apple serial number check authentication

The serial number authentication isn't so much about stopping you from using your own kit, but it's about only receiving your own data. I think it's just the serial number as I've seen reports where a ONT has been replaced and BT enter the new serial number into their kit to enable it.

From what I am reading this would never work therefore should it be allowed to be sold? The next question though is a device like this on Amazon UK - being marketed for FTTH use. I suppose one day I may test this out, but the existing ONT is working as expected. I just dislike having a) A single point of failure that I don't have a replacement for sitting ready to use and b) A device on my network that is a black box where I can get no information out of. It does seem that the default GPON implementation is authentication based on serial number alone, again I was wondering if BT follow this standard or not. On the UBNT forum there are multiple reports of successful usage of their ONT device on FTTH connections in other countries (Spain, Eastern Europe etc) so I was interested in the technical ability of it to work in the UK on the Openreach network. There is lots of 'should' and 'may' but limited hard information. I'm sure many cables have been damages over the years by pets / kids / hoovers etc. I would expect if someone damages the actual fibre or connector they would be liable to have it replaced (at their cost) by Openreach. If there was a fault the original device would need to be put back into place as the first step in fault fixing.ĥ. The fibre terminates in a SC GPON connector that can be pulled out just like any plug/socket can.Ĥ.

It would be the homeowner etc - same as if we do anything with our home telephone system - as long as we are after the master socket back plate that is the demarcation point, although I know many people who have moved or replaced their master socket. Don't understand the question - perhaps users may not want to use Huawei or wanted to actually see something about their FTTH connection?ģ. No, I'd purchase the replacement ONT (I want a spare incase the BT provided on fails or for monitoring my connection as the BT provided ONT is totally locked down).Ģ. I was specifically asking about the Openreach implementation of GPON in terms of serial number authentication, but will attempt to answer your questions.ġ.
