GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) is an optical transmission standard for fiber optic connections (FTTH). LANCOM offers GPON SFP modules for this purpose, which are available in LANCOM routers with SFP interface. The list of compatible devices can be found in the respective GPON SFP data sheet.
With a GPON module, the LANCOM router can be operated directly on the fiber optic connection of the provider without a separate modem. Please contact your provider if operation without modem and with SFP module is supported. Usually GPON modems are authenticated by serial number and/or GPON password, so operation without provider support is not possible.
As a rule, nothing has to be configured in the device for GPON operation.
LANconfig:
Console:
- Interface
- Select here the SFP interface in which the PON module is plugged, e.g. SFP-1.
- Password
- Enter the PON password here if your provider performs password authentication. Other terms for PON password are "ONT installation identifier" or "PLOAM password". The password consists of either 10 octets in ASCII representation or 20 characters in hexadecimal representation. The password is empty by default. You can get the PON password for your connection from your Internet provider.
- Managed
- Configure here if the modem should be managed by the operating system. In this case the system writes the PON password (recommended).
