1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Omnitron iConverter® 2GXM Network Interface Device (NID) with integrated management provides Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-X) fiber-to-fiber media conversion. It is also a managed optical switch that functions as a fiber repeater performing the Three Rs: Retiming, Reamplification and Reshaping of the fiber optic signal.
The 2GXM conforms to Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) fiber standards to support Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) Metropolitan and Enterprise LAN networks. 2GXM NIDs are used to provide managed demarcation points at the customer premises and network edge, offering Quality of Service capabilities.
The IP-based remote management of the 2GXM can be accessed by Omnitron’ s NetOutlook® SNMP Network Management Software, third-party SNMP clients and Telnet. The management IP address is configured manually or as a DHCP client in the configuration menu. IP-less remote management is supported via
802.3ah OAM or Secure OAM protocol. A menu-driven CLI is accessible via Telnet, serial console port, or a modem connection to the serial console port.
IMPORTANT
This manual provides information on the installation and configuration of the module using the command line interface (serial console). For ongoing network management, Omnitron Systems recommends
NetOutlook, an SNMP-based Network Management Software. NetOutlook provides an efficient, user-friendly way to configure, monitor and manage devices installed
on a single network or on a series of networks by providing an intuitive graphical display with real-time status and alarm (trap) information. The user can easily manage iConverter equipment on a large Enterprise network or Metropolitan Area network (MAN) from a single location without the need of additional resources.
The firmware of the Network Management Module (NMM) and NetOutlook must be the same or greater than the firmware on the 2GXM for the module to be managed.

1.1.1 Advanced Features

The 2GXM features Port VLAN, Tag VLAN, Provider VLAN and QoS prioritization which are defined in the IEEE 802.1Q, 802.1ad and 802.1p specifications. Ethernet V irtual Connections can be configured with Provider VLAN to support E-Line and E-LAN connections on Metro Ethernet Networks.
Access to the management control can be restricted with the Port VLAN and Tag VLAN features, helping to prevent Denial-Of-Service (DoS) and unauthorized management access.
Other advanced features include:
Real-time MIB statistics reporting (38 variables) 802.3ah OAM and Extensions
Port Access Control cNode Level 1 Agent
SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 Refer to the appropriate sections for configuration information.

2.0 PORT STRUCTURE

2.1 OVERVIEW

The front panel of the 2GXM provides access to the management (serial console) and fiber ports. The fiber ports are SFP supporting 1000BASE-FX transceivers. The plug-in module features two additional Ethernet ports for connectivity via the chassis backplane.

2.1.1 Management Port

PI SA
The 2GXM features a Serial RS-232 Console Port (aka Craft Interface) which can be connected to a computer for initial setup and configuration. The Serial Console Port is accessed through the mini DIN-6 female DCE interface. Connect the interface to a computer’s DB-9 serial port using the mini DIN-6 male to DB-9 female cable adapter (Part # 8082-0), which is included with the 2GXM.
An optional DB-9 male to female straight-through serial cable is available for extension (Part # 8081-3).

2.1.2 Fiber Ports

PI SA
The fiber interface supports the 1000BASE-X protocol. The fiber interface operates in auto-negotiation or manual mode and supports full duplex operation. The fiber port can be enabled or disabled via network management. A port disabled with the Port Access Control feature will still connect and allow 802.3ah OAM or IP-less (secure) OAM communication, but blocks normal data traffic.

2.1.3 Backplane Ethernet Ports

PI
The plug-in module supports two additional 10/100Mbps Ethernet Backplane Ports. The Backplane Ports A and B allow Ethernet data connectivity between adjacent modules in an iConverter chassis. The two backplane ports can be disabled or enabled via a DIP-switch or network management.
The iConverter 19-Module, 5-Module, 2-Module and 1-Module Redundant Chassis backplanes provide ethernet data connectivity between adjacent slots or ports. The A and B backplane ports connect the slots as illustrated.

