## Serial
The stick has a TTL 3.3V UART console (configured as 115200 8-N-1) that can be accessed from the SFP connector, but no components are mounted.
The UART can be accessed by any of the following methods.
- Touch the needle to a specific point
- Shorting a specific pad to access from SFP
### Access from PCB
The UART can be accessed by connecting a wire or touching a needle to the following points.
{% include image.html file="XGS-ONU-25-20NI/UART_needle.png" alt="XGS-ONU-25-20NI UART Touch point" caption="XGS-ONU-25-20NI UART Touch point" %}
### Access from SFP
By shorting these two points with solder, you can access the UART from SFP pins 2 and 7.

# Useful files and binaries
## scfg.txt
In the XGS-ONU-25-20NI ONT, the settings are loaded by four `scfg.txt` files.
For rewriting settings, `/userdata/scfg.txt` and `/tmp/scfg.txt` are used.
- `/config/default_scfg.txt` (read only): Contains the manufacturer's default settings, which are read first at ONT startup and are the lowest priority settings.
- `/config/scfg.txt` (read only): Contains settings set by the firmware creator, which have higher priority than `default_scfg.txt` and will overwrite the settings if there is a conflict.
- `/userdata/scfg.txt` (read/write): Contains settings set by the user or ISP. It has a higher priority than `/config/scfg.txt` and will overwrite the settings if there is a conflict. Can be edited and saved.
- `/tmp/scfg.txt` (temp): It contains dynamically generated settings based on values stored on its custom ROM (mtd9, mtd10). Since they are generated on tmpfs and cannot be saved directly, they are rewritten via the `#ONT> system/misc` command on the ONT.
The settings are overwritten and loaded at startup with the following priority:
***(High)*** `/tmp/scfg.txt` > `/userdata/scfg.txt` > `/config/scfg.txt` > `/config/default_scfg.txt` ***(Low)***
## Misc Command
To configure settings using the MISC command, execute the following command:
```
#ONT> system/misc
#ONT/system/misc>
```
# Usage
## Login and Enable
This stick does not have a web GUI.
To configure it, you must log in via `UART` or `Telnet`.
{% include alert.html content="FS.com Stick XGS-ONU-25-20NI does not have PON S/N on the label. (The S/N field stamped on the label is FS.com internal S/N, not PON S/N). In order to get it, you can either ask an FS.com sales representative or check the boot log from the UART!" alert="Note" icon="svg-info" color="blue" %}
| User | Password (Enable Password) |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| ONU GPON Serial Number | 8 digit HMAC-MD5 based on Uppercase ONU GPON Serial Number |
You can use the following form to generate login credentials:
{% include cig_password_xgspon.html password_len="8" %}
Or you can follow this external documentation on how to [emulate the ONT in QEMU](https://github.com/YuukiJapanTech/CA8271x), so use it at your own risk.
UART does not ask for a login, it is possible to get a root shell without knowing the password.
## Root procedure
After logging in via `telnet` or `UART`, you will first get the MiniShell with user privileges.
```
ONT>
```
The root MiniShell can be obtained by executing the `enable` command on this MiniShell.
```
ONT> enable
#ONT>
```
You can then switch to the Linux root shell by executing the following command:
```
#ONT> system/shell
#ONT/system/Shell> sh
#
```
# GPON ONU status
## Get the operational status of the ONU
Check the ONU Registration State with the following command:
```
#ONT> traffic/pon/show onu
------------------------- ONU INFO --------------------------
Onu id 65535
sdThreshold: 0
sfThreshold: 0
TO1: 80000

```
Check the ONU operation state with the following command:
```
#ONT>traffic/pon/show link
----------------- LINK STATE -----------------
Operation State Machine: INIT (O1)
----------------- STATE END -----------------
#ONT>
```
## Get information of the OLT vendor
OLT information can be extracted from the MIB with the following command:
```
#ONT>system/mib/show 131
Table Oltg, Olt-g, total 1 instances
EntityID = 0x0000
VendorId = ""
EquipmentId = ""
Version = 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

#ONT>
```
## Querying a particular OMCI ME
You can browse the MIB with the following command:
```
#ONT> system/mib
#ONT/system/mib>
```
### Show a list of MIBs supported by ONT
```
#ONT/system/mib> show
This command prints out the content of a mib table.

# GPON/OMCI settings
XGS-ONU-25-20NI ONT uses `scfg.txt` file and misc command for configuration.
## Getting/Setting ONU GPON Serial Number
This setting must be changed with the `misc` CLI option and the `eqsn set "<serialnumber>"` command.
