Funny, I just got my own GPON-capable SFP (a Zyxel pmg3000-d20b) last week.

Finally got a fiber connection from Deutsche Telekom 2 months ago, after almost 5 years of waiting and a huge amount of fear and loathing. At one point, they threatened to cancel my order, claiming a certain subcontractor was unable to reach me. Of course that subcontractor had already done it's job months ago at that point. And this is just one of the many, many shenanigans that went on during those years.

At the moment, I'm using a Fritz!Box 5530 Fiber directly hooked up to the fiber with the AVM-supplied GPON interface. But I'm planning for the Zyxel SFP to go directly into my homelab server and route from there :)

Make sure to check which firmware version the module you got is using.

The module I ordered last year still uses an old firmware from 2020 which has telnet access available.

The module I ordered a few weeks ago uses a new firmware with no telnet access, which also means no way to set the serial number anymore.

I haven't yet checked whether it's still possible to access the interface via uart.
