iConverter 2GXM Plug-in Module QUICK START GUIDE
The Omnitron iConverter
®
2GXM Network Interface Device
(NID) with integrated management provides Gigabit Ethernet
(1000BASE-X) fiber-to-fiber media conversion.
The 2GXM conforms to Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) fiber
standards to support Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) Metropolitan and
Enterprise LAN networks. Built-in Operation, Administration
and Maintenance (OAM) functionality enables the 2GXM to
operate as a managed demarcation point at the customer
premises and network edge, offering Quality of Service
capability.
The 2GXM module can be managed using Omnitron’s
NetOutlook
TM
SNMP Management Software, 3rd Party SNMP
Client, Telnet or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

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 disabled.
NOTE: The fiber optic ports operate in Full-Duplex mode in both Auto and Manual
negotiation modes.

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 2GXM 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.
