In the attached picture, on the left there's a thin white box that connects to the fiber outside; there's a fiber connection from it to the black box on the right. A RJ45 connection comes out of the middle bottom of that and goes into a 10Gb ethernet card in my computer. My computer asks for an address via DHCP, and it gets an external IPv4 address. (The only IPv6 address it gets starts with fe80, which means it's link local, so I'm not getting an external IPv6 address.)
Is the box on the left anything other than just a junction box? If it is, what is it called? What is the model name and number of this box? (I haven't found anything on the box that seems obviously that, but I may not have looked in the right place.)
Is the box on the right an ONT?
Since there are just two ethernet ports on the black box (one labelled 10GE, one labelled GE), I'm guessing that this box will not function as a router.
Previously, with the Sonic fiber I had over the Internet connection, there was a modem that could serve as a router. I set it up in passthrough mode, or whatever the right name is for the mode where the computer gets the IP address of the modem and can connect directly to and from the Internet. However, there was still an IP address (I forget exactly what, but looking at the routing tables I could find it, and if memory serves was a 192.168 address) where I could get to an http interface to that modem. Is there something equivalent for the ONT, or whatever the right term for the Sonic black box is? I'd like to take a look at the config, if there is any, to see what's going on in there.
