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 2GXM 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.
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. Af ter a Link presence is established,
the Link Mode selection can be modified.

iConverter 2GXM Standalone Module QUICK START GUIDE

The Omnitron iConverter® 2GXM media
converter and Network Interface Device (NID)
with integrated management provides Gigabit
Ethernet (1000BASE-X) fiber-to-fiber media
conversion.

The 2GXM conforms to Ethernet in the First
Mile (EFM) fiber standards to support Fiber­to-the-X (FTTX) Metropolitan and Enterprise
LAN networks. Built-in Operation,
Administration and Maintenance (OAM)
functionality enables the 2GXM to operate as
a managed demarcation point at the customer premises and network edge, offering
Quality of Service capability.

The 2GXM can be managed using Omnitron’s

NetOutlook

Software, 3rd Party SNMP Client, Telnet or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1) Configure DIP-Switches

2) Install Standalone Module and Connect Cables

3) Configure Module via Command Line Interface

4) Verify Operation

1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES
DIP-SWITCH BANK 1

SW1, SW2 - AUTO/MANUAL NEGOTIATION “AN/MAN”

When the DIP-switch is in the DOWN Auto-Negotiate “AN” position (factory default),
the Port automatically
determine the duplex and
pause modes of the
connecting fiber optic
devices. If the connecting
fiber optic devices cannot
provide the proper signal to
indicate their own mode of
operation, the DIP-switch
should be set to the UP
Manual “MAN” position.
See Figure B on page 2 for more information.

NOTE: When Port 1 operates in Auto-Negotiation mode, the port advertises for
Pause. When the Fiber optic ports (Port 1 and Port 2) operates in Manual mode,
Pause is disabled.

SW3, SW4, SW5 - RESERVED

These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the DOWN
position (factory default).

SW6, SW7, SW8 - LINK MODES

These three DIP-switches configure the link mode settings. The following table details
possible Link Mode DIP-switch configurations. For detailed information on the operation
of the different Link Modes, download the application note “iConverter Link Modes”

2) INST ALL STANDALONE MODULE AND CONNECT CABLES

a. The 2GXM 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 chassis. 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 two­conductor 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 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 rear of the unit.

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
position before insertion.

c. 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
2GXM must be connected to the Port 1 on the 2GXM or link partner.

3) CONFIGURE MODULE VIA COMMAND LINE INTERF ACE

To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the 2GXM 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 2GXM 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 2GXM 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 2GXM will respond with the Management Options screen:
