can you share the docs/links you found?
if it is really sha1 then Alcatel maybe used some obfuscation like splitting the hash, reverse the content and the hashparts itself, adding a fixed salt or a generic one like mac-adress or similar
to figure out how, well this is called reverse engineering and would take some time, maybe someone else already did this, most security researchers would start with the firmware of the router and try to figure out how passwort hashing is done
