So I've got this thing sitting on my bench for testing. Had to order
some bidi SFPs and SC/APC patch cables.
I ordered some of these: http://www.fs.com/products/20185.html
Can't get it to link up. I've tried multiple SFPs and patch cables now.
And unfortunately I don't have any of the opposite Tx/Rx SFPs to try a
link between two switches. So far I've used a MikroTik CRS and a Planet
switch. Neither work. The SFP DDM data shows 1490nm, so I assume these
are the correct Tx wavelength. And FiberStore hasn't sent us the wrong
stuff.. yet.
WTF am I missing? Is there some hidden menu in the ONT GUI to switch
between GPON and AE? I thought it was auto. Or perhaps some diagnostics?
I don't have an OTDR, light meter or any of that basic stuff.. because
that's not my problem for this project.
