Omnitron Systems Technology iConverter Gx AN Plugin Module - Manual

iConverter Gx AN Plug-in Module QUICK START
GUIDE
The Omnitron iConverter ® Gx AN Plug-In media converter provides
1000BASE-T UTP to 1000BASE-FX fiber media conversion.
The Gx AN can be used to connect Gigabit file servers to Gigabit
switches and connect switches with Gigabit fiber uplinks.
The Gx AN supports Full/Half-duplex auto and forced negotiation
with both hardware and software manual override controls.
The Gx AN plug-in module can be managed using Omnitron’s
NetOutlook TM SNMP Management Software, 3rd Party SNMP Client,
or with a Network Management Module (NMM) via Telnet or the
Command Line Interface (CLI).

Gx AN Plug-in module, access Omnitron’s documentation download web page to view

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1) Configure DIP-Switches
2) Install Module in Chassis and Connect Cables
3) Verify Operation
1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES
SW1 - Port 1 Auto/Manual Negotiation “AN MAN”
When this DIP-switch is in the Auto-Negotiate “AN” position (factory default), the
fiber optic port is transparent to the network and
allows the end devices connected to the module
to advertise through the module and establish
negotiated settings between the end devices. If
Port 2 (UTP) is not connected, the fiber port will not
be able to establish a fiber link. In the AN mode,
the DIP-switches for Pause, Port 2 (UTP) and link
modes RFD and SFD are ignored.
If two Gx AN modules are linked together and Port
1 is configured for auto-negotiation, the mode
of operation will be determined by the devices
connected to Port 2 (UTP). Port 1 is transparent
to the process.
When this DIP-switch is in the Manual “MAN”
position, the advertised values of Port 2 is
controlled by DIP-switches SW2 through SW5.
2) INSTALL 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. Verify the “Pwr” LED is ON (indicating
the chassis is powered).
b. When using a Gx AN SFP model, insert the SFP Fiber transceiver into the Port 1
SFP receptacle on the Gx AN.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed
position before insertion.
c. Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 cable to a 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) VERIFY OPERATION
Once the module has been installed and configured, per steps 1 and 2, verify the module
is operational by viewing the status of the LED indicators. The table below provides a
description for each LED indicator.
The Power LED indicates the module is receiving power from the chassis.
The Fiber Optic “FO” LED indicates the fiber optic connection between the modules has
been established. A blinking LED indicates the presence of data, an auto-negotiation
problem or a link mode error indication.
The UTP LEDs indicate the module has established a connection across its UTP port.
A blinking LED indicates the presence of data.
