GX/TM2
10/100/1000BASE-T UTP to 1000BASE-X Media Converter and Network Interface Device
The iConverter GX/TM2 conforms to the Ethernet in the
First Mile (EFM) ber standards to support Fiber-to-the-X
Metropolitan and Enterprise LAN networks. The GX/TM2
provides intelligent, securely managed service demarcation
at the customer premises, offering Quality of Service and
enhanced Bandwidth Control (rate-limiting) capabilities.
The GX/TM2 features built-in Operations, Administration
and Maintenance (OAM) with comprehensive performance
monitoring, fault detection and provisioning.
The GX/TM2 is available as a compact standalone unit or as
a chassis plug-in module. The hot-swappable GX/TM2 plug-in
module can be mounted in a 19 or 5-Module chassis with any
combination of redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can
also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or DC powered chassis, or
in a 1-Module chassis with AC or DC power input.
The plug-in module can manage other modules in the same
chassis and operate as a managed 10/100/1000 media
converter. It features two Gigabit Ethernet backplane ports
for connectivity to adjacent modules in a chassis for multi-port
and multi-service congurations.
The standalone GX/TM2 is available as a tabletop or wallmount unit. The tabletop model can be DIN-rail mounted using
an optional DIN-rail mounting kit. Both the tabletop and the
wall-mount models are DC powered and are available with an
external AC/DC power adapter or a terminal connector for DC
power. The GX/TM2 standalone unit combines management
capability with a compact chassis for deployment at the
demarcation point.

ADVANCED FEATURES
Fiber Port Options
GX/TM2 models with xed-ber connectors are available with
multimode (MM) dual ber, single-mode (SM) dual ber and
single-mode single-ber (SF) options. They support ST, SC
and LC connectors with distances up to 550m over MM ber,
140km over SM ber and 40km over SF. The GX/TM2 Small
Form Pluggable (SFP) model supports a wide variety of SFP
transceivers available in 20nm increments from 1270nm to
1610nm to support FTTX and CWDM applications.
Link Modes
The GX/TM2 features multiple, user-selectable link fault
detection modes, including Link Fault Propagation, Remote
Fault Detection and Asymmetrical Fault Detection. These Link
Modes provide rapid fault detection and isolation by monitoring
the state of the cabling hardware, and operate independently
of the network management.
Tag VLAN, Port VLAN and QoS
The iConverter GX/TM2 supports the IEEE 802.1Q tag Virtual
Local Area Network (VLAN) packet tagging and untagging
(including Q-in-Q) and the 802.1p Quality of Service priority
standards.
GX/TM2 VLAN 802.1ad tunneling technology enables service
providers to offer their customers E-Line and E-LAN services
(via Ethernet Virtual Circuit or EVC), which connect multiple
business LANs at different locations and make their networks
appear to be on the same local network. Q-in-Q Service tags
transparently transport customer network trafc across the
service provider network, isolating it from other customer and
service provider management trafc.
GX/TM2 Port VLAN enables the ability to specify and restrict
trafc ow between the ber, UTP, backplane and management
ports.
The 802.1p prioritization standard enables delivery of Quality
of Service (QoS) to high-priority, real-time applications such
as voice and video over Ethernet.
Port and optical performance statistics reporting provides
the ability to monitor customer bandwidth utilization, network
performance and the link signal quality for each individual port.
IEEE 802.3ah Operations, Administration and Maintenance
The GX/TM2 supports the IEEE 802.3ah OAM standard,
including Fault Detection, Performance Monitoring and Remote
Loopback.
Fault Detection
The GX/TM2 detects and indicates link failures, dying gasp and
other critical events. The GX/TM2 also supports Unidirectional
Link Fault Detection that indicates faults in either direction of
the ber link.
Performance Monitoring
802.3ah Performance Monitoring tools are used for the
detection and notication of link performance (quality) faults.
