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).

a.The 2GXM standalone Network Interface Device (NID) is available in tabletop and wall-mounting models. For wall-mounting, attach the NID to a wall, backboard or other flat surfaces. For tabletop installations, place the unit on a flat level surface. Attach 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 unit. 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 2GXM standalone 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.Insert the SFP Fiber transceivers into the Port 1 and Port 2 SFP receptacles on the 2GXM.

NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed (up) position before insertion.

c.Connect the 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. When using single-fiber (SF) media converter models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength on the other. Based on this guideline, single fiber SFP fiber transceiver models must be used in pairs, such as the 7214-1 matched with the 7215-1.

NOTE: In order to support Remote OAM Management Mode, Port 1 of the 2GXM must be connected to the Port 1 on the 2GXM or link partner.

2GXM specifications

Omnitron Systems Technology has made significant strides in the realm of networking solutions, particularly with its innovative 2GXM series of managed Ethernet switches. These devices are designed to cater to the growing demands for reliable, high-speed network connectivity in industrial environments. The 2GXM series stands out with its robust features, advanced technologies, and versatile characteristics that meet the needs of various applications ranging from industrial automation to surveillance systems.

One of the main features of the Omnitron 2GXM is its support for Gigabit Ethernet with both copper and fiber interfaces. This dual capability allows for flexible network configurations, enabling users to extend their network range while maintaining high data transmission speeds. The switch supports a variety of port combinations, including SFP slots for fiber connections and standard Ethernet ports, facilitating seamless integration into existing infrastructures.

In addition to its connectivity options, the 2GXM series includes advanced management functionalities. It supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing network administrators to monitor device performance, configure settings, and manage the network from a centralized platform. The switch also features VLAN support, providing enhanced network segmentation and security by allowing the separation of different network traffic types.

Another critical aspect of the 2GXM series is its rugged design, making it an ideal choice for industrial environments. It is built to withstand harsh conditions, including extreme temperatures, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference. This durability ensures maximum uptime and reliability, which are essential for mission-critical applications.

The 2GXM also features Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, enabling it to supply power to connected devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points. This not only simplifies installation but also reduces the need for additional power sourcing, enhancing overall efficiency.

Furthermore, the switch incorporates advanced security features, including port security and access control lists (ACLs), to safeguard the network against unauthorized access and potential threats. This focus on security reassures users that their industrial operations can run smoothly and safely.

In summary, the Omnitron Systems Technology 2GXM series of managed Ethernet switches offers a compelling combination of high-speed connectivity, advanced management features, rugged construction, and enhanced security. These characteristics make it a preferred choice for enterprises looking to strengthen their industrial networks while achieving operational efficiency and reliability.
