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.

iConverter 2FXM Plug-in Module QUICK START GUIDE

The Omnitron iConverter® 2FXM Network Interface Device (NID) with integrated management 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 module can be managed using Omnitron’s NetOutlookTM SNMP Management Software, 3rd Party SNMP Client, Telnet or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1)Configure DIP-Switches

2)Install Module in Chassis and Connect Cables

3)Configure Module via Command Line Interface

4)Verify Operation

1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES

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 from the chassis.

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

DIP-SWITCH BANK 1

SW1 - PAUSE ENABLE

When the Pause Enable DIP-switch is in the LEFT “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 RIGHT “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.
