Looks to me as if that is not an error message but more an informational one. It just states a la "attention: this port uns with a 3rd party transceiver" ;)

This must not neccessarily be a bad thing ;)

...except for if you open a support case and the tech looks into the live machine...if the transceiver is only remotely connected to the problem support will refuse to work with a (unknown) 3rd party transceiver.

Prices are down to reasonable levels, why don't you use FTNT transceivers instead?
