BSNL FTTH-Fiber on an unlocked Airtel Xstream Router (Nokia G-2425G-A)

[mintdrgn44]

Hello there.

I am trying to replace the router/modem provided by BSNL (Alphion AONT-1143) with an Airtel Xstream Router (Nokia G-2425G-A) to use with BSNL Fiber. I have unlocked the Airtel modem/router successfully using the instructions found on this forum and can access all the settings in the admin page. I have replicated the SSID and password from the Alphion to the Nokia as well as the IP provided username and password among other settings. It doesn't work for whatever reason. The AUTH light on the Airtel modem doesn't get stable while its fine with the PON led on the Alphion.

What am i doing wrong? Is this even something that is possible? Please help out.

Thanks in advance!

Brdr, you gotta change three things in the Nokia and get Nokia's WAN MAC binding done from your LCO.

Three things that need to be changed using telnet:
a. MfrID
b. G984Serial
c. YPSerialNum

To change these settings, make sure you set the OperatorID to 0000 first, then only you can modify them using:
ritool set MfrID ABCD
ritool set G984Serial 12345678
ritool set YPSerialNum 12345678
(Replace ABCD with the first 4 characters of your Alphion GPON SN and 12345678 with the last 8 characters of your GPON SN)

Use one command at a time and most importantly, once all three are taken care of, set the OperatorID ID back to ALCL, otherwise you risk leaving your ONT in a weird state.

Finally, reboot and check in the status page if the new details are reflecting.

Hey man. Thank you so much for replying.

I am not really familiar with networking terminology. Do you mean that i should contact BSNL for these three things? Would they readily provide with these details? Is GPON SN same as the serial number printed on the router label?

Also finally, how do you change the operator ID? How do i revert back to ALCL?(i mean..what is ALCL?)

Sorry for the noob questions. I am new to networking and router related stuff. I have some idea on how to use telnet from the experience of unlocking the Airtel Router before.

Thanks again.

I can't tell you specifically about G-2425G-A, but here are a few things you can do

As suggested by @tr1k0N4 change the Serial number of G-2425G-A (it shall match the serial number of Alphion AONT-1143). Do the same with MAC addresses

Then make the PPPoE entries if you don't have static IP (I am unaware about BSNL's VLAN, Username and Password configurations) you can get them in Alphion AONT-1143.

Regarding ALCL it stands for Alcatel Lucent (Don't worry it's Nokia)
When you set the operator id, it tells the onu to whom it belongs to and then behaves accordingly (companies like hathway, Airtel, GTPL etc have done tieup with Nokia to provide them with preconfigured onus that can be then setup from backend, reducing user and installation team interaction).

When you set it to ALCL you trick the onu to think that it isn't preconfigured for any ISP and lets you play with the settings

And you shall have already done it when you unlocked the ONU

Hey guys. i am trying to change the operator ID to 0000 through Telnet but i am unable to because of not knowing Password2. What could be this password.

When trying to use 'ritool' command to set operatorID immediately after logging into Telnet, it says that the command is unknown( in cmd with admin privileges). Hence i am trying 'enable' command and then 'shell' command to get root access. but password2 is not letting me in.

What am i missing?

 

[tr1k0N4]

What credentials are you using for telnet?

@tr1k0N4

Hey man. I am using 'AdminGPON' for username and 'ALC#FGU' for password at 192.168.1.254. Can get into telnet and router config page with these without any issues.
