It sounds straight-forward enough, but I have not tested it.

I am not convinced that it is worth it to me personally to invest in business-grade routing infrastructure terminated by an SFP slot over just ordering a consumer-grade Glasfasermodem 2. Nevertheless, interesting to think about.

  • The wall box that Telekom provides you exposes a passive home link socket (Gf-TA).
  • You can order a business-grade Digitalisierungsbox Glasfasermodem from Telekom. It is an SFP module with an integrated GPON ONT that works on both business and home links provided by Telekom. Even though it is meant to be used as an add-on to Telekom’s own Digitalisierungsbox, you can also plug it into your own gateway or server.
  • You enter the PLOAM password (SLID / ONT-Installationskennung) provided by Telekom into the configuration web interface running on the Glasfasermodem.
  • You talk to the Glasfasermodem using PPPoE, very similarly to the way you use a DSL modem on a Telekom DSL link.