3.2.2.1 SW1 - Backplane Port A Enabled “A-DS/A-EN”
When the DIP-switch is in the Left “A-DS” position (factory default), Backplane Port A of the 2GXM is isolated from the chassis Backplane. When the DIP-switch is in the Right “A-EN” position, Backplane Port A of the 2GXM is enabled. This port allows Ethernet Backplane connectivity to an adjacent module via the chassis Backplane Port A. See the backplane illustrations in Section 2.1.3.
3.2.2.2 SW2 - Backplane Port B Enabled “B-DS/B-EN”
When the DIP-switch is in the Left “B-DS” position (factory default), Backplane Port B is isolated from the chassis Backplane. When the DIP-switch is in the Right “B-EN” position, Backplane Port B is enabled. This port allows Ethernet Backplane connectivity to an adjacent module via the chassis Backplane Port B. See the backplane illustrations in Section 2.1.3.
3.2.2.3 SW3 - Pause Disable/Enable “Off/On”
When the Pause enable/disable DIP-switch is in the Left “Off” position (factory default), Port 2 of the 2GXM does not send, receive and/or react to Pause frames during network congestion. Setting this DIP­switch to the Right “On” position enables Port 2 of the 2GXM to send, receive and/or react to Pause frames to/from its link partner. This enables the 2GXM to stop transmitting traffic to its link partner and store incoming frames from the other port in the internal buffer until the congestion clears. If the internal buffer of the 2GXM becomes congested, it will transmit a Pause frame to its link partner.
NOTE: When Port 1 operates in Auto-Negotiation mode, the port advertises for Pause. When the Fiber optic ports (Port 1 and Port 2) operate in Manual mode, Pause is disabled.
3.2.2.4 SW4 - Master/Slave Auto-Select and Slave-Only “M/SL / SL
When multiple management modules such as the iConverter Network Management Module (NMM) and the 2GXM (or multiple self-managed modules such as 2GXM) are installed in the same chassis, only one management module can act as the chassis master. The master management module has the ability to make changes to the settings of the other modules in the chassis, while the slave management modules cannot make the changes. If an NMM is installed in the chassis, the NMM will always be the master, otherwise the lowest slot number with a management module installed will become chassis master.
When this DIP-switch is in the Left “M/SL” position (factory default), the assignment of mastership is automatically negotiated by the installed management modules. T o designate a specific management module as the master when no NMM is installed in the chassis, set the DIP-switch on the master module to the Left “M/SL” position, and set the other installed management modules’ DIP-switches to the Right “SL” position to enable Slave-Only mode.
Only the chassis master can change configuration settings of other modules.
3.2.2.5 SW3, SW5, SW6, SW7, SW8 - Reserved
These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the LEFT position (factory default).
NOTE: DIP-switches marked Reserved must be kept in the Left (factory default) position.

3.3 INST ALLING PLUG-IN MODULES AND CONNECTING CABLES

PI
a. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in the chassis. Align the module with the installation
guides and ensure that the module is firmly seated against the backplane. Secure the module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis front. Verify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating the chassis is powered).
SA
a. The 2GXM standalone Network Interface Device (NID) is available in tabletop and wall-mounting
models. For wall-mounting, attach the NID to a wall, backboard or other flat surfaces. For tabletop installations, place the unit on a flat level surface. Attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the NID to prevent the unit from sliding. Make sure the unit is placed in a safe, dry and secure location.
To power the unit using the AC/DC adapter, connect the AC/DC adapter to the AC outlet. Then connect the barrel plug at the end of the wire on the AC/DC adapter to the 2.5mm DC barrel connector (center-positive) on the unit. Confirm that the unit has powered up properly by checking the power status LED located on the front of the unit.
To power the unit using a DC power source, prepare a power cable using a two-conductor insulated wire (not supplied) with a 14 AWG gauge minimum. Cut the power cable to the length required. Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires. Connect the power cables to the 2GXM standalone unit by fastening the stripped ends to the DC power connector.
Connect the power wires to the DC power source. The Power LED should indicate the presence of power.
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive and negative connections. Use the
same color assignment for the connection at the DC power source.
NOTE: If mounting with a safety ground attachment, use the safety ground screw at the r ear of
the unit.
PI SA
b. Insert the SFP Fiber transceivers into the Port 1 and Port 2 SFP receptacles on the 2GXM.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed (up) position before
insertion.
c. Connect the appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the fiber port of the installed module.
It is important to ensure that the transmit (Tx) is attached to the receive side of the device at the other end and the receive (Rx) is attached to the transmit side. When using single-fiber (SF) media converter models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength on the other. Based on this guideline, single fiber SFP fiber transceiver models must be used in pairs, such as the 7214-1 matched with the 7215-1.
NOTE: In order to support Remote OAM Management Mode, Port 1 of the 2GXM must be connected to the Port 1 on the 2GXM or link partner.

