2GXM2 Standalone Module QUICK START GUIDE
The Omnitron
iConverter
®
2GXM2 media converter and Network Interface Device
(NID) with integrated management provides
Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-X) SFP fiber-to-fiber
media conversion.
The 2GXM2 conforms to Ethernet in the First
Mile (EFM) fiber standards to support Fiber-to-
the-X (FTTX) in Metropolitan and Enterprise LAN
networks. Built-in Operation, Administration and
Maintenance (OAM) functionality enables the
2GXM2 to operate as a managed demarcation
point at the customer premises and network edge,
offering Quality of Service capability.
The 2GXM2 can be managed using Omnitron’s
NetOutlook
TM
SNMP Management
Software, third-party SNMP Client, Telnet or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

IMPORTANT
The firmware of the Network Management Module (NMM or NMM2) and
NetOutlook must be the same or greater than the firmware on the 2GXM2 for
the module to be managed.
INSTAllATION PROCEDURE
1) Configure DIP-Switches
2) Install Standalone Module and Connect Cables
3) Configure Module via Command Line Interface

the connecting fiber optic
devices. If the connecting
fiber optic devices cannot

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 2GXM2 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.
