Swap out the Arcadyan PB6802B-LG for a Small Form-factor Pluggable WAS-110 or X-ONU-SFPP¶

Purchase Hardware¶

WAS-110/X-ONU-SFPP ONT¶

The WAS-110 and X-ONU-SFPP are available from select resellers worldwide; purchase at your discretion. We assume no responsibility or liability for the listed resellers.

LC/APC to SC/APC adapter or cable¶

A Female LC/APC to Male SC/APC adapter is necessary for connecting to the WAS-110 or X-ONU-SFPP with the provisioned LC/APC cable, or a Male LC/APC to Male SC/APC patch cable, both of which can be purchased at https://www.amazon.co.uk/.

Pre-configuration¶

Before beginning the ONT configuration, ensure you have addressed the following networking requirements to enable successful communication with the PON.

LCT Access Route¶

To install, upgrade, and configure the ONT, your gateway must be able to reach its Local Craft Terminal (LCT) interface. Follow the Accessing the ONT guide to set up the proper network routing between your gateway and the ONT management plane.

Install ONT firmware¶

You must first install the 8311 community firmware for VEIP support to masquerade as the Arcadyan PB6802B-LG on XGS-PON.

Configure ONT settings¶

To masquerade as the Arcadyan PB6802B-LG, you will need its ONT serial number, which is located on the bottom label as depicted below.

Use your preferred setup method and carefully follow the steps to avoid unnecessary downtime and troubleshooting:

• Web (luci)
• Shell (linux)

Via web recommended¶

1. Within a web browser, navigate to https://192.168.11.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/8311/config and, if asked, input your root password.

2. From the 8311 Configuration page, on the PON tab, fill in the configuration with the following values:

   Reminder

   Replace the PON Serial Number with the one found on the Arcadyan PB6802B-LG label.

   Attribute	Value	Mandatory	Remarks
   PON Serial Number (ONT ID)	ARLG…		PON S/N
   Equipment ID	PB6802B-LG
   Hardware Version	PB6802B-LG
   Software Version A	3.1.6_prod		Version listing
   Software Version B	3.1.6_prod		Version listing
   MIB File	/etc/mibs/prx300_1V.ini		VEIP
   Override active firmware bank	A		OLT inits a reboot if on bank B
   Override committed firmware bank	A		OLT inits a reboot if on bank B
   Firmware Version Match	([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+_prod)

3. From the 8311 Configuration page, on the ISP Fixes tab, enable Fix VLANs from the drop-down and set the internet VLAN to 911.

4. Save changes and reboot from the System menu.

Via shell¶

1. Login over secure shell (SSH).

   ssh root@192.168.11.1
   

2. Configure the 8311 U-Boot environment.

   Highlighted lines are mandatory

   Replace the 8311_gpon_sn with the PON S/N found on the Arcadyan PB6802B-LG label.

   fwenv_set -8 equipment_id=PB6802B-LG
   fwenv_set -8 hw_ver=PB6802B-LG
   fwenv_set -8 override_active=A
   fwenv_set -8 override_commit=A
   fwenv_set -8 gpon_sn=ARLG... # (1)!
   fwenv_set -8 mib_file=/etc/mibs/prx300_1V.ini
   fwenv_set -8 fix_vlans=1
   fwenv_set -8 internet_vlan=911
   fwenv_set -8 fw_match_b64=KFswLTldK1wuWzAtOV0rXC5bMC05XStfcHJvZCk=
   fwenv_set -8 sw_verA=3.1.6_prod # (2)!
   fwenv_set -8 sw_verB=3.1.6_prod
   

   1. PON S/N
   2. Version listing

3. Verify the 8311 U-boot environment and reboot.

   fw_printenv | grep ^8311
   reboot
   

Verify ONT connectivity¶

Hot plug fiber cable¶

After rebooting the WAS-110 or X-ONU-SFPP, safely remove the LC/APC fiber optic cable from the Arcadyan PB6802B-LG and either connect it to an SC/APC adapter to the WAS-110 or X-ONU-SFPP, or replace the entire fibre with one suitable for the module.

1. Navigate to https://192.168.11.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/status/overview and, if asked, input your root password.
2. From the PON Status section, evaluate that the RX Power and TX Power are within spec.

Validate OLT authentication¶

Check for O5.1 PLOAM status

1. Navigate to https://192.168.11.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/status/overview and, if asked, input your root password.
2. From the PON Status section, verify that the PON PLOAM Status is in an 05.1, Associated state.

Check for OLT associated VLAN filters

1. Navigate to https://192.168.11.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/8311/vlans and, if asked, input your root password.
2. From the VLAN Tables page, if the textarea states "No Extended VLAN Tables Detected", the ONT configuration has not satisfied the OLT.

Router tips¶

• Apply the pre-configuration requirements.
• Configure the WAN VLAN to 911.
• Configure the WAN for DHCP mode.

Managed switch tips¶

• Filter or disable any Layer 2 management protocols (e.g., (R)STP) and discovery protocols (e.g., LLDP, CDP, FDP, MNDP, RoMON).

Software versions¶

The Arcadyan PB6802B-LG uses CWMP instead of OMCI for firmware updates. While the OLT rarely requires approval for specific software versions, keeping the WAS-110 or X-ONU-SFPP up-to-date is beneficial but not strictly necessary.

If you would like to help us maintain the software listing, you can contribute new versions via the 8311 Discord community server or by submitting a Pull Request on GitHub.
