Calix 801G ONT Replacement + VoIP Credentials

[rytis]

1. Has anyone managed to replace Calix ONT with SFP module?
2. Any chance to get VoIP credentials to use my own SIP phone rather then connecting the phone into the  Vodafone router?

Vodafone customer services seems useless.

Combination of:

LOID
PLOAM

GPON SN
MAC
MACKEY
even sometimes vendor ID and versions are involved. Going to order one to see what happens.

You still have the issue that replacing an ONT with an SFP is going to be far more difficult than replacing a PON.  With a PON the optical signal is already split for you, on an ONT there can be multiple streams and the device needs to split off just your own!

Optical signal is split from OLT through WDM demux before supplied to the customer. What’s streams you are talking about, vlans?

[CrimsonLiar]

What you are describing is what happens when the customer has a PON/GPON or similar.  If the customer has an ONT then the fibre is passively-optically split with fibre signal distributed to multiple customers carrying all the data for all the customers and it's the job of the ONT to ensure that each customer only has access to their own data.  How those individual streams of data for each customer are encoded is dictated by the infrastructure provider.  That encoding is secure, it has to be, else it'd be a data breach.  Hence it's hard if not near impossible to take the fibre from an ONT put it into an SFP carrier and get any meaningful data from it.  With a PON it can be not that hard at all infrastructure supplier-dependent!
Each system has its advantages, but systems where the customer hs a PON, look like they have the edge in upgradeability.
*Im on BT on their 900/100 plan that was delivering 934/104 but has been quietly upgraded to 1.2G/150M, but my guaranteed minimums remain as they were.
