GX/TM2 Plug-in Module QUICK START GUIDE

The Omnitron

iConverter

®

GX/TM2 Plug-In media converter and

Network Interface Device (NID) provides 10BASE-T ,100BASE-TX
or 1000BASE-T UTP to 1000BASE-FX fiber media conversion.

The GX/TM2 conforms to Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) fiber
standards to support Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) in Metropolitan access
and Enterprise LAN networks. Built-in Operation, Administration
and Maintenance (OAM) functionality enables the GX/TM2 to
operate as a managed demarcation point at the customer premises
and network edge, offering Quality of Service capabilities.

The GX/TM2 module can be managed using Omnitron’s

NetOutlook

TM

SNMP Management Software, third-party SNMP Client,

Telnet or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

For more information, including the complete User Manual on the GX/TM2 Plug-in
module, access Omnitron’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 LEFT “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 RIGHT fiber optic “Man”
position. When in manual mode, no capabilities
are advertised.

NOTE: The fiber optic port of the GX/TM2 is always in Full-Duplex mode.

SW2 - UTP AUTO/MANUAL NEGOTIATION “AN/MAN”
When this DIP-switch is in the LEFT 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 “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.

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/TM2 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
module is receiving power from the
chassis.

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.
