Ubiquiti (Dream Machine SE), second ONT Port vs Splitter... and POTS

Hello.

 

We have a Nokia ONT, and we have a Telephone 'land line' connected to that (POTS port).  We have the ActionTec T3200 and Optik TV.

I'm adding a Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE.  Ultimately I would like to ditch the ActionTec, or perhaps use it as a Basement Suite network - though maybe keeping it all on the DMSE is better(?).

Questions:

1) The optik fibre could go direct into the Dream Machine.  However, I think the only way to maintain the POTS service is with the Nokia ONT, correct?

2) Somewhere on these forums I read that you should be able to get 2 network addresses assigned (one for the T3200, one for the DMSE); I tried connecting the DMSE to the second port on the Nokia - no luck there.  So, the only remedies are either the use of a switch immediately out of the ONT Port 1, or Daisy Chain through the T3200 (with Bridge Mode enabled) to the DMSE.  Is that correct?

3) Somewhere on these forums I recall reading that some folks got their Optik TV to work over their Ubiquiti device by enabling IGMP (service? protocol?) in the Unifi settings (not that I know what that is or where to find it).  Is that correct?

Thanks!
