly desired. This document assumes that thesubscriber's laptop or PC is equipped with a supported web browser (Internet Explorer orFirefox) and that the user is familiar with its use. Familiarity with datacom, telecom, andstandards-based Ethernet technologies and conventions is also recommended.Note: For the purposes of this guide, it is assumed your service provider has alreadyactivated your GigaCenter on the GPON network and is being managed remotely.Related DocumentationYou can access all Calix product documentation from the Calix Resource Center online atsupport.calix.com.The related Calix GigaCenter documentation includes: Calix 844/854G GigaCenter Installation GuideCalix Residential Service Gateway Wi-Fi Best Practices GuideProprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.

Chapter 1844G/854G GigaCenter OverviewThe Calix 844G and 854G GigaCenter are in a family of Premises delivery platformsoptimized to extend the network demarcation to inside the subscribers home. They are thefirst Calix products to support carrier class Wi-Fi using 802.11ac technology allowing allservices to be delivered over wireless. Carrier class Wi-Fi as defined incorporates 4x4Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) at 5GHz, support of the entire 5GHz bandincluding Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channels, implicit and explicit beamforming,use of 80MHz combined channels at 5GHz, as well as software management tools andquality of service capabilities.Calix GigaCenters are currently available in the following models: 844G-1 GigaCenter, 2 POTS, 4 Gig-Ethernet, Dual Wi-Fi, 1 USB, UPS Power Interface844G-2 GigaCenter, 2 POTS, 4 GE, Dual Wi-Fi, 1 USB, Power Adapter Interface854G-1 GigaCenter, 2 POTS, 4 Gig-Ethernet, Dual Wi-Fi, 1 USB, 1 RF, UPS PowerInterface854G-2 GigaCenter, 2 POTS, 4 Gig-Ethernet, Dual Wi-Fi, 1 USB, 1 RF, Power AdapterInterfaceThe 844G and 854G GigaCenters also includes a Home Gateway functionality firstintroduced in Calix’ 836GE Residential Service Gateway (RSG). The 836GE supports the802.11n standard at either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. GigaCenters support concurrent dual-bandnetworking, allowing continued usage of the 2.4GHz band for data and legacy consumerdevices while supporting IPTV and high-speed data at 5GHz. The GigaCenters are designedto meet service providers’ and end-users’ requirements for broadband access throughout theresidence driven by the growth of smart mobile devices and media rich content. These Wi-Fidevices range from low bandwidth IP cameras, security sensors, smart phones, tablets,printers, and support for bandwidth intensive Quality Of Service (QoS) sensitive Wi-Ficapable Set Top Boxes (STBs) and TVs. To meet these user requirements, some ofGigaCenter highlights include:Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix. Calix. All Rights Reserved.

10 Supports the latest 802.11ac standard for the 5GHz radio. Some basic 802.11acenhancements include: Dynamic beamforming for high performance and longer reaches. 80Mhz channels for greater speeds, QoS support allowing prioritization of Video SSID over lower priority best effortHSI data SSIDs.Dual band concurrent radios allows the use of legacy 2.4 GHz clients while accessingseven times the spectrum of 2.4 GHz using the 5 GHz band.GigaCenters support the E7-2 and E7-20 Ethernet Service Access Platforms (ESAP)GPON. The 844G and 854G are GPON only devices.In conjunction with the Calix Compass software, a rich set of tools is supported forprovisioning, maintaining, and troubleshooting the Wi-Fi home network. Compass’sability to store vast amounts of performance management data allows service providersthe ability to troubleshoot issues that are time of day based along with the ability togenerate trend analysis to predict congestion issuesGigaCenters are designed to help service providers generate new revenue streams such assmart home applications through the continued release of software features. To supportthese features GigaCenters supports a high performance CPU and larger memory thanother products on the marketProprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix.
