Omnitron Systems Technology iConverter GXTM Standalone Quick Start - Manual

iConverter GX/TM Standalone Module QUICK START GUIDE
The Omnitron iConverter ® GX/TM media converter and
Network Interface Device (NID) provides 10BASE-T,
100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T UTP to 1000BASE-FX
fiber media conversion.
The GX/TM conforms to Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM)
fiber standards to support Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX)
Metropolitan access and Enterprise LAN networks. Built-in Operation, Administration
and Maintenance (OAM) functionality enables the GX/TM to operate as a managed
copper demarcation point at the customer premises and network edge, offering Quality
of Service capabilities.
The GX/TM can be managed using Omntron’s NetOutlook TM SNMP Management
Software, 3rd Party SNMP Client, Telnet or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

module, access Omntron’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 - FIBER AUTO/MANUAL NEGOTIATION “AN MAN”
When this DIP-switch is in the
DOWN “AN” position (factory
default), the fiber optic port
automatically determines the
duplex and pause modes of the
connecting fiber optic device.
If the connecting fiber optic
device cannot provide the
proper signal to indicate its own
mode of operation, the DIP-
switch should be set to the UP fiber optic “Man” position.
NOTE: The fiber optic port of the GX/TM is always in Full-Duplex mode.
SW2 - UTP AUTO/MANUAL NEGOTIATION “AN/MAN”
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN UTP “AN” position (factory default), the UTP
port automatically determines the Speed, Duplex and Pause mode of the connecting
UTP device. If the connecting UTP device cannot provide the proper signal to indicate
its own mode of operation, then the DIP-switch should be set to the UP “Man” position.
Manual mode requires manually configuring the UTP port to match the Speed and Duplex
mode of the connecting UTP device using the “10/100” and “FDX/HDX” DIP-switches.
position before insertion.
c. Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or
1000BASE-T Ethernet device.
d. Connect an 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. 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.
3) CONFIGURE MODULE VIA COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the GX/TM 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 GX/TM 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.
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 GX/TM User Manual for complete
information.
4) VERIFY OPERATION
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
modules is receiving power.
The Fiber Optic link LED
indicates the fiber optic
connection has 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.
The UTP link LED indicates the module has established a connection across its UTP
port.
