The CLI interface allows for the detailed configuration of the module. It is recommended
to configure the module with an IP address associated with the attached network.
Also, SNMP traphost address should be configured if the module is managed with an
SNMP-based Management System. See the 2FXM2 User Manual for complete
information.
4) VERIFY OPERA TION
Once the module has been
installed and configured per
steps 1 - 3, verify the module
is operational by viewing the
LED indicators.
The Power LED indicates the
module is receiving power
from the chassis.
The Fiber Optic link LEDs
indicate the fiber optic
connections have been
established. 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.

iConverter 2FXM2 Plug-in Module QUICK START GUIDE
The Omnitron iConverter
(NID) with integrated management provides Fast Ethernet
(100BASE-FX) fiber-to-fiber media conversion.
The 2FXM2 conforms to Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) fiber
standards to support Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) Metropolitan and
Enterprise LAN networks. Built-in Operation, Administration
and Maintenance (OAM) functionality enables the 2FXM2 to
operate as a managed demarcation point at the customer
premises and network edge, offering service provisioning
functions, such as Quality of Service and Bandwidth Control
(rate-limiting) capabilities.
The 2FXM2 module can be managed using Omnitron’s
NetOutlook
TM
SNMP Management Software, 3rd Party SNMP-Client, Telnet or the
Command Line Interface (CLI).

module, access Omnitron’s documentation download web page to view all relevant

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1) Configure DIP-Switches
2) Install Module in Chassis and Connect Cables
3) Configure Module via Command Line Interface
4) Verify Operation
1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES
DIP-SWITCH BANK 1
SW1 - PAUSE ENABLE
When the Pause Enable DIP-switch is in the
LEFT “Off” position (factory default), the 2FXM2
disables the fiber ports’ ability to send and
receive Pause frames during network
congestion. Setting this DIP-switch to the
RIGHT “On” position, enables the 2FXM2 to
receive Pause frames from its link partner . This
enables the 2FXM2 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
2FXM2 becomes congested, it will transmit a
Pause frame to its link partner.
SW2 - FIBER PORT 1 FULL/HALF DUPLEX
Setting this DIP-switch to Half-Duplex “HDX” facilitates a connection that supports
Half-Duplex. Setting this DIP-switch to Full-Duplex “FDX” facilitates a connection that

supports Full-Duplex operation.
SW3, SW4 - RESERVED
These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the LEFT
(factory default) position.
SW5 - FIBER PORT 2 FULL/HALF DUPLEX
Setting this DIP-switch to Half-Duplex “HDX” facilitates a connection that supports
Half-Duplex. Setting this DIP-switch to Full-Duplex “FDX” facilitates a connection that
supports Full-Duplex operation.
SW6, SW7, SW8 - LINK MODES
The module supports multiple link modes for fault detection and isolation. Link Segment
should be used for the initial installation of the module. Once installed and operational,
the link mode can be changed. For detailed information on the operation of the different
Link Modes, download the application note “iConverter Link Modes” available on
Omnitron’s web page:

Figure B: DIP-Switch Bank 1
DIP-SWITCH BANK 2
SW1, SW2 - BACKPLANE ENABLE
When the DIP-switch is in the LEFT
“DS” position (factory default), the
Backplane Port of the 2FXM2 is
isolated from the chassis’ Ethernet
Backplane. When the DIP-switch is
in the RIGHT “EN” position, the
Backplane Port is enabled. This
allows Ethernet Backplane
connectivity to an adjacent module
via the chassis Backplane Link “A”
or “B” depending on the switch setting.

SW4 - MASTER/SLAVE
When the 2FXM2 module is installed in a chassis with an
iConverter Network
Management Module (NMM), set DIP-switch to the LEFT “M/SL” position (factory
default). The assignment of mastership is automatically negotiated by the installed
management modules. To designate the 2FXM2 module as the master of the chassis,
set the DIP-switch to the LEFT “M/SL” position, and set the other installed
management modules’ DIP-switches to the RIGHT “SL” position to enable SlaveOnly mode.
SW5, SW6, SW7, SW8 - RESERVED
These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the LEFT
(factory default) position.
2) INST ALL MODULE IN CHASSIS AND CONNECT CABLES
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. V erify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating the
chassis is powered).
b. Insert the SFP Fiber transceivers into the Port 1 and Port 2 SFP receptacles on the
2FXM2.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed
position before insertion.
d. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the SFP fiber ports
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. Single-fiber (SF) media converter models operate in pairs. The TX
wavelength must match the RX wavelength at the other end and the RX wavelength
must match the TX wavelength at the other end.
NOTE: In order to support Remote OAM Management Mode, Port 1 of the
2FXM2 must be connected to the Port 1 on the 2FXM2 or link partner.
3) CONFIGURE MODULE VIA COMMAND LINE INTERF ACE
To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the 2FXM2 RS-232 Console
Port to the COM port of a computer equipped with terminal emulation software such as
HyperTerminal. The Console Port (DCE) is a mini DIN-6 female connector which can
be changed to a DB-9 connector with the included adapter. The 2FXM2 Console Port
is a standard asynchronous serial interface.
Start HyperTerminal and select the correct COM Port in the HyperTerminal “Connect
To:” window. Set the serial port to the following:
Bits Per Second 57,600
Stop Bits 1
Data Bits 8
Parity NONE
Hardware Flow Control NONE
Once connected, press <ENTER> to bring up a command line prompt on the attached
PC. A new 2FXM2 module does not have a password, and will skip the Password
Entry screen and go straight to the Management Options screen. If a password has
been set, the Password Entry screen will be displayed. Type the p assword and press
<ENTER>, the 2FXM2 will respond with the Management Options screen:
