2-Port Fiber to Copper GM4

Network Interface Device

Quick Start Guide

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This document describes the basic installation

and configuration of the 2-Port Fiber to Copper

GM4 standalone modules.
The GM4 features one SFP ports, one UTP

port and a RS-232 Serial Console Port. The

SFP port supports SERDES 100/1000BASE-X

SFP fiber and Omnitron approved SGMII

10/100/1000BASE-T copper transceivers.
NOTE: When using third party 100BASE-FX and unapproved SGMII SFPs, the port must

be manually configured using the Command Line Interface (CLI). Interface settings can be

changed using the portattribute command. For more information including the complete

User Manual on the 2-Port GM4 modules, access Omnitron’s registration page and register

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: P1 AUTO/MANUAL NEGOTIATION “AN / Man”
When this DIP-switch is in the “AN”

position (factory default), the port

automatically determines the duplex

and pause modes of the connected

device. If the connecting device cannot

provide the proper signal to indicate its

own mode of operation, the DIP-switch

should be set to the “Man” position.

When in manual mode, no capabilities

are advertised and the port operates in

full-duplex mode.

Figure 1: DIP-switch Location

NOTE: If a 1000Mbps fiber transceiver is installed, the port always operates in 1000Mbps

full-duplex mode.

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 GM4 Console Port is a standard

RS-232 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 57,600

Stop Bits

1

Data Bits

8

Parity

8

HW Flow Control NONE

Once connected, press to bring up a command line prompt on the attached PC.

A new GM4 module does not have a password, and will skip the Password Entry screen and

go straight to the Management Options screen. If a password has been set, the Password

Entry screen will be displayed. Type the password and press , the GM4 will respond

with the Management Options screen.
The CLI interface allows for the detailed configuration of the module. It is recommended to

configure:

Serial port password - option 3 from the Management Options screen

Telnet password - option 3 from the Management Options screen

IP address of the module - option 3 from the Management Options screen

SNMP parameters - option 4 from the Management Options screen

See the full version of the User Manual for more 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.
