offeringQualityofServiceandenhancedBandwidthControl(rate-
limiting) capabilities. The 2GXM2 features built-in Operations,
Administration and Maintenance (OAM) with comprehensive
performancemonitoring,fault detection andprovisioning.
The 2GXM2 is available as a compact standalone unit or as a
chassis plug-in module. The hot-swappable 2GXM2 plug-in
module can be mounted in a 19 or 5-Module chassis with any
combination of redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can
also be mounted in a 2-ModuleAC or DC powered chassis, or
in a 1-Module chassis withAC or DC power input.
The plug-in module can manage other modules in the same
chassisandoperateasamanagedgigabitfiber-to-fiberconverter.
Itfeatures two GigabitEthernet backplane portsfor connectivity
toadjacent modules inachassis formulti-portand multi-service
configurations.
Thestandalone 2GXM2 isavailable asatabletop orwall-mount
unit. The tabletop model can be DIN-rail mounted using an
optional DIN-rail mounting kit. Both the tabletop and the
wall-mount models are DC powered and are available with an
externalAC/DC power adapter or a terminal connector for DC
power. The 2GXM2 standalone unit combines management
capability with a compact chassis for deployment at the

Fiber Port Options
The2GXM2SmallFormPluggable(SFP)modelsupportsawide
varietyof SFPtransceivers forFTTX andCWDM applications.
SFPfiber transceiversare availablewith multimode(MM) dual
fiber,single-mode (SM)dualfiber andsingle-mode single-fiber
(SF)options. They support LCconnectors with distancesup to
550m over MM fiber, 140km over SM fiber and 40km over SF.
SFPtransceiversareavailablein20nmincrements from 1270nm
to1610nmto supportFTTX and CWDMapplications.

Tag VLAN, Port VLAN and QoS
The iConverter 2GXM2 supports the IEEE 802.1Q tag Virtual
Local Area Network (VLAN) packet tagging and untagging
(including Q-in-Q) and the 802.1p Quality of Service priority
standards.
2GXM2 VLAN 802.1ad tunneling technology enables service
providers to offer their customers E-Line and E-LAN services
(via Ethernet Virtual Circuit or EVC), which connect multiple
business LANs at different locations and make their networks
appear to be on the same local network. Q-in-Q Service tags
transparently transports customer network traffic across the
service provider network, isolating it from other customer and
serviceprovidermanagementtraffic.
2GXM2 Port VLAN enables the ability to specify and restrict
trafficflowbetweenthefiber,backplane and managementports.
The802.1pprioritization standard enablesdeliveryofQuality of
Service (QoS) to high-priority, real-time applications such as
voiceandvideooverEthernet.
Port Bandwidth Control and Port Access Control
The enhanced Bandwidth Control feature supports levels of
bandwidth between the fiber ports in 64Kbps increments from
64K to Full Line Speed.
The 2GXM2 features Port Access Control which blocks user
servicewhilemaintainingthe network link. PortAccessControl
enables the service provider to control user access while
maintainingport configurationfor easydisabling orenabling of
customer service. Port Access Control provides enterprise
administrators the capability to improve network security by
controlling port access when the port is not in use.
Port Statistics and Optical Performance Statistics
The 2GXM2 supports reporting of utilization, port and optical
performancestatistics. Portstatisticsareavailablefor38different
variablesforthefiberports. Additionally,fullopticalperformance
statistics are available on SFP fiber transceivers with a digital
diagnostic bus.
Port and optical performance statistics reporting provides the
ability to monitor customer bandwidth utilization, network
performanceand thelink signal qualityfor eachindividual port.
IEEE802.3ah Operations, Administration andMaintenance
The2GXM2supportstheIEEE802.3ahOAMstandard,including
FaultDetection,PerformanceMonitoringandRemoteLoopback.
Fault Detection
The2GXM2 detectsand indicateslink failures,dying gasp and
othercritical events. The 2GXM2 also supportsUnidirectional
Link Fault Detection that indicates faults in either direction of
the fiber link.
Performance Monitoring
802.3ahPerformanceMonitoringtoolsareusedforthedetection
and notification of link performance (quality) faults. Ethernet
data performance can deteriorate slowly before disrupting
service,and the2GXM2 allowsthe settingof error-per-second
thresholds. Once the pre-set error threshold is exceeded, an
eventnotificationis generated thatprovidesearly indication ofa
problemthat may beresolved prior toloss of service.
Remote Loopback
Remote Loopback is used for fault localization and link
performancetesting. Whena 2GXM2 portisin loopback mode,
all received service traffic is looped back and transmitted back
unaltered. The statistics from the 2GXM2 port and the remote
link partner can be compared for consistency.
At the Central Office, the 2GXM2 plug-in module is installed
in a managed iConverter 19-Module chassis providing
high-density fiber access. At Customer Premises 1 and 2,
the 2GXM2 standalone NID provides a fiber uplink port for
intelligent demarcation of Ethernet services.

The 2GXM2 has integrated management, eliminating the cost
and space required for external management hardware.
The iConverter management system provides comprehensive
remote configuration and performance monitoring. iConverter
managementreducesoperationalexpendituresbykeepingtruck
rolls to a minimum through remote provisioning, unidirectional
fault detection, trapnotification and loopback capabilities.
iConverter management is available out-of-band via IP-Less
protocol using the 802.3ah OAM channel or Omnitron’s Secure
OAMchannel, or in-bandusing SNMPorTelnet.
Management is accessed via Omnitron’s NetOutlook®SNMP
NetworkManagementSoftwarewithan intuitive GraphicalUser
Interface, or third party SNMP software. Telnet and CLI
managementinterfacesare alsosupported,and utilizeaneasy
touse,menu-driveninterface. TheCLI interface isaccessedvia
aSerialConsolePort,thatprovideslocalconfigurationandallows
forfirmwareupdates. Additionally, theportcan be connectedto
aserialmodemtoprovideanalternativeremotemanagementpath.
IP-Based Management
The 2GXM2 can be managed through IP protocols, SNMPv1,
SNMPv2c,SNMPv3 andTelnet.The IPaddressof the 2GXM2
canbe user-definedor resolved throughthe DHCPhost onthe
network. The IP protocols for management access can be
enabled or disabled individually or as a group. Access to the
managementisprotectedbypasswordauthentication.SMNPv3
strengthens secure access to devices by a combination of
authenticating and encrypting packets over the network.
Management VLAN can also be defined to separate
managementtraffic from customertraffic.
802.3ah and Secure OAM Management Channels
Whenutilizing a RemoteOAM management channel (Secure
IP-less or 802.3ah), the NID at the Customer Premises is
securelymanagedby its fiberlinkpartner locatedattheCentral
Office or Point of Presence. The management network IP
addressisnot available tothecustomernetwork and isisolated
bythe iConverter NetworkManagement Module(NMM) inthe
19-ModuleChassis at theCentral Office.
A management processor on the iConverter 2GXM2 in the
19-Module Chassis isolates the encrypted management data
fromthe customerdata and communicateswith theNMM viaa
separatemanagement backplanebus. Management traffic on
theuserdatalinesisIP-lessandcarriedonasecurelyencrypted
data channel to protect the management from unauthorized
access.The chassis atthe Central Officerequires onlyasingle
IP address to manage itself and all of the connected remote
chassis managed by the Remote OAM channel. This is the
ideal configuration for networks that separate secure
managementtrafficfromtheservice(customer)trafficondifferent
networks,orwhenmanagementIPaddressesareatapremium.
