Hi, Anime4000

Incredible research you have done!

I'm currently investigating replacing the my current ONU with a SFP module. My intention is more of simplifying my current setup. I'm getting a B on the dslreport bufferbloat test, but I'm still ok with the current speed.

I have a few questions, if you don't mind.

I read from your research that using the custom ONU will trigger an alarm on the ONT side? Is it possible to just replace the ONU with an SFP ONU without triggering any alarm? Also, are you able to manage to get the phone line working? Is it possible to run my own FreePBX server and get the phone line working?

Thanks for the detailed response.

The current ONU I'm using is actually a TM Alcatel Lucent I240G.

The bottom panel shows a few fields:
SN1 (is this OMCI_SW_VER1?)
SN2 (is this OMCI_SW_VER2?)
MAC ID
Model Number
Material Number (Not sure what this is. Its a number in the format: 100000xxxx)

I seem to be missing hardware version, GPON_SN, VS_AUTH_KEY. What is the VS_AUTH_KEY, and how do I obtain that?

As for the PLOAM password, I think this should be the ONU password that I have. When the technicians came to install the internet for me 3-4 years ago, I asked them for the ONU access and password. I have been planning to replace the ONU since day 1 . This password is a 10 digit numerical password.

Also, from their info, I can see that the VLAN VOIP is 400, and also, there's a VLAN_VOIP_PORT, which is a string in the format 4-400-LVxxxxxxxxxx. Not sure what this is for though.

Thanks!

Just curious, I saw that there is a firmware dump of UFiber-Instant in your repo, did you investigate if that SFP module is usable? I'm using a ER‑X‑SFP as my router, and I'm wondering if it might work better if everything is from the same company.

Ubnt does not have the best track record in terms of stability.

As you can see from this link, there are some issues with ER4 SFP that CarlitoxxPro himself pointed out to ubnt, but I think its ignored. The fix is already in the linux kernel as far as I know, but still no news about a fix from ubnt.
