CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified here may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Follow these tips when installing a GigaSpire u6me device:
For subscribers using data services, all data wiring inside the home must be CAT5 cable Make sure subscriber connections are tightened properly. Check the contents of each box carefully as you receive them. Components may not be located where you might expect them due to certain items being tested immediately before shipment. Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix. 19 About Wi-Fi Placement Certain building materials are particularly effective at blocking Wi-Fi signals (see table below) and should be taken into consideration when locating the GigaSpire BLAST u6me. Line of sight is not necessary since MIMO technology takes advantage of reflections in the over-the-air path to carry additional data. However, Calix recommends that when possible, Calix GigaSpires should be placed in a centralized location within the home to yield the best possible results for Wi-Fi coverage. Building Materials and Their Effect on Wi-Fi Signals Material Wi-Fi Attenuation Wood, Drywall, Particle Board, Tile Glass Water Metal Bricks, Cinder Block Plaster, Stucco Concrete Tinted or Low-E Glass (metalized) Low Low Medium Medium High High Very High Very High Note: The lower the attenuation, the better the performance.

Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix. Wall Mounting the u6me 23 The Calix GigaSpire BLAST u6me can be wall mounted. Keep the following information in mind when considering wall mounting:
Locate the unit on the wall in a location that is unlikely to be bumped or jostled. Make sure that the Ethernet cable[s] (if used) and power supply wiring attached to the unit are secured properly and out of harms way. Note: Once the GigaSpire is connected and turned up, Wi-Fi network parameters are persisted in memory. For this reason, if power is lost to the unit, it will be re-discovered on the network automatically, without operator intervention. To wall mount the GigaSpire BLAST u6me 1. Find a suitable location for attaching unit to the wall. Be mindful of the power source and Ethernet cable requirements when determining a mounting location. 2. Using the template included in the back of this guide, mark the two screw locations on the wall, making sure the device will remain level after mounting. Note: If attaching to sheet rock or gypsum board, Calix recommends using a wall anchoring system to ensure the bracket is securely attached to the wall. 3. Drill holes in the wall and install appropriate wall anchors if required. 4. Thread the screws into the wall anchors and tighten leaving a gap of about 1/8" between the screw head and the and the back of the unit. Wall Mount Screw Specifications 7 mm

Larger than 7mm wide (.28") and less than 14mm wide (.55") Screw shaft < 3mm in diameter (.12") Screw length > 6mm (.24") and less than 20mm long. (.79") Depending on the material you are attaching to, use a screw of sufficient length and strength to support the BLAST u6me once attached to the bracket. See below for specifications on what type of screw is recommended. Additional Mounting Considerations The options for mounting a GigaSpire BLAST system are many. From a best practices standpoint, keep the following in mind:
Calix recommends mounting the BLAST as high as possible for Wi-Fi performance reasons. However, this deployment scenario still mandates that an AC power outlet is located within the power cord distance of the Wi-Fi source. If installing in a greenfield environment (initial installation), plan on placing the GigaSpire BLAST within 4 feet of the power supply. As an alternative, longer power cords are available to extend the distance between the BLAST and the power supply. Calix also recommends keeping cabling neat and well secured wherever possible. A tidy installation allows for increased safety and an overall neater appearance. Common tools used for this purpose include cable ties and velcro straps for routing cable out of the way. Also, custom made wall plates are often used where the majority of cabling is hidden behind a wall.

Chapter 3 Final Set-up and Testing BLAST u4/u4m Reset Behavior Calix EDGE systems support a variety of system reset functions and provide multiple methods for invoking each of these functions, as described in this topic. Calix defines these functions and behaviors as follows:
1. Basic reset (reboot): Restarts the unit. 2. Configuration reset: Resets the RG configuration settings (those visible to the subscriber/Admin user in the EWI, such as SSIDs, LAN IP scope, etc.) to defaults, but retains operator-configured management settings (those visible only to the Support user in the EWI, such as ACS URL and SPID). 3. Factory reset: Resets the router (and any attached mesh satellites) to factory default settings. A factory reset also removes devices from network management systems such as Calix Support Cloud and the Smart Home Admin Dashboard, where applicable. Proprietary Information: Not for use or disclosure except by written agreement with Calix. 28 These reset functions can be used as troubleshooting and/or operations tools for reset/removal scenarios, whether the device is deployed as a Residential Gateway or as a subtended WAP or Satellite (GigaSpire BLAST or GigaMesh). Hardware-invoked resets behave differently depending on how long the reset button is pressed, as described below.
