Calix hardware is reasonably priced. (I built much of my C.O. from Ebay parts.) I buy new 803G ONTs from Calix. I pay support and everything just works. The back end is exhaustively complete with features. I have been involved in many different patchwork systems in the past. Never again.

I'm not specifically defending Calix here, I'm just thinking I haven't yet seen GPON equipment that made any assertions about interop with other vendors. Unless you went ActiveE aren't you still locked in with whatever vendor you went with?

That's one of the reasons I opted to not go with Calix for our fiber system. Just as vendor-locked as Apple and Ubiquiti. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Daniel White" mailto:[email protected] To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" mailto:[email protected] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2021 7:52:15 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] E7-2 GPON and VOIP So with most VoIP devices... you can point them to an auto-provision server. When they boot up, they send a request (FTP, HTTP, HTTPS) for the config file based on MAC address, the provisioning server creates the file or serves up a file already created. There is no way to direct an ONT to a provisioning server on boot-up that isn't Calix. That is where the ONT expects to find the SIP credentials. There is no way to have the Calix Cloud pull credentials based on MAC address from a SIP provisioning server. So the only option you have is to manually add the credentials by first creating them on the VoIP platform and then entering them into the Calix Cloud. There could be a way to do this via API... and really there isn't any reason I can think of why there is not. But Calix has a hell of a play to pay mentality and partnering with them in any way as a vendor is a lot of paperwork and bureaucracy.
