Omnitron Systems GX-T2 Plug in Module

SW1: Port 1 Speed

This DIP-switch configures the speed of the transceiver installed in Port 1. If the DIP-switch is in the DOWN “Auto” (default) position, the port detects the data rate of the transceiver installed and operates at 100M or 1G accordingly. If the DIP-switch is in the UP “100” position, the port is expecting a 100M capable transceiver to be installed.

NOTE: SW1 is not available for fixed fiber models. The fiber port is always set to 1000.

SW2: Port 2 Negotiation

This DIP-switch configures Port 2 for Auto Negotiation or Manual operation.

SW2 – SW4: Port Negotiation, Speed and Duplex

Copper port configurations are shown below.

SW5 and SW6: Link Modes

These DIP-switches configure the link mode settings. It is recommended to have link modes DOWN position (default) during the initial installation. After the circuit has been tested and operational, configure the module for the desired mode. See Link Mode application note for more information.

Link Segment

In Link Segment mode, all ports operate independently. A loss of a receive link signal will only affect the port detecting the loss of signal. All the other ports will continue to generate a link signal

Link Propagate

In Link Propagate mode, faults are propagated based on the port notation. Port 1 to Port 2 notation indicates the direction the loss of link signal will propagate. A loss of receive link on Port 1 causes Port 2 to drop its link due to the propagated state (Port 1 to Port 2).
Port 2 to Port 1 notation indicates the direction the loss of link signal will propagate. A loss of receive link on Port 2 causes Port 1 to drop its link due to the propagated state (Port 2 to Port 1).

SW7: Pause

The Pause DIP-switch sets the flow control functionality for all ports on the module, including pause mode advertisement, pause functionality, and half duplex back pressure. When the DIP-switch is in the UP “On” position, flow control functionality is enabled. When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN “Off” position (factory default), flow control functionality is disabled.
If Pause is On and the port is in half duplex, then half duplex flow control is enabled. When a port is in half duplex flow control it generates a back pressure signal when internal buffer resources are low.
If Pause is On and the port is in full duplex, then full duplex flow control is enabled. When a port is in full duplex flow control and internal buffering resources are low, a pause frame is generated to slow down the traffic flow to the port.

SW8: MAC Learning

When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN “On” position (factory default), all ports on the module will learn the source MAC address of each received packet and store the address so packets destined for the stored addresses can be forwarded to the appropriate interface on the module. When the DIP-switch is in the UP “Off” position, learning is turned off and all received packets are forwarded to all ports.

SOFTWARE CONTROLLED SETTINGS

Additional settings are available via software control when a GX/T2 is installed in an iConverter chassis with a Management Module.

The following software only settings can be controlled