• Wait for the response of your ping test.  For a successful communication between the Management PC and the OLT, there should be a 0% loss in your response on Command Prompt
• Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the OLT – 192.168.1.1.
• If the default screen opens on the device information – then you are successfully connected to the Web Graphical User Interface of the device.
