Setup

Unifi UDM Pro using Iszo APC XPON UNO on Verizon FiOS GPON

Important

It is a 50/50 chance amazon will send you a SC/APC or SC/UPC Iszo ONU. (For verizon FiOS you want SC/APC)

You can tell if the ONU is SC/APC if the little handle on the ONU is Green. If it is Blue your ONU is SC/UPC.

Both units will work, but if you have a SC/UPC (blue) ONU you will need an adapter Link

Verizon ONT: I-211M-K

ISZO ONU: LL-XS2510

I used this as reference

For programming I used a PCIE Mellanox ConnectX-2 but any media converter or compatible switch should work fine.

ONU Setup

• I started out by plugging in the UNO into my connectx-2 for programming. I manually set the NIC to 192.168.1.10/24 leaving the gateway section blank.

• You will know when the UNO is up and running when NIC shows a status of “Unidentified Network”. If the UNO does not come up within 5 minutes, you can try disabling and re-enabling the NIC.

• Once the UNO is up, Navigate to the Web UI at 192.168.1.1
  • Username: admin Password: admin
• Go to the “Settings” tab
• Enter your SN in the “GPON SN” and “Device Serial Number” field.

• My SN was found on the front of my Verizon provided ONT
  • Mine started with “ALCLF”

• Leave “LOID”, “LOID Password” and “PLOAM Password” Blank. If there is something in the field clear it out.

Important

Now press BOTH “Apply Changes” on the page.

• Open Putty and SSH into the ONU at 192.168.1.1
• Log in with the same Username and Password and run this command.

flash set OMCI_FAKE_OK 1

• You can now exit putty.
• Going back to the GUI. Go to the “Commit/Reboot” tab and press “Commit and Reboot”
• Give the ONU a few minutes.

UDM Pro Setup

Setting Up SSH

• You can now remove the ONU from the Media converter, Connectx-2 or switch and plug the ONU into the UDM PRO.
  • For this next step we need to enable SSH on the UDM PRO

• Under the ”Control Plane” tab in Unifi, navigate to ”Console Settings” Enable SSH under “Advanced” it will ask you to set a password.
• Now open putty and go to the IP address of the UDM PRO (Your gateway IP)
  • Username: root
  • Password is the password you set in settings.

Important

This part only works if your lan network is not a 192.168.1.X subnet.

If it is, you will need to set the IP address of the ONU to a subnet that does not exist in your network: Example: (192.168.2.1)

You will also then need to subsitue 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.2.100 and 192.168.2.0 for the below command.

• You will need to run this command in the UDM PRO console.

  ip addr add dev eth9 local 192.168.1.100/24
  
  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth9 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j SNAT --to 192.168.1.100
  

Finding the VLAN

• You may now plug in the fiber.

• Navigate to the 192.168.1.1 address of the ONU.

• Go to the “PON” tab, if your settings are correct, you will see “O5” under the GPON Status.

• Now navigate to the “VLAN Settings” tab

  • Make note of the VID number that you get. This is our VLAN number.

• We need to first set the SFP port of the ONU to “WAN 1”
  • This is under Settings > Internet
  • It should be Port 10

• Enter your Unifi controller, Go to Settings > Internet > Wan1
• Now enter the VLAN number we got in the ONU and save.

• You should now have internet access. Congratulations 😎

Note

Once you enter the VLAN Number in Unifi you will lose access to the ONU. If you need access again, disable the VLAN ID on the wan port and rerun the above UDM PRO command
