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.

I can't believe it's not already there for a product we - general consumers - can buy in stores.
TP Link holds down a otherwise GREAT product with such decisions... Why only allow changing GPON serial number, and not the rest?
These options **must** be there, either in the form of hidden commands or hidden interface pages.

@Jackks There's a lot of cheaper ONUs with that let user set this information.
Here in brazil we have Intelbras R1 (brazilian ONU) that have these options and other cheap ONUs sold here as well. Tp link ONUs/ONTs are very weak in this regard I think.

@alb3530 I miss the ADSL days where we just plugged cable to RJ11 port and it would just work.
I got the XX530v and after realizing it wasn't working, I searched about my problem and found this thread. I didn't imagine a TP-LINK device would have so few settings in this regards while other products seem to have a lot more things to tweak. Seems like all other manufacturers have more complete devices on this matter.
Is it why you tell they are more compatible?

@alb3530 I couldn't get this router to work here, so searching online, it seems like besides GPON serial, I may also have to send the same hardware version parameter as my original Huwaei ONU. So I'm upvoting this.

Dear tp link: My internet provider also need special parameters. Which XX530v don't have.
gpon sn, gpon password and olt type alone isn't enough.
tp link must create new fields for configuring much more parameters becuase router is sold for people and not for internet providers alone.
And people buy it from other countries becuase it's a good router.
Sorry for bad english

hi guys, the real Esteban Sabroso here.
Got stuck with this device like all of you and it seems like we're in tp link "manos" ("hands", in spanish 😁 ). Only them can help us by adding this feature.
Let's wait patiently guys, tp link is the best, they will make this.
Buy guys, report any thing useful you all smart guys find out. Maybe some command, I don't know.

I agree. As long as it's possible to change the other parameters, any way we (consumers) can do it is completely valid.
