Hi Guys,

I am using a Mikrotik RB5009 and just received an ODI XPON ONU Stick.

The web interface of the stick supposed to be reachable at 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.1.1

So I did the following:

1. Create a Bridge between SFP+ and ETH4
2. Plug in client at ETH4 with manual IP 192.168.100.2 (or x.x.1.2)

However, cannot reach the stick at all, no ping or http possible.

Did I miss a step?

asellus & Gaara92 Thanks both of your for your help.

I followed what you wrote and tried different variants - assigned different ips, with/without bridge, with/without plugged in fiber etc. etc.
Still cannot reach the webinterface.

The stick shows up in routers interface overview but in the details it seems the information arent complete.
For example MAC address of stick is not shown etc.

Summary: aside from the stick being super-super-hot (like really burning hot) nothing happens.

Maybe a faulty stick then?
Will try to return & exchange and then see how it goes...

Update from Seller: they say that the stick works with a "Switch" only, but not with a "Router"...
What to say... anyway, will get a refund through Lazada i guess.

Dont really want to open it up, but production date is Nov 2021, so should be a new model then, correct?

Exactly. Mikrotik RB5009

That worked.
The part I missed was adding it under an Interface List




Now need to figure out the TIME broadband configuration

Ok, so far so good.

Flashing done - telnet comes up for about 4...5 seconds and then it reboots.
I also see that the webinterface is working until reboot.

Now regarding the Auto Reboot Fix...

So lets see the steps from github:

N/A Downgrade your TWCGPON657 to version B13 or below.
OK Flash with V2801F_V1.9.0-201104.tar and wait.
NOT OK Quickly login and execute echo 3 > /proc/fiber_mode to avoid auto-reboot (invalid VS_AUTH_KEY)

1) the password for the flashed Firmware on github is stated to be either: admin:stdONU101 or admin:system
This didnt work for me; I can login into telnet with credentials admin:admin

2) Time is just enough to run echo 3 > /proc/fiber_mode before the reboot.
However that doesnt seem to work, the stick is still in the reboot loop.
I tried this with fiber in and out, both same result.

PENDING Disconnect fiber from module to restore telnet
PENDING Update VS_AUTH_KEY acording to ELAN_MAC_ADDR and HW_HWVER
PENDING Reboot (in telnet)
PENDING Reflash again with V2801F_V1.9.0-201104.tar (must do after fix VS_AUTH_KEY)
PENDING Enjoy!

It does auto-reboot.
It is stuck in a bootloop.

Online: ~5..6 seconds
Rebooting: ~20..30 seconds.

Yep, did that - as mentioned above with autoit I get the echo 3 > /proc/fiber_mode through.
But the thing still stuck in rebooting all the time.

Not getting this far. For this even with autoit the time is not enough.

Autoit can only login (username+pw) and then add echo 3 > /proc/fiber_mode

The next command will only be entered partially and then interrupted do to reboot happening.

Anyway I thought that this will already switch echo 3 > /proc/fiber_mode should already prevent the reboot, correct?

The point on Githhub says: "Quickly login and execute echo 3 > /proc/fiber_mode to avoid auto-reboot (invalid VS_AUTH_KEY)"

The total available time after reboot is max 4..5 seconds - there is no way of changing all the other variables because of that.

Gaara92 Tagging:


Maybe I just should buy a model that people here have already and use successfully...

Which one do you have?

So.. was busy in the past months since I first tried to get this done, but as of today I succeeded!
My TIME broadband is now running with ODI DFP-34X-2C2 (firmware version V1.0-220414)

As base I used the very good guide from Anime4000 here: https:/-/github.com/Anime4000/RTL960x/blob/main/Docs/Setup_Stick.md

However, I was running into issues that kept me from succeeding right away.
A lot of reading later, I got it to work, so here in short the issues I ran into with solutions:

Issue: The OMCI_SW_VER1 and OMCI_SW_VER2 reset always to standard after a reboot.
Reason: bug in firmware

Solution: To avoid this and keep the version you need, set OMCI_OLT_MODE to 21, this is a bug exploit ensuring software version stays as set while all other settings function normal.
Note; same as OMCI_OLT_MODE 3 - you need to ensure adding all other available OMCI information.

Here is where I got this info from: https:/-/github.com/Anime4000/RTL960x/issues/30#issuecomment-1146604684

3x Issues: ONU state o5 but but no internet / router cannot establish PPPoE connection
[1] Reason: MAC Address / AUTH_KEY not correct
Solution: Dont change MAC Address & MAC_Key of your ODI ! If you changed it already, use the ones from that you hopefully backed-up.
Should you not have MAC_Key... well you are out of luck - have seen people struggling with getting it correct.

[2] Reason: vlan id not set
Solution: set vlan ID in webinterface -> Advance -> VLAN Settings
I tried VLAN ID 499 based on the post from hezaika earlier in this thread: https:/'/forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4925452&view=findpost&p=104339195

[3] Reason: OMCI data not correct; especially OMCI_TM_OPT
Solution: flash set OMCI_TM_OPT 0


For the links above you need to remove the "-", I am a too junior member here to post external links

Aside from that I can only encourage everyone who runs into issue to also check the github issue pages of Anime4000 repositories - a lot info & links in there, too.

I hope the above helps someone - if you got questions please let me know.

Again thanks to everyone who participating and contributing, but especially Anime4000 for the great work being done

Just a quick follow up question:

The CPU Usage of the stick as per webinterface is constantly at 100%.
Temperature over the past hours is between 62-64°C

Is that all normal, or anything to tweak to reduce this?

Just logged in via telnet and did run "top" - see screen.



Seems like "diag" is putting a lot of stress on the CPU... can this process safely be killed?

Poser
But congrats!

Can you actually utilize all this bandwidth?
And if yes... for what if I may ask?

Thanks for the additional explanation Anime4000

Just reporting back; the stick has now an uptime of 48+ hours.
So far internet is working well - I do have the max TIME package with 1000/500 and speeds/ping/package loss etc. is as good as with the old ONU.

Only thing is that stick CPU still constantly at 100% and the temperature is still high between 62-65°C...
This is not impacting internet performance, but seeing that you guys are in high 40s or in around 50°C makes me wonder.

For OMCC version my stick is currently set to 0x80 and traffic management option 2.
I am not daring to touch it; stick is working at the moment and I dont really wanna mess up more

Oh I have the same UPS

And I have the same reason as you, the advantage of the SFP is 1 device less that uses a power adapter.

I have the following devices secured by UPS;

- RB5009 with SFP
- TP-LINK TL-SG108E
- NAS DS920+
- NAS DS214+
- 2x RPi0w
- RPi4
- LattePanda v1

However, I auto-shutdown all after 5 min. of power outage (using nut-client & nut-server / Network UPS Tools).

Mikrotik announced a new RB5009 version with PoE ON ALL PORTS.
That would free up at some more power adapters as I could have the 3 RPi and 1 Lattepanda powered with PoE.

Ah just to complete... the new RB5009 exact version name is: RB5009UPR+S

Looking at specifications then RB5009 max power consumption is like 20Watts and your TM BTU probably also another max. 20Watts.

Technical Data Sheet of the F800P says:

- Battery 12V 7Ah x 1
- Backup-Time 20-30 min depending on load....

So lets calculate... (and please correct me if anything is wrong):



So if my calculation is correct, then the UPS battery "should" last you for about 2 hours.
Now if it was far less than lets say 30 minutes - yeah, something is wrong.
