Zhone Technologies (now DZS) makes DSL gateways and fiber ONTs for telephone companies and fiber providers, mostly smaller and rural ISPs in North America. These guides cover the 6000 and 1500 series DSL gateways (6718, 6729, 6748, 6519, 1511, 1518) and the ZNID GPON and GE fiber units.

Zhone Guides

Default Zhone Login Details

Zhone gateways are at http://192.168.1.1. The usual logins are admin / admin, user / user, or admin / zhone on ZNID fiber units. Many ISPs set their own password: for example, CCI uses admin / cciadmin. See the Zhone passwords and Zhone IP address pages.

ISP Settings

Your ISP manages the connection. A factory reset can remove settings that only the ISP can put back, so call them before you reset.
