Sw4 - RESERVED
This DIP-switch is 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. Insert the SFP Fiber transceivers into the Port 1 and Port 2 SFP receptacles on the
2GXM2.
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
2GXM2 must be connected to the Port 1 on the 2GXM2 or link partner.
3) CONFIGURE MODUlE VIa COMMaND lINE INTERFaCE
To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the 2GXM2 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 2GXM2 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.
NOTE: The fiber optic ports operate in Full-Duplex mode in both auto and Manual
negotiation modes.
Sw3, Sw4, Sw5 - RESERVED
These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the LEFT
position (factory default).
Sw6, Sw7, Sw8 - lINk MODES
These three DIP-switches configure the link mode settings. The following table details
possible Link Mode DIP-switch configurations. For detailed information on the operation
of the different Link Modes, download the application note “iConverter Link Modes”
available on Omnitron’s web page:

Sw1, Sw2 - BaCkPlaNE ENaBlE
When the DIP-switch is in the LEFT “DS” position (factory default), the Backplane Port
of the 2GXM2 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 - MaSTER/SlaVE
When the 2GXM2 module is installed in a chassis with an
i
Converter
Network
Management Module (NMM), the DIP-switch must be set to the LEFT “M/SL” position
(factory default). The assignment of mastership is automatically negotiated by the
installed management modules. To designate the 2GXM2 module as the master of
the chassis, set the DIP-switch to the LEFT “M/SL” position, and set the DIP-switches
on the other installed management modules to the RIGHT “SL” position to enable
Slave-Only mode.
