iConverter GX/TM2 Standalone Module QUICK START GUIDE
The iConverter®GX/TM2 media converter and Network
Interface Device (NID) provides 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX
or 1000BASE-T UTP to 1000BASE-X fiber media
conversion.
The GX/TM2 has built-in Operation, Administration and
Maintenance (OAM) functionality enabling the GX/TM2 to
operate as a managed demarcation point at the customer
premises and network edge, offering Quality of Service
capabilities.
The GX/TM2 can be managed using NetOutlook®SNMP Management Software, third-
party SNMP Client, Telnet or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1) Congure DIP-Switches
2) Install Standalone Module and Connect Cables
3) Congure Module via Command Line Interface
4) Verify Operation
1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES
DIP-SWITCH BANK 1
SW1 - FIBER AUTO/MANUAL NEGOTIATION “AN/MAN”
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN “AN”
position (factory default), the ber optic
port automatically determines the duplex
and pause modes of the connecting ber
optic device. If the connecting ber optic
device cannot provide the proper signal
to indicate its own mode of operation, the
DIP-switch should be set to the UP ber
optic “Man” position. When Port 1 is in
1000X manual mode, no capabilities are
advertised.
NOTE: The ber optic port of the GX/TM2 is always in Full-Duplex mode.
SW2, SW3, SW4 AND SW5 - UTP CONTROL
DIP-switches SW2, SW3, SW4 and SW5 control the setting of the UTP port. See Figure
C for the UTP Conguration matrix.
NOTE: Refer to the table in Section 3.2.1.2 of the GX/TM2 User Manual for the
more detailed information.

The CLI interface allows for the detailed conguration of the module. It is recommended
to congure the module with an IP address associated with the attached network.
Also, SNMP traphost address should be congured if the module is managed with
an SNMP-based Management System. See the GX/TM2 User Manual for complete
information.
4) VERIFY OPERATION
Once the module has been
installed and congured per
steps 1 - 3, verify the module
is operational by viewing the
LED indicators.
The Power LED indicates
the module is receiving
power.
The Fiber Optic link LED
indicates the fiber optic
connection has been
established.
The UTP link LED indicates
the module has established
a connection across its UTP
port.

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. Conrm 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 ber cable to the ber 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-ber (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.
3) CONFIGURE MODULE VIA COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
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:
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.

These three DIP-switches congure 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, congure the module for the desire mode. plication note “iConverter
