AFAIK you have to buy their transceivers, then you can use their
FlexBox to change the programming of the transceivers to be compatible
with $vendor.
In the past you had to buy credits or the Flatrate package in order to
reprogram their transceivers but at the beginning of the year they
announced "Unlimited reprogramming with your FLEXBOX in 2016". So for
at least this year reprogramming is free.
But AFAIK you can't easily reprogram third party transceivers (e.g.
from fiberstore).
I guess if you've an emergency and contact them they could help you to
reprogram pretty much any transceiver, but that would be an exception.
Best Regards,
Freddy
