6.1 Accessing the Device

The GPL-8000 can be managed via a web-based GUI, CLI (Console/Telnet/SSH), or SNMP.

• Web GUI: Bula a web browser and enter the device's IP address (default IP address can be found in the Quick Installation Guide or by using the console).
• CLI: Use a terminal emulator connected to the console port or establish a Telnet/SSH session to the device's IP address.

6.2 Tlhophiso ea Motheo

Refer to the detailed software user manual for advanced configuration. Key initial steps typically include:

• Changing the default administrator password.
• Configuring the management IP address.
• Setting up GPON service profiles and registering ONUs/HGUs.
• Configuring VLANs and QoS settings.

7. Tlhokomelo

• Ho hloekisa: Periodically clean the device's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and obstructions. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Lisebelisoa tsa Firmware: Regularly check the Planet website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security. Follow the provided instructions for firmware upgrade procedures.
• Tlhokomelo ea Tikoloho: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity limits to prevent hardware degradation.