For example, if the SN is like `GPONabcd1234` (`47504f4eabcd1234`):
```
#ONT/system/misc> eqsn set "GPONabcd1234"
```
The get command can also be used to retrieve the configured PON S/N.
```
#ONT/system/misc> eqsn get
eqsn: GPONabcd1234
```
## Getting/Setting ONU GPON PLOAM password
This setting must be changed with the `misc` CLI option and the `exeep_w8 "<password>"` command.
For example, if the PLOAM password is like `0123456789`:
```
#ONT/system/misc> exeep_w8 "0123456789"
```
The `exeep_r8` command can also be used to retrieve the configured PLOAM password.
```
#ONT/system/misc> exeep_r8

```
## Getting/Setting ONU GPON LOID
This setting must be changed in `scfg.txt`, using the key `CHAR-ARRAY CFG_ID_LOID`.
To modify LOID username we add the following line to `/userdata/scfg.txt`:
```
CHAR-ARRAY CFG_ID_LOID = { 0xXX,0xXX,0xXX,0xXX, 0xXX,0xXX,0xXX,0xXX, 0xXX,0xXX,0xXX,0xXX, 0xXX,0xXX,0xXX,0xXX, 0xXX,0xXX,0xXX,0xXX, 0xXX,0xXX,0xXX,0xXX };
```
For example, if the LOID is like `0123456`:
```
CHAR-ARRAY CFG_ID_LOID = { 0x30,0x31,0x32,0x33, 0x34,0x35,0x36,0x00, 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00, 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00, 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00, 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 };
```
## Getting/Setting ONU GPON LOID password
This setting must be changed with the `misc` CLI option and the `pon_passwd set <password>` command.
For example, if the LOID password is like `0123456789`:
```
#ONT/system/misc> pon_passwd set 0123456789
```
The `get` option can also be used to retrieve the configured LOID password:
```
#ONT/system/misc> pon_passwd get
eqsn: 01234567890000000000
```
## Getting/Setting OMCI hardware version (ME 256)
This setting must be changed with the `misc` CLI option and the `eqvid set "<hwver>"` command.
For example, if the hardware version is like `abc123`:
```
#ONT/system/misc> eqvid set "abc123"
```
The `get` option can also be used to retrieve the configured hardware version.
```
#ONT/system/misc> eqvid get
eqvid: abc123
```
## Getting/Setting OMCI vendor ID (ME 256)
This setting must be changed with the `misc` CLI option and the `vendor set "<vendor>"` command.
For example, if the vendor is like `GPON`:
```
#ONT/system/misc> vendor set "GPON"
```
The `get` option can also be used to retrieve the configured PON S/N vendor field:
```
#ONT/system/misc> vendor get
vendor: GPON
```
In this ONT, the MIB OntG Vendor can be set to a value different from the S/N vendor value:
```
#ONT/system/misc> eqsn get
eqsn: GPONabcd1234
#ONT/system/misc> vendor get
vendor: ZTEG
```
# Advanced settings
See the link below for other MiniShell commands.
- [MiniShell command tree](/xgs/ont-fs-XGS-ONU-25-20NI-cli)
## Transferring files to the stick
Stick's busybox (Linux shell) supports netcat and TFTP, which allow to send and receive files:
```
# tar cf - localfile | nc remotehost-ip 10000
```
```
# tftp -r remotefile.bin -g remotehost-ip
```
## Backup of all partition
To obtain a backup, use the `dd` command to save it on `/tmp`,
or use the `cat` command to transfer it via netcat.
```
# dd if=/dev/mtdX of=/tmp/mtdX.bin
# tftp -l /tmp/mtdX.bin -r remotehost-ip
```
```
# cat /dev/mtdX | nc remotehost-ip 10000
```
When partition writing to the stick, use the flash command set.
(Do not write with the `dd` command because ECC is enabled).
```
# flash_eraseall /dev/mtdX
# flashcp -v targetfile /dev/mtdX
```
## Setting management IP
To change the management IP, set it with the `misc` CLI option and the `admin_ip set <ip>` command.
For example, if the management IP is like `192.168.1.1`:
```
#ONT/system/misc> admin_ip set 192.168.1.1
```
To change the management IP netmask, set it with the `misc` CLI option and the `admin_mask set <netmask>` command.
For example, if the management IP mask is like `255.255.255.0`:
```
#ONT/system/misc> admin_mask set 255.255.255.0
```

SATURN# spi_nand write 0x81000000 0x000003b00000 0x2800000
```
When the stick is turned back on, it will boot with the transferred kernel and rootfs.
# Known Bugs
- There is a bug in the `register_id` command in the `misc` CLI option that changes the value of `pon_passwd` (LOID Password) instead of `register_id` (PLOAM).
