Well I guess I didn't wait long enough for the GPON/AE detection stuff.
Looks like it goes through a couple reboots. And it takes for freakin ever.
So it links up using an SFP in the Planet switch. Surprise, surprise..
does not work at all to the MikroTik CRS. It's running 6.39.2. Tried
auto-neg on and off. Nothing. No idea. Fsck it. Typical MikroTik.

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.