3.4 CONFIGURE THE MODULE VIA COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

PI SA
To configure, attach the 2GXM to a DB-9 serial (RS-232) equipped computer with terminal emulation software such as HyperT erminal. The 2GXM Serial Console Port (DCE) is a mini DIN-6 female connector which can be changed to a DB-9 connector with the included adapter (Part #8082-0). Attach the ends of a serial cable to the serial port of the PC and the Serial Console Port of the 2GXM. This is a standard asynchronous serial interface. The pin-outs are illustrated below.
Serial Connector Pin Outs
Start HyperTerminal and select the correct COM Port in the HyperTerminal “Connect To:” window. Set the PC’s serial port to the following: Bits Per Second: 57,600 Stop Bits: 1 Data Bits: 8 Parity: NONE Hardware Flow Control: NONE

The 2GXM module supports several management options. Option 18 configures how the module will communicate to its remote partner. ‘Auto Secure OAM’ (option 2) and ‘Secure OAM’ (option 4) uses Omnitron’s proprietary secure encrypted management channel. ‘Auto Secure OAM’ will force the remote partner to communicate using the Secure OAM protocol while ‘Secure OAM’ will only attempt to communicate with the remote partner over the secure protocol. The management channel can support IP or IP-less connectivity based on the configuration of the ‘IP Protocol State’, option 17. ‘Auto ah OAM’ (option 3) and ‘ah OAM’ (option 5)’ conforms to the IEEE 802.3ah specification. ‘Auto ah OAM’ will force the remote partner to communicate using the ah OAM protocol while ‘ah OAM’ will only attempt to communicate with the remote partner over the ah protocol. This option provides an industry standard method of fault detection and monitoring. The management channel supports both IP and IP-less connectivity based on the configuration, option 17 and 18.

4.3.3 802.3ah Parameters

The 802.3ah parameters can be monitored and/or configured in the 802.3ah Control screen.
802.3ah OAM State - The 802.3ah OAM State turns 802.3ah processing on or of f for the selected port. When the port is configured as “Disabled” it will not respond to OAMPDUs (OAM Protocol Data Units). They will be dropped by the processor and not acted upon. When the port is configured as “Enabled”, it will respond to and be involved in the Discovery process and other supported 802.3ah
Page 29
OAM functions.
802.3ah OAM Mode - The 802.3ah OAM Mode sets the selected port to “Passive” or “Active” configuration mode. In “Passive” mode the port cannot initiate Discovery, send Variable Requests or initiate Loopback Mode. It can observe and report only the port status of its 802.3ah enabled remote partner . An “Active” port can initiate Discovery, send Variable Requests and initiate loopback mode.
Loopback Mode - The Loopback Mode turns loopback operations “On” or “Off”. When Loopback Mode is set to “Off”, the port of the 802.3ah enabled local device will not initiate Loopback operations. It can respond to loopback commands from its 802.3ah enabled remote partner if set to “Passive” or “Active”. When Loopback Mode is set to “On”, the port of the 802.3ah enabled local device will initiate Loopback operations and set the 802.3ah enabled remote partner into loopback. In this mode, the 802.3ah enabled local device will not respond to any other configuration changes until its port is set to “Off.”
Loopback Mode Timeout (sec) - The Loopback Mode T imeout field controls the length of time that the port will be set to Loopback “On” mode. Loopback can be set between 0 and 300 seconds. The 0 setting disables the timer.

4.3.5 Port VLAN

The flow of data on the module is controlled by configuring the Port VLAN settings. The block diagram illustrates the flow of both the management traffic and the data traffic for a plug-in module (standalone modules do not have backplane access). The data traffic is controlled by a switch matrix which provides complete control of the data traffic. The management traffic is simply enabled or disabled at each port. By default traffic flows between all ports on the module.
Using the Port VLAN settings, data will only be forwarded across the enabled path, unless blocked by one of the other features (Port Access or Tag VLAN). Secure OAM and ah OAM Management data will pass to and from the Management port even if the path has been “disabled”. This allows OAM maintenance functions to always be enabled. Port VLAN control is inactive when Tag VLAN processing is turned on.

