How to Self-Install Your ONT | Muscatine Power and Water

The ONT (optical network terminal) converts fiber’s optical light signal so your PC and router can use it.  Please follow these instructions to self-install your ONT with MPW’s internet service.

Step 1:  Turn your ONT over.

Step 2:  Slide the cover located in the corner of the bottom of the ONT off.

Step 3:  Remove the black cap from the green receptacle.

Step 4:  Locate the fiber “jumper”.   Note the ridge on the plug. IMPORTANT!! DO NOT POINT THE LIGHTED END AT YOURSELF – IT’S A LASER!

Step 5:  Insert the jumper plug with ridge, facing down.   Push it until it snaps in place.

Step 6:  Replace the cover.

Step 7:  Plug one end of the ethernet cable into ETH1.

Step 8:  Plug the other end of the ethernet cable into your PC or router.

Step 9:  Connect the adapter, then plug it into an outlet and turn the ONT power ON.
