Little help with PureFibre topography
Hi, I'm currently a Shaw customer. My Shaw wifi modem is bridged and I use my own networking gear. I'm moving into a building pre-wired for Telus PureFibre and am thinking of switching. I want to keep using my own network gear as with my Shaw setup. When I look into the comms cabinet in the apartment I'm not sure what I'm looking at exactly. I see a white cylindrical device that appears the be the wifi optical modem. I can see the optical cable connecting from the wall (or small plastic device on the wall) to the modem. There are 3 network cables (white plugs) that go from the modem to a patch panel that I assume provides wired network service to the rooms in the apartment (the rooms have CAT5e plugs). There is a yellow plug cable that goes from the WAN/LAN output of the modem to a black box (seems to be a Nokia GPON PNT SFP (G-010s-A)). The Nokia doesn't seem to be connected to anything. Questions: - What is the white optical modem (make/model?) - What is the Nokia black box? What is its function? - Can I disconnect the Nokia and connect my wifi router?
