iConverter 2FXM2 Standalone Module QUICK START GUIDE
The Omnitron iConverter
®
2FXM2 media
converter and Network Interface Device (NID)
provides Fast Ethernet (100BASE-FX) fiber-to-
fiber media conversion.
The 2FXM2 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
2FXM2 to operate as a managed demarcation
point at the customer premises and network
edge, offering service provisioning functions, such as Quality of Service and Bandwidth
Control (rate-limiting) capabilities.
The 2FXM2 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 Standalone Module and Connect Cables
3) Configure Module via Command Line Interface
4) Verify Operation
1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES
DIP-SWITCH BANK 1
SW1 - PAUSE ENABLE
When the Pause Enable
DIP-switch is in the DOWN
“Off” position (factory
default), the 2FXM2
disables the fiber ports’
ability to send and receive
Pause frames during
network congestion.
Setting this DIP-switch to the UP “On” position, enables the 2FXM2 to receive Pause
frames from its link partner. This enables the 2FXM2 to stop transmitting traffic to its
link partner and store incoming frames from the other port in the internal buffer until the
congestion clears. If the internal buffer of the 2FXM2 becomes congested, it will transmit
a Pause frame to its link partner.
SW2 - FIBER PORT 1 FULL/HALF DUPLEX
Setting this DIP-switch to Half-Duplex “HDX” facilitates a connection that supports

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 2FXM2 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.
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.
