2GXM2 Plug-in Module QUICK START GUIDE

The Omnitron

iConverter

®

2GXM2 Network Interface Device

(NID) with integrated management provides Gigabit Ethernet

(1000BASE-X) SFP fiber-to-fiber media conversion.
The 2GXM2 conforms to Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) fiber

standards to support Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) in Metropolitan and

Enterprise LAN networks. Built-in Operation, Administration

and Maintenance (OAM) functionality enables the 2GXM2

to operate as a managed demarcation point at the customer

premises and network edge, offering Quality of Service

capability.
The 2GXM2 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 2GXM2 Plug-in

module, access Omnitron’s documentation download web page to view all relevant

documents:

IMPORTANT

The firmware of the Network Management Module (NMM or NMM2) and

NetOutlook must be the same or greater than the firmware on the 2GXM2 for

the module to be managed.

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, Sw2 - aUTO/MaNUal NEGOTIaTION

“aN/MaN”
When the DIP-switch is in the LEFT Auto-

Negotiate “AN” position (factory default), the Port

automatically determine the duplex and pause

modes of the connecting fiber optic devices. If

the connecting fiber optic devices cannot provide the proper signal to indicate their own

mode of operation, the DIP-switch should be set to the RIGHT Manual “MAN” position.

See Figure B on page 2 for more information.
NOTE: when Port 1 operates in auto-Negotiation mode, the port advertises for

Pause. when the Fiber optic ports (Port 1 and Port 2) operates in Manual mode,

Pause is not advertised.

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 2GXM2 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 LEDs

indicate the fiber optic

connections have 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.
