the rubber feet to the bottom of the NID to prevent the unit from sliding. Make sure
the unit is placed in a safe, dry and secure location.
To power the unit using the AC/DC adapter, connect the AC/DC adapter to the AC
outlet. Then connect the barrel plug at the end of the wire on the AC/DC adapter
to the 2.5mm DC barrel connector (center-positive) on the chassis. Confirm that
the unit has powered up properly by checking the power status LED located on the
front of the unit.
To power the unit using a DC power source, prepare a power cable using a two-
conductor insulated wire (not supplied) with a 14 AWG gauge minimum. Cut the
power cable to the length required. Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation
from the power cable wires. Connect the power cables to the unit by fastening the
stripped ends to the DC power connector.
Connect the power wires to the DC power source. The Power LED should indicate
the presence of power.
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive and negative
connections. Use the same color assignment for the connection at the DC
power source.
NOTE: If mounting with a safety ground attachment, use the safety ground
screw at the rear of the unit.
b. When using a GX/TM2 SFP model (8939N-0), insert the SFP Fiber transceiver into
the Port 1 SFP receptacle on the GX/TM2.
NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed
position before insertion.
c. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cable to the fiber port 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.
d. Connect the UTP port via a Category 5 cable to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or
1000BASE-T Ethernet device.

To access the Command Line Interface (CLI), connect the GX/TM2 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 GX/TM2 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:

These three DIP-switches configure the link mode settings. It is recommended to have
link modes DOWN (default) during the initial installation. After the circuit has been tested
and operational, configure the module for the desire mode. plication note “
