Omnitron Systems iConverter 2GXM2 Plug-In Module

Omnitron Systems iConverter 2GXM2 Plug-In Module

Product Overview

The iConverter 2GXM2 Network Interface Device (NID) with integrated management provides Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-X) SFP fiber-to-fiber media conversion.

The 2GXM2 has built-in Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) functionality enabling the 2GXM2 to operate as a managed demarcation point at the customer premises and network edge, offering Quality of Service capabilities.

The 2GXM2 supports IPv4 addressing, IP-Less protocol using the 802.3ah OAM channel, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, Telnet and serial console port.

See data sheet for available models.

DIP-Switches

DIP-Switch Bank 1

The location of the DIP-switches is shown in below.

DIP-Switches

The functions of DIP-switch Bank 1 are outlined in below.

Switch	Left (Factory Default)	Right
SW1	**AN:
** Fiber Port 1 Auto	**Man:

DIP-switch BANK 1 Definitions

SW1 – Fiber Port 1 Negotiation “AN/Man”

When this DIP-switch is in the Left “AN” position (factory default), the fiber optic port automatically determines the 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 “Man” position. When Port 1 is set to the “Man” position, no capabilities are advertised.
Gigabit fiber always operate in Full-Duplex mode.

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.

SW1 – Fiber Port 2 Negotiation “AN/Man”

When this DIP-switch is in the Left “AN” position (factory default), the fiber optic port automatically determines the 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 “Man” position. When Port 2 is set to the “Man” position, no capabilities are advertised.

Gigabit fiber always operate in Full-Duplex mode.

SW3, SW4 and 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. It is recommended to have link modes Left (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 “iConverter Link Modes”.

DIP-Switch Bank 2

The functions of DIP-switch Bank 2 are outlined below.

Switch	Left (Factory Default)	Right
SW1	**A-DS:
** Disable Backplane A	**A-EN:

DIP-switch Bank 2 Definitions

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 2XXM2 module is installed in a chassis with an Network Management Module (NMM2), 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 2GXM2 module as the master of the chassis, set the DIP- switch on the module to the Left“M/SL” position, and set the other installed management modules’ DIP-switches 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).

Software Controlled Switch Settings

Additional settings are available via software control.

The following software settings can be controlled via Serial Console/Telnet Console, NetOutlook Management Software or other third-party SNMP-based clients:

DIP-switch Configuration
Port 1 and Port 2 Configuration
1ad Q-in-Q, QoS and Port Access Control
MIB statistics
Bandwidth control (rate limiting)
Configurable Link Fault Propagation modes

The module can be configured by attaching the serial port to a DB-9 serial (RS-232) equipped computer with terminal emulation software such as ProComm or Putty. The Serial Console Port (DCE) is a mini DIN-6 female connector which can be changed to a DB-9 connector with the included adapter. Attach the ends of a serial cable to the serial port of the PC and the Serial Console Port of the module. The port is a standard RS-232 asynchronous serial interface with the following settings.

Bits Per Second 57,600
Stop Bits 1
Data Bits 8
Parity NONE
Hardware Flow Control NONE

The default password is public.

When using Telnet or SNMP, the default IP address for the module is 192.168.1.220.

For more information on using and configuring the Advanced Features, register for access to the NetOutlook Management Software user manual or the 2GXM2 full user manual.

Mounting and Cable Attachment

installed into any chassis in the iConverter family.

Caution: Use proper ESD protection to reduce the risk of damage to your equipment.

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 SFP receptacles on the

NOTE: The release latch of the SFP transceiver must be in the closed (up) position before insertion.

a. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cables to the 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.
