This ONT supports dual boot.

kernel0 and rootfs0 respectively contain the kernel and firmware of the first image, kernel1 and rootfs1 the kernel and the firmware of the second one.

Serial

This stick has UART pulled out to SFP connectors 2 and 7, but no components are mounted.
Signal level is 3.3V TTL
Baud rate is 115200 bps

The UART can be accessed by any of the following methods.

• Touch the needle to a specific point
• Shorting a specific pad to access from SFP

Touch the needle

The UART can be accessed by connecting a wire or touching a needle to the following points.

Access from SFP

By shorting these two points with solder, you can access the UART from SFP pins 2 and 7.

TX : 2 pin
RX : 7 pin

Login Password

This stick does not have a web console. To configure it, you must log in via UART or Telnet.

To generate a password, emulate CIG ONT in Linux QEMU and run GponCLI and execute the following command.

sudo apt-get install qemu-user
wget https://github.com/YuukiJapanTech/CA8271x/raw/main/emulate_CIG/GponCLI.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvcf GponCLI.tar.gz -C /emulate_CIG
ROOT=/emulate_CIG/root
sudo chroot $ROOT /bin/GponCLI
ONT> enable
#ONT> system/debug/md5 "your PON-S/N uppercase" 8

For example, if the SN is GPON2350004b, the user name and password would be

#ONT> system/debug/md5 GPON2350004B 8
MD5 Value: UzwugGYT

• User : GPON2350004b
• Password : UzwugGYT

UART does not ask for a login, it is possible to get a root shell without know the password.

ATTENTION

fscom Stick (XGS-ONU-25-20NI) does not have PON S/N on the label.
(The S/N field stamped on the label is fscom internal S/N. it is not PON S/N)
The only way to get the PON S/N on fscom Stick is to check the boot Log from the UART !

How to get Linux Shell

After logging in via telnet or UART, you will first get the CLI with user privileges.

ONT>

The root CLI can be obtained by executing the enable command on this CLI.

ONT> enable
#ONT>

can switch to the Linux root shell by executing the following command.

#ONT> system/shell
#ONT/System/Shell> sh
#

Configuration

XGS-ONU-25-20NI ONT uses scfg.txt file and misc command for configuration.

scfg.txt

In the XGS-ONU-25-20NI ONT, the settings are loaded by four scfg.txt files. For rewriting settings, /userdata/scfg.txt and /tmp/scfg.txt are used.

• /config/default_scfg.txt (ReadOnly)
  Contains the manufacturer’s default settings,
  which are read first at ONT startup and are the lowest priority settings.
  
• /config/scfg.txt (ReadOnly)
  Contains settings set by the firmware creator,
  which have higher priority than default_scfg.txt and will overwrite the settings if there is a conflict.
  
• /userdata/scfg.txt (RW)
  Contains settings set by the user or ISP.
  It has a higher priority than /config/scfg.txt and will overwritte the settings if there is a conflict.
  Can be edited and saved.
  
• /tmp/scfg.txt (Can’t Save)
  It contains dynamically generated settings based on values stored on its custom ROM (mtd9, mtd10)
  Since they are generated on tmpfs and cannot be saved directly,
  they are rewritten via the #ONT> system/misc command on the ONT.
  

The settings are overwritten and loaded at startup with the following priority.

(High) /tmp/scfg.txt > /userdata/scfg.txt > /config/scfg.txt > /config/default_scfg.txt (Low)

Misc Command

To configure settings using the MISC command, execute the following command.

#ONT> system/misc
#ONT/system/misc>

eqsn set “XXXXxxxxxxxx”

Write PON S/N. For example, if the SN like ZTEG21100005 (5a54454721100005) ,

#ONT/system/misc> eqsn set "ZTEG21100005"

The get command can also be used to retrieve the set PON S/N.

#ONT/system/misc> eqsn get
eqsn: ZTEG21100005

Vendor set “XXXX”

Write MIB OntG (256) Vendor Code. For example, if the Vendor like ZTEG,

#ONT/system/misc> vendor set "ZTEG"

The get command can also be used to retrieve the set PON S/N Vendor field.

#ONT/system/misc> vendor get
vendor: ZTEG

In this ONT, the MIB OntG Vendor can be set to a value different from the S/N Vendor value. example,

#ONT/system/misc> eqsn get
eqsn: GPON21100005
#ONT/system/misc> vendor get
vendor: ZTEG

pon_passwd set “xxxxxxxxxx”

Write Loid Password. (Max 20 bytes) For example, if the Loid password like 0123456789 ,

#ONT/system/misc> pon_passwd set 0123456789

The get command can also be used to retrieve the set Loid password.

#ONT/system/misc> pon_passwd get
eqsn: 01234567890000000000

exeep_w8 “xxxxxxxxxx”

Write PLOAM Password (Registration ID). For example, if the Loid password like G01234567 ,

#ONT/system/misc> exeep_w8 "G01234567"

The exeep_r8 command can also be used to retrieve the set PLOAM password.

#ONT/system/misc> exeep_r8
