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. Insert the SFP Fiber transceivers into the Port 1 and Port 2 SFP receptacles on the

2GXM2.

NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed

position before insertion.

d. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the SFP fiber ports

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.

NOTE: In order to support Remote OaM Management Mode, Port 1 of the

2GXM2 must be connected to the Port 1 on the 2GXM2 or link partner.

3) CONFIGURE MODUlE VIa COMMaND lINE INTERFaCE

To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the 2GXM2 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 2GXM2 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.

NOTE: The fiber optic ports operate in Full-Duplex mode in both auto and Manual

negotiation modes.
Sw3, Sw4, Sw5 - RESERVED
These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the LEFT

position (factory default).
Sw6, Sw7, Sw8 - lINk MODES
These three DIP-switches configure the link mode settings. The following table details

possible Link Mode DIP-switch configurations. For detailed information on the operation

of the different Link Modes, download the application note “iConverter Link Modes”

available on Omnitron’s web page:

Sw1, Sw2 - BaCkPlaNE ENaBlE
When the DIP-switch is in the LEFT “DS” position (factory default), the Backplane Port

of the 2GXM2 is isolated from the

chassis’ Ethernet Backplane. When

the 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 2GXM2 module is installed in a chassis with an

i

Converter

Network

Management Module (NMM), the DIP-switch must be set to the LEFT “M/SL” position

(factory default). The assignment of mastership is automatically negotiated by the

installed management modules. To designate the 2GXM2 module as the master of

the chassis, set the DIP-switch to the LEFT “M/SL” position, and set the DIP-switches

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

Slave-Only mode.
