Please note: This guide is for ZTE H298N routers only.

This is ﬁbre: this is the future

Welcome to the next-generation of communications: future-proof, cutting-edge technology that allows for

more entertainment, a richer experience and super-fast downloads. Seethelight deliver high-speed internet

via ﬁbre optics that makes hi-tech applications, home working and video conferencing a reality.

Brace yourself – the broadband you’ve used in the past doesn’t compare to ﬁbre’s stunning connectivity. It’s

worth looking out for the little dierences from traditional data services – but don’t worry, we’ll be covering

them in the next few pages.

Please ensure that you read this guide carefully to help you get the best out of your seethelight services.

Because seethelight use ﬁbre to bring you high-speed internet, we use some equipment that you may not be

familiar with. This next section will give you a quick overview of this equipment.

Your home will have either of these two set-ups:

1. Introduction and Your Fibre Equipment

Battery

Back-Up

ONT

Patch

Panel

Telephone

Adaptor

Conﬁguration A: Patch panel linked to internal wiring to enable internet service in multiple rooms.*

*Exact layout of equipment may vary. Your internal wiring is the responsibility of the house owner/landlord.

To resolve an internal wiring problem please contact a qualiﬁed electrician.

Internet User Guide, ZTE H298N Last amended: 21/10/2014

Conﬁguration B: The same as A but without a patch panel.* *Exact layout of equipment may vary.

FYI:

Fibre is short for ‘ﬁbre optics’. Fibre optics are small glass threads through which light is

passed. Internet and voice data is converted from electrical impulses into light, passed down

the ﬁbre as light, then converted back into electrical impulses.

This allows data to ﬂow up and down the ﬁbre.

Your Fibre Equipment continued...

Battery Back-Up

This useful piece of kit provides back-up battery power, so if the mains power fails, you will still be able to

make telephone calls for up to eight hours. Please note that Internet services are not supported when your

ONT is running on battery back-up power.

Patch Panel

This can be used to distribute data services throughout the home via internal cabling. Using the patch

cables between the socket and the ONT, you can deliver services wherever they are needed in the home

(for more on this see 2.3 A ‘wired’ connection using the patch panel )

Telephony Master Socket and Telephone Adaptor

Applicable for voice services. Please see Telephone User Guide for more information.

Your Fibre Equipment continued...

ONT (Optical Network Terminal)

This is where the light that passes through the ﬁbre optics on the seethelight network is converted into

electrical signals for use by your telephone or computer. The ONT is typically located in an under stairs

cupboard (though this may vary from house to house). It has two or four internet and two telephony ports

situated on the underside.

Note: Make sure your ONT’s power supply is plugged-in and switched on or you will not have a connection to

the seethelight network for both telephony and internet.

The ONT has several lights located on it, which tell you its status. These lights can be useful to help you

troubleshoot any problems with your connection. The table below describes the lights which may indicate

a problem with your connection.

Please note, the lights may vary between dierent versions of the ONT.

Light name Colour Meaning

EQPT O No power*

Green OK

MGMT O No power*

Red, Amber or Flashing No connection*

Power Green Power OK

O No power*

PON Green Connection OK

LOS Red No connection**

Action

*Check power and other cables are properly connected

** Check that there are no bends in the ﬁbre connection

2. Setting up your internet connection

Make sure you have all of the following pieces of equipment before setting up your internet connection.

Network Ethernet cable

(colour may vary)

Wireless ZTE Router

Router Power Supply ONT

Your set-up options:

1. A ‘wired’ connection

Internet speeds slow down over wireless connections, so for the best download & upload speeds, use wired.

2. A ‘wireless’ connection

If you have a PC/laptop (made in the last six years), or Apple Mac then you will be ready to go, as it will be

‘wireless enabled’ as standard. If your computer isn’t ‘wireless enabled’, you’ll need the following equipment:

For laptop: Wireless USB adaptor or wireless PCMCIA card

For PC: Wireless USB adaptor or wireless network card

3. A ‘wired’ connection using your house’s internal wiring

Using the patch-panel, you can deliver services wherever they are needed in the home

And remember:

Follow these instructions closely and don’t attempt to disassemble any of your seethelight equipment

Don’t turn on your power supply until you’re sure everything is connected correctly
