Omnitron Systems Technology iConverter 2FXM2 Plugin Module - Manual (Page 2)

SW4 - MASTER/SLAVE
When the 2FXM2 module is installed in a chassis with an iConverter Network
Management Module (NMM), set 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 2FXM2 module as the master of the chassis,
set the DIP-switch 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, SW6, SW7, SW8 - RESERVED
These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the LEFT
(factory default) position.
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. Insert the SFP Fiber transceivers into the Port 1 and Port 2 SFP receptacles on the
2FXM2.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed
position before insertion.
d. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the SFP fiber ports
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.
NOTE: In order to support Remote OAM Management Mode, Port 1 of the
2FXM2 must be connected to the Port 1 on the 2FXM2 or link partner.
3) CONFIGURE MODULE VIA COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the 2FXM2 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 2FXM2 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 57,600
Stop Bits 1
Data Bits 8
Parity NONE
Hardware Flow Control NONE
Once connected, press <ENTER> to bring up a command line prompt on the attached
PC. A new 2FXM2 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
<ENTER>, the 2FXM2 will respond with the Management Options screen:
supports Full-Duplex operation.
SW3, SW4 - RESERVED
These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the LEFT
(factory default) position.
SW5 - FIBER PORT 2 FULL/HALF DUPLEX
Setting this DIP-switch to Half-Duplex “HDX” facilitates a connection that supports
Half-Duplex. Setting this DIP-switch to Full-Duplex “FDX” facilitates a connection that
supports Full-Duplex operation.
SW6, SW7, SW8 - LINK MODES
The module supports multiple link modes for fault detection and isolation. Link Segment
should be used for the initial installation of the module. Once installed and operational,
the link mode can be changed. For detailed information on the operation of the different
Link Modes, download the application note “
iConverter Link Modes” available on

SW1, SW2 - BACKPLANE ENABLE
When the DIP-switch is in the LEFT
“DS” position (factory default), the
Backplane Port of the 2FXM2 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.
