XX530v - Allow changing VENDOR ID, SOFTWARE VERSION and other parameters for great OLT compatibility
Currently, the only possible GPON parameters to configure in XX530v v1 are the following:
But this greatly reduces compatibility with different providers, given this product IS AVAILABLE for retail in some countries, and people can buy it to replace ISP ONU/ONT, because it's a great router.
The problem is many internet providers validate more information that what is possible to configure in XX530v (V1), therefore my proposal is:
Allow a broader range of GPON parameters to be configured (AKA "OMCI information")
Like this:
(screenshot of another ONU)
For example, if a certain OLT need a specific value for SOFTWARE VERSION 1 that is different than what XX530v normally sends, this device could work with that OLT if that value could be configured (instead of being HARD CODED).
GPON SN is a example of this: the device has its own GPON SN printed below it, but it's possible to change it in order to allow it to be registered to the OLT.
We only need more parameters to be configured, like
Vendor ID
SOFTWARE VERSION 1
software version 2
OMCC version
Product Class
HW version
OUI
Device Serial Number
MAC
It would improve compatibility a lot, and make it competitive with other ONUs/ONTs.

@alb3530 I think TP-Link must recognize many people buy this router to replace ISP equipment, because this XX530v is sold by retailers for end users.
If it's available for end users, you can't expect users ignore the fact it's a GPON device, and treat it as "just another router". If it's been sold, it's a GPON device, it's OBVIOUS users will try to replace inferior equipment with XX530v.
TP-Link must aknowledge this and add more fields for us to customize.

@alb3530 This is really needed!
I could get it to work with my provider (thankfully!!), but if I change ISP in the future or if my current ISP starts to check anything else, I'll be on trouble.
