2FXM Standalone Module QUICK START GUIDE
The Omnitron
iConverter
®
2FXM media
converter and Network Interface Device (NID)
provides Fast Ethernet (100BASE-FX) fiber-to-
fiber media conversion.
The 2FXM 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
2FXM 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 2FXM 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 2FXM
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 2FXM to receive Pause frames from its link partner.
This enables the 2FXM 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 2FXM becomes congested, it will transmit a Pause frame to its
link partner.

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 2FXM 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 LED
indicates the fiber optic
connection has 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.
