oh, okay. the system is pretty complicated
I got an Xstream Fiber connection recently and had also ordered the XZ000-G7. I don't think the OLT is Alcatel make, in the Dasan ONT, it shows OLT Type as None.
Anyway, I cloned the GPON serial and it shows Registered O5, but unable to establish PPPoE. I had a Huawei 8120C ONT with me, and I could clone the serial, set VLAN to 100 and it just worked, so something odd with the TP-Link.
I got the TP-Link for curiosity sake, just to give it a try, it definitely works fine with the Huawei ONT. Would be interested to see if I can get the G7 working. Any ideas?
Another interesting thing is, the TP-Link showed Rx Power as some -26.x whereas the Dasan had it at -24.x. The Huawei on the other hand shows -23.x. Didn't expect so much of a difference among the different devices. There were no major bends or anything.

Not really sure @tr1k0N4, I didn't spend much time on it. Will try a VLAN scanner and see if it gives a different VLAN for some reason. However, the fact that it worked as-is using a Huawei ONT is interesting. Does that mean the TP-Link's compatibility is much lower? I have used the Huawei with Airtel and BSNL and didn't face any issue.
I gave it one more try yesterday with the XZ000-G7, but no luck.
Without cloning the GPON serial ie with stock GPON serial, it doesn't register with the OLT, and it remains in O2 or O3 states. Post cloning of the serial, it does register and reaches O5 state. However, one thing I noticed is that, the xPON stats shows Tx activity but no Rx. The Rx related counters remain 0 always, except for OMCI. So I am suspecting that even though it registers with the OLT, some other parameter is mismatching and the OLT does not allow traffic to flow through.
So it looks like XZ000-G7 may not work in my area atleast till a firmware update or something. I will give it a try in Kerala with a local cable operator and see if it works there.

ALCL OLT has issues with VLAN. It checks for some random parameter like HW number, Software version number to authenticate the ONU on the correct VLAN. If that parameter doesn't match, it assigns a random VLAN like "VLAN inner" and "VLAN outer". The outer VLAN is the VLAN which ISP uses for eg. 100 for Airtel or 1015 for Jio. But here the ONU needs to translate outer VLAN to inner VLAN which is a totally random number. When I used to have Jio which had ALCL OLT, my outer VLAN was 1015 and inner VLAN was 1881. So using 1015 as VLAN didn't work. I had to use 1881 for internet to work.
If you have an ONU with Realtek Chipset eg. VSOL V2802RH, running the below telnet command will give you the inner and outer VLANs.
If you just want to know the "Real" VLAN to use ignoring inner and outer, run the following telnet command
Another note: Bridge configuration needs to be removed for the above commands to work reliably as sometimes they don't work if ONU is in bridge mode.
I am in touch with few AliExpress dealers regarding V2802RH but all of them are trying to sell me a PTF2882 ONU which they claim is same as VSOL V2802RH. So I am wondering whether I should go ahead with it.