4.3.6 Tagged VLAN

The 2GXM supports the IEEE 802.1Q tag VLAN packet tagging and un-tagging and the 802.1p Quality of Service priority standards.
The following parameters are configured for each port:
4.3.6.1 Port Priority (PRI)
This (IEEE 802.1p based) user-specified value of 0 through 7 can be assigned as a QoS priority level (0 being lowest and 7 being highest) to packets ingressing (entering) a port. If no value is specified by the user, a default priority value of “0” is assigned.
The PRI value is always assigned to all untagged packets. T agged packets are assigned the PRI value when the “PVID” option is selected in the “Tagged Packet Use” section.
4.3.6.2 Port VLAN ID (PVID)
This (IEEE 802.1Q based) user-specified value of 0 through 4094 can be assigned as a Port VLAN ID (PVID) to packets ingressing a port. If no value is specified by the user a default PVID value of “2” is assigned.
The PVID value is always assigned to untagged packets. Tagged packets are assigned the PVID value when the “PVID” option is selected in the “Tagged Packet Use” section.
4.3.6.3 Tagged Packet Use
This section defines how tagged packets ingressing a port are processed. Selecting the “PVID” option causes the PRI and PVID user-specified values to be used as the packet’s
VLAN ID (VID) for processing of the packet. Selecting the “TVID” (Tagged VLAN ID) option causes the packet’s original Tag VLAN ID (TVID) and
priority level to be used as the packet’s VLAN ID (VID) for processing of the packet. NOTE:Untagged packets are always assigned the port’ s PRI and PVID values as their VID.
4.3.6.4 Ingress Security
This is a global setting for the module. Selecting the “Low” option allows any packet to ingress a port. Selecting the “High” option allows only packets that are assigned a VLAN ID (VID) value of which this
port is a member (according to the Membership Table) to ingress a port.
4.3.6.5 Egress Policy
Selecting the “untag” option defines how a tagged or untagged packet is processed. A tagged packet will have the top tag removed and an untagged packet will be passed unmodified.
Selecting the “tag” option will tag an untagged packet with the PVID and PRI of the ingress port. A tagged packet will egress without change if PVID is selected or substituted to tag if TVID is selected.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

6.1 OVERVIEW

The 2GXM module has several LED indicators available to assist in the determination of problems. Refer to Section 3.5, Verify Operation, for LED definitions.

6.1.1 Power Issues

Problem:
The Power LED does not illuminate after installation is complete or no LED indicators are ON
Possible Causes:
A. For standalone modules, confirm that the power supply is connected to both the module and the AC or DC power source. If Power LED is still not illuminated, use a voltmeter and check the voltage of the power source (AC/DC converter used with the standalone unit should measure between 9 -15 VDC no load at the barrel connector).
B. For plug-in module, confirm that the chassis is connected to an AC or DC power source. If the Power LED is still not illuminated, remove the module and verify the operation of other modules in the chassis. If power is present and the module will not turn ON, replace the module.
C. The plug-in module requires ~ 7.0 watts (3.3VDC @ 2.1 amps) for normal operation. The AC Power Supply in a 19-Module Chassis can supply ~ 60 watts (3.3VDC @ 18amp). A fully loaded 19-Module chassis of 2GXM modules will require two power supplies for standard operation. This condition will cause the power LED not to illuminate.

6.1.2 Fiber Issues

Problem:
The Fiber Optic link LED does not illuminate after installation is complete.
Possible Causes:
A. Verify the Link Mode selection is set to Link Segment (LS). Until a stable link is established, leave the Link Mode configured for LS. After a Link presence is established, the Link Mode selection can be modified.
B. Confirm that the fiber optic cable is properly connected to the iConverter 2GXM and the remote fiber optic device. Connecting the fiber between the Tx of the far end to the Rx on the near end will cause the P1 LED on the near end to illuminate (only when the link mode is configured for Link Segment). Completing the connection will cause the far end P1 LED to illuminate.
C. Confirm that the fiber cable type matches the fiber transceiver type (multimode, single-mode) on the iConverter 2GXM.
D. If using a dual-fiber model, confirm that the transmitter (Tx) is attached to the receiver side of its link partner, and that the receiver (Rx) is attached to the transmitter. A optical power meter will assist in determining which cable should be connected to the Tx and Rx of the module. To insure proper operation, a minimum of -17dBm to - 28dBm must be present at the fiber optic receiver.
E. If using a single-fiber model, confirm that the Tx wavelength on the iConverter 2GXM matches the Rx of the connected fiber optic device. Single-fiber units transmit and receive at different wavelengths (1510nm/ 1310nm). Verify the model numbers to insure proper compatibility.
NOTE: If corrective actions do not resolve your situation, please contact Omnitron Systems Technical Support.
