iConverter® 2GXM2
Standalone Module Quick Start

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.

DIP-Switches
DIP-Switch Bank 1
The location of the DIP-switches is shown in below. The functions of DIP- switch Bank 1 are outlined in below.

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-switchshould 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-Negotiationmode, the port advertises for Pause. When the Fiber optic ports (Port 1 and Port 2) operates in Manualmode, 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-switchshould 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 mustalways 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 (omnitron- systems.com)”.

Link Modes

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
• 802.1ad 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.

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

Mounting and Cable Attachment

Caution: Use proper ESD protection to reduce the risk of damage to your equipment.
a. The module is available as a standalone module with integrated wall-mount brackets. Attach the unit to a wall, backboard or other flat surfaces. Make sure the unit is placed in a safe, dry and secure location.

For AC models:
To power the unit using the AC/DC adapter, connect the AC/DC adapter to an AC outlet. Then connect the barrel plug at the end of the wire on the AC/DC adapter to the 2.5mm DC barrel connector (center-positive) on the unit.
Confirm that the unit has powered up properly by checking the power status LED located on the front of the unit.

For DC Models:
To power the unit using a DC power source, prepare a power cable using a two conductor insulated wire (not supplied) with 12AWG to 20AWG thickness. Cut the power cable to the length required. Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable wires. Connect the power cables to the unit by fastening the stripped ends to the DC power connector.

Connect the power wires to the DC power source. The Power LED should indicate the presence of power.
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive and negative connections. Use the same color assignment for the connection at the DC power source.
NOTE: If mounting with a safety ground attachment, use the safety ground screw at the rear of the unit.
b. Insert the SFP fiber transceivers into the SFP receptacles on the module.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP transceiver must be in the closed (up) position before insertion.
d. 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.
