Hi Afrihost Team,

@AfriGuy, @Afrigirl

Do you know if it's possible to use SPF port directly on my existing router to drop the need to have the additional CPE/ONT on premise, if so what would I need to do to get that arranged,

Purely convenience of dropping unnecessary equipment from the space, I don't see that the CPE is actually providing much value besides providing a MAC address and maybe some settings, could be wrong,

Thanks,
Robert

The CPE/ONT does not belong to you. It is the property of Vumatel.

It cannot be used, unfortunately.
 
It's possible if you're on Active Ethernet, they might not be happy about it, but use at your own discretion:

Thread 'Vumatel Trenched : Eliminate the CPE'

This is a post about how to replace the function of the Raycore (CP9) CPE supplied with Vumatel trenched installs.
There are a few reasons why:
  • One less device to keep powered
  • One less point of failure
  • Fewer cables
  • Easy to perform and automate SFP module resets
  • Access to SFP module stats
  • Easy to extend or move fibre with standard cable/flyleads/connectors
If you have already done something like this, please post your experiences here.

Inside the top section of the Raycore is a SPF cage containing a standard BiDi module, in my case a DirekTronik 1.25G 20km Tx=1310...

To add on to this, only their older AE CPEs support this. The newer models do not have removable SFP modules
