c. Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or

1000BASE-T Ethernet device.

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

3) CONFIGURE MODULE VIA COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the GX/TM 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 GX/TM 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

Stop Bits

Data Bits

Parity

57,600

1

8

NONE

Hardware Flow Control NONE

Once connected, press <ENTER> to bring up a command line prompt on the attached

PC.

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 GX/TM 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.

iConverter GX/TM Plug-in Module QUICK START GUIDE

The Omnitron

iConverter

® GX/TM Plug-In media converter and

Network Interface Device (NID) provides 10BASE-T ,100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T UTP to 1000BASE-FX fiber media conversion.

The GX/TM conforms to Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) fiber standards to support Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) Metropolitan access and Enterprise LAN networks. Built-in Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) functionality enables the GX/TM to operate as a managed copper demarcation point at the customer premises and network edge, offering Quality of Service capabilities.

The GX/TM module can be managed using Omntron’s

NetOutlook

TM

SNMP Management Software, 3rd Party SNMP Client, Telnet or the

Command Line Interface (CLI).

For more information, including the complete User Manual on the GX/TM Plug-in module, access Omntron’s documentation download web page to view all relevant documents: http://www.omnitron-systems.com/downloads.php

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 - FIBER AUTO/MANUAL NEGOTIATION

“AN MAN”

When this DIP-switch is in the LEFT “AN” position

(factory default), the fiber optic port automatically determines the duplex and 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 fiber optic “Man” position.

Bank 2

Bank 1

Switch 8

NOTE: When the fiber optic port operates in

Auto-Negotiation mode, the port advertises for

Figure A: DIP-Switch Locations

Pause. When the fiber optic port operates in Manual mode, Pause is disabled.

NOTE: The fiber optic port of the GX/TM is always in Full-Duplex mode.

SW2 - UTP AUTO/MANUAL NEGOTIATION “AN/MAN”

When this DIP-switch is in the LEFT UTP “AN” position (factory default), the UTP port automatically determines the Speed, Duplex and Pause mode of the connecting UTP device. If the connecting UTP device cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation, then the DIP-switch should be set to “Man” position. Manual mode requires manually configuring the UTP port to match the Speed and Duplex mode of the connecting UTP device using the “10/100” and “FDX/HDX” DIP-switches.

SW3 - UTP SPEED GIGABIT/10-100 “1000/10-100”

When the “1000/10-100” DIP-switch is in the “1000” position (factory default), the

UTP port always operates in 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation mode. The UTP port auto-negotiates to a speed of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps with the connected UTP device. In this mode, the UTP “AN/Man” and UTP “100/10” DIP-switches have no effect.

When the “1000/10-100” DIP-switch is in the “10-100” position and the UTP “AN/Man”

DIP-switch is in the “Man” position, the UTP port operates at the Speed, Duplex and

Pause modes set by the “100/10”, “FDX/HDX” and “Off/Pause” DIP-switches.

When the “1000/10-100” DIP-switch is in the “10-100” position and the UTP “AN/Man”

DIP-switch is in the “AN” position, the UTP port maximum auto-negotiation setting for the Speed, Duplex and Pause mode is determined by the “100/10,” “FDX/HDX” and “Off/ Pause” DIP-switches.

SW4 - UTP 100/10MBPS “100/10”

When the UTP “AN/Man” DIP-switch (described above) is in the manual “Man” position, the “100/10" DIP-switch determines the speed of operation for the UTP port. Set the

“100/10” DIP-switch to match the speed of the connected UTP device.

SW5 - UTP FULL/HALF DUPLEX “FDX/HDX”

Setting the UTP Full/Half-Duplex DIP-switch to the LEFT UTP “FDX” position (factory default) forces the UTP port to operate in Full-Duplex. Setting this DIP-switch to

“HDX” forces the UTP port to operate in Half-Duplex. Adjust the UTP Full/Half-Duplex

DIP-switch to match the duplex mode of the connected UTP device.

SW6, SW7, SW8 - LINK MODES

These three DIP-switches configure the link mode settings. The following table details possible Link Mode DIP-switch configurations.

DIP-SWITCH BANK 2

SW1, SW2 - BACKPLANE ENABLE

When the DIP-switch is in the LEFT “DS” position (factory default), the Backplane Port of the GX/TM 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 - PAUSE DISABLE/ENABLE “OFF/PAUSE”

When the UTP port is operating in Auto-Negotiation mode, it advertises for Pause based on the Pause Disable/Enable “Off/Pause” DIP-Switch setting. Setting the Pause

DIP-switch to the “Off” position

(factory default) forces the UTP port

Switch Left (Factory Default) Right

SW1 A-DS: Port A Disabled A-EN: Port A Enabled to negotiate to No Pause. Setting this

Figure C: DIP-Switch Bank 2 mode, the port advertises for

Pause. When the Fiber optic port operates in Manual mode, Pause is disabled.

SW4 - MASTER/SLAVE

When the GX/TM module is installed in a chassis with an iConverter Network

Management Module (NMM), 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 GX/TM 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.

SW5 - UTP 10/100 AUTO/MANUAL CROSSOVER “AX/MANX”

The 10/100 Auto Crossover feature is only available when the UTP port is operating in

10/100 Auto-Negotiation mode.

When “AX/MANX” DIP-switch is set to “AX” (factory default), the 10/100 UTP Auto

Crossover feature is enabled. When it is set to “MANX”, the UTP Manual Crossover

DIP-switch is enabled to allow the user to manually set either a Crossover or

Straight-through connection.

SW6 - UTP MANUAL CROSSOVER “=/X”

When this DIP-switch is set to “MANX”, the UTP Manual Crossover Switch is enabled.

Set this DIP-switch to “=” (factory setting) when connecting the UTP port to a workstation, or set it to “X” when connecting to a hub or switch. Only use this setting in 10/100Mbps

Manual negotiation mode.

SW7, SW8 - RESERVED

These DIP-switches are 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. When using a GX/TM SFP model (8939-0), insert the SFP Fiber transceiver into the Port 1 SFP receptacle on the GX/TM.

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