Ethernet data performance can deteriorate slowly before
disrupting service, and the GX/TM2 allows the setting of errorper-second thresholds. Once the pre-set error threshold is
exceeded, an event notication is generated that provides
early indication of a problem that may be resolved prior to
loss of service.
Remote Loopback
Remote Loopback is used for fault localization and link
performance testing. When a GX/TM2 port is in loopback
mode, all received service trafc is looped and transmitted
back unaltered. The statistics from the GX/TM2 port and the
remote link partner can be compared for consistency.
METRO ETHERNET ACCESS
Port Bandwidth Control and Port Access Control
The enhanced Bandwidth Control feature supports levels of
bandwidth limiting between the ber and UTP ports in 64Kbps
increments from 64K to Full Line Speed.
The GX/TM2 features Port Access Control which blocks user
service while maintaining the network link. Port Access Control
enables the service provider to control user access while
maintaining port conguration for easy disabling or enabling
of customer service. Port Access Control provides enterprise
administrators the capability to improve network security by
controlling port access when the port is not in use.
Port Statistics and Optical Performance Statistics
The GX/TM2 supports reporting of utilization, port and optical
performance statistics. Port statistics are available for 38
different variables for the UTP and ber ports. Additionally,
full optical performance statistics are available on SFP ber
transceivers with a digital diagnostic bus.
iConverter GX/TM2
At the Central Ofce, the GX/TM2 plug-in module is installed
in a managed iConverter 19-Module chassis for high-density
ber distribution from an UTP switch equipment. At Customer
Premises 1 and 2, GX/TM2 standalone NIDs provide a ber
uplink to a single copper port for intelligent demarcation of
Ethernet services.

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The GX/TM2 with integrated management provides
comprehensive remote configuration and performance
monitoring. iConverter management reduces operational
expenditures by keeping truck rolls to a minimum through
remote provisioning, unidirectional fault detection, trap
notication and loopback capabilities.
iConverter management is available out-of-band via IP-Less
protocol using the 802.3ah OAM channel or Omnitron’s Secure
OAM channel, or in-band using SNMP or Telnet.
Management is accessed via Omnitron’s NetOutlook® SNMP
Network Management Software with an intuitive Graphical User
Interface, or third party SNMP software. The Telnet and CLI
management interfaces are also supported, and utilize an easy
to use, menu-driven interface. The CLI interface is accessed via
a Serial Console Port or Telnet, that provides local conguration
and allows for rmware updates. Additionally, the port can be
connected to a serial modem to provide an alternative remote
management path.
IP-Based Management
The GX/TM2 can be managed through IP protocols, SNMPv1,
SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 and Telnet. The IP address of the GX/
TM2 can be user-dened or resolved through the DHCP host
on the network. The IP protocols for management access can
be enabled or disabled individually or as a group. Access to
the management is protected by password authentication.
SMNPv3 strengthens secure access to devices by a
combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over the
network. Management VLAN can also be dened to separate
management trafc from customer trafc.
802.3ah and Secure OAM Management Channels
When utilizing a Remote OAM management channel (Secure
IP-less or 802.3ah), the NID at the Customer Premises is
securely managed by its ber link partner located at the Central
Ofce or Point of Presence. The management network IP
address is not available to the customer network and is isolated
by the iConverter Network Management Module (NMM2) in the
19-Module Chassis at the Central Ofce.
A management processor on the GX/TM2 in the 19-Module
Chassis isolates the encrypted management data from the
customer data and communicates with the NMM2 via a separate
management backplane bus. Management trafc on the user
data lines is IP-less and carried on a securely encrypted data
channel to protect the management from unauthorized access.
The chassis at the Central Ofce requires only a single IP
address to manage itself and all of the connected remote
chassis managed by the Remote OAM channel. This is the ideal
conguration for networks that separate secure management
trafc from the service (customer) trafc on different networks,
or when management IP addresses are at a premium.
