Yes. The installers set the GPON SLID which is another completely different number from the RemoteID.
The SLID will only work on one PON port.

Really Jed has it right. The ONT should be LFC supplied and owned gear. Then as a RSP then you can get on with just dot1q tags over PPPoE/IPoE, DEI bits or DHCP Relays�� and the other things that are super easy and never take any complexity to implement.

Adding layer 1 issues ontop of all the other issues sounds like a hiding to nothing. Is installing an ONT really such an issue??
