1. About this User Guide

Hyperfibre is the next generation of fibre, dramatically increasing capacity and unlocking exponential

upload and download speeds. Its exhilarating speed allows you to immerse yourself in ultra-smooth

4K video streaming at ease, while gamers in the family can enjoy lower latency.

The rise in ultra-high definition video, cloud storage, video uploads, advanced gaming, working from

home, and connected devices in a single household means Hyperfibre’s speed and capacity are more

important now than ever.

The Hyperfibre ONT can be used as a Residential Gateway if requested by your Internet Service

Provider, bypassing the need for a separate 10 Gbps Home Router.

1.1. Purpose

This Hyperfibre Residential Gateway User Guide is intended to assist you in getting the most out of

your Hyperfibre Internet service.

The sheer speed of Hyperfibre means that the greatest bottleneck that limits your broadband speed

may be between your home devices (computer, tablet, smartphone etc.) and the Chorus Hyperfibre

Residential Gateway. This document provides guidelines and instructions on how to connect to and

configure the Chorus Hyperfibre Residential Gateway to get the best possible broadband experience.

1.2. About this document

This documentation has been developed by Chorus as a guide to using and configuring the Hyperfibre

Residential Gateway.

Chorus endeavours to make this document as comprehensive and technically accurate as possible.

However, it may need to be updated from time to time to include clarifications, errata or additional

content. Feedback on the content, technical accuracy or clarity is welcome.

This document describes using the Nokia XGS-250WX-A Hyperfibre ONT as a Residential Gateway

on a Hyperfibre Broadband connection powered by a Chorus XGS-PON Fibre Access. If your Internet

Service Provider provides a separate Residential Gateway or Router device that your devices connect

to, then aspects of this guide will not apply. If you are unsure whether this manual applies to your

Hyperfibre connection, please discuss with your Internet Service Provider.

This document does not constitute an offer by Chorus to provide Hyperfibre.

2. XGS-250WX-A Hyperfibre Residential Gateway Overview

Hyperfibre Broadband includes a consumer-grade router (Nokia XGS-250WX-A Hyperfibre Residential

Gateway) that connects a home or small business network to the Internet over the Chorus Hyperfibre

Access network.

Figure 1: Hyperfibre Residential Gateway as a gateway between home and Internet

The Hyperfibre Residential Gateway is a free-standing unit that should be located on a flat surface,

such as a desk or shelf, close to the Chorus ITP, taking care to avoid any blocking of the Wi-Fi signal

from the television or other appliances.

The Hyperfibre Residential Gateway connects to the wall-mounted Chorus ITP using a robust fibre

cable as shown below.

TEL 2 RJ-11 ports. Talk to your Service Provider over whether they support this

feature.

1G Ethernet

ports

Up to four 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet interfaces are supported through LAN1

- LAN4 Ethernet RJ-45 connectors. The Ethernet ports can support both data

and in-band video services on all four interfaces.

10G Ethernet

port

One 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G Base-T Ethernet interface is supported through the

LAN 10G Ethernet RJ-45 connectors.

If you are using an Internet Service Provider-provided Residential Gateway or

Router, then the WAN port of that device needs to be connected to this port.

2.6. Safety Information

Please note the following safety information for the XGS-250WX-A Hyperfibre Residential Gateway:

Danger

Fibre cables transmit invisible laser light. To avoid eye damage or

blindness, never look directly into fibres, connectors, or adapters.

Warning

This equipment is ESD sensitive. Proper ESD protections should be

used when removing the fibre access cover of the Hyperfibre

Residential Gateway.

Warning

Be careful to maintain a bend radius of no less than 3.8 cm when

connecting the fibre optic cable. Too small of a bend radius in the

cable can result in damage to the optic fibre.

Caution

Keep the Hyperfibre Residential Gateway out of direct sunlight.

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can damage the unit

3. Home Network and Chorus Broadband

Modern homes contain a wide range of intelligent devices that have the ability to communicate with

each other and/or the Internet. If the interconnection within the home is slower than your broadband

plan then you will not realise the full potential of Hyperfibre’s blistering fast Internet speeds.

The home network enables this connectivity, and consists of multiple components:

Figure 5: The Home Network

The Fibre ONT (Optical Network Termination) connects the home network to the Chorus fibre access

network. It converts Internet traffic within the home to light and connects your home to your Internet

Service Provider and the Internet.

The Residential Gateway sits between your home and the Internet. It manages the internal home

network, allowing devices inside your home to talk to each other and to the Internet, and provides

basic border security. The XGS-250WX-A Hyperfibre ONT can act as both a Residential Gateway and

a Fibre ONT, or just a Fibre ONT (with a separate Internet Service Provider provided 10 Gbps

Residential Gateway).

The Home Network provides the connectivity between the home devices and the Residential

Gateway. It can be wired (Ethernet or Powerline) or wireless (Wi-Fi) or a mixture of the two. Wired

and Wireless connectivity can be extended through the use of switches, Powerline adaptors, Wi-Fi

access points, Wi-Fi Mesh, smart hubs and similar network devices.

home devices then connect to this network using Ethernet cabling or Wi-Fi, depending on the device,

where it is located and what kind of performance it requires. A good rule of thumb is “if it moves,

use wireless, if it doesn’t, use Ethernet.”

Although this sounds complicated, it usually isn’t. Most modern devices use plug and play options

that make it simple to connect them to each other and to the Internet, with minimal configuration.

Hyperfibre Residential Gateway User Guide

December 2020 Page 8

The Residential Gateway

The Residential Gateway forms the heart of the Home network. By default, it will automatically

allocate unique IP addresses to each Home network device that connects to it, to allow these devices

to talk to each other and to the Internet.

The Hyperfibre Residential Gateway has a number of ports that allow devices to connect to it, as

shown in the figure below:

Figure 6: Hyperfibre Residential Gateway Interfaces

Home devices can connect to the Hyperfibre Residential Gateway as follows:

•home devices with 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port (RJ-45 connector) can be connected

to LAN1-LAN4 using a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable, supporting speeds of up to 1 Gbps;

•home devices with a 2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T Gigabit Ethernet can be connected to LAN 10G

using a standard CAT6 Ethernet cable, allowing the device to take full advantage of

Hyperfibre speeds;

•Wi-Fi-enabled home devices supporting 802.11n/ac can connect wirelessly.

•External hard drives can be connected to the USB ports and be shared with other home

devices connected to the Hyperfibre Residential Gateway.

The default ‘out of the box’ configuration will allow devices to automatically connect to the Hyperfibre

Residential Gateway and be able to communicate with other devices within the home, or to the

Internet. You can customise your network with advance features using the Hyperfibre Residential

Gateway web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), such as change Wi-Fi settings, apply static

addresses or change firewall settings.

Things to note:

•The Hyperfibre Residential Gateway Web GUI URL 192.168.1.254, along with the default

username and password, is printed on a label on the ONT base;

•Check that the WLAN switch is on before trying to connect Wi-Fi-enabled home devices to

the Hyperfibre Residential Gateway;

•The default Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password is shown on the side of the Hyperfibre

Residential Gateway. It is strongly recommended that you change this password as soon as

possible, see section 0 below.

•If the LEDs are causing light pollution issues, they can be turned on or off without

impacting the operation of the Hyperfibre Residential Gateway.

Note that if you are using a separate Residential Gateway device, then this device needs to plug into

the LAN 10G port and the other ports, including LAN1-LAN4, TEL1-TEL2, WLAN and USB1-USB2 will

be disabled.
