What could be behind my ONT?

My ISP provides an optical network interface that's the ingress point of my home network and it's got its own admin panel at some arbitrary address. I was messing around with the network configuration and I accidentally ended up with my desktop plugged into that box instead of the router and I found the admin page trying to troubleshoot.

It's secured with an unknown username and password. I'm curious what that device is actually responsible for. Any ideas?
