Port of the GX/TM2 is isolated from the

chassis’ Ethernet Backplane. When this

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.
Sw3 - MASTER/SlAVE

When the GX/TM2 module is installed in a chassis with an iConverter management

module such as a 10/100M2, set the 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 GX/TM2 module as the master of the chassis,

set the DIP-switch on the module to the LEFT “M/SL” position, and set the DIP-switch

on the other installed management modules to the RIGHT “SL” position to enable

Slave-Only mode.
Sw4 - RESERVED

This DIP-switch is for factory use only and must always remain in the LEFT position

(factory default).

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/TM2 SFP model (8939N-0), insert the SFP Fiber transceiver into

the Port 1 SFP receptacle on the GX/TM2.

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 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

d. Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or

1000BASE-T Ethernet device.

3) ConFIGURE MoDUlE VIA CoMMAnD lInE InTERFACE

To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the GX/TM2 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/TM2 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:

These three DIP-switches configure the link mode settings. It is recommended to have

link modes DOWN (default) during the initial installation. After the circuit has been tested

and operational, configure the module for the desire mode. For detailed information on

the operation of the different Link Modes, download the application note “
