GPON-ONU not recognized by RB4011

Sun May 02, 2021 1:10 am

Hi there!
I have an brand new S-GPON-ONU module and RB4011 router. RB4011 do not recognize GPON in WinBox(no serial /name/model). But, if I put another SPF module, it's recognized fine.

Have you got any idea, how I can run S-GPON-ONU on RB4011? Thanks.

Not all sfp GPON modules are the same.
Most sfp GPON modules will only work in a device that understands GPON.
There are some sfp GPON modules which have the GPON electronics/firmware included in the module so that they can function in most sfp devices and then participate in a GPON fiber network.

EDIT - I installed and tested one or two dozen Mikrotik GPON modules ( inserted them in outdoor cases containing the Mikrotik router ). All of them worked until the 1st warm summer day then all of them bricked. I have one remaining Mikrotik GPON module that still works after all of these years - it was installed in an airconditioned Lab where we pre-tested prior to installation.
The Mikrotik GPON modules ran HOT and without any fan cooling from an air conditioned room, the temp would skyrocket to a temp so hot that they would turn into a brick and can't be recovered.
There is a chance that your Mikrotik GPON module may of already been cooked and is now a brick - and that might be why your Mikrotik does not recognize it.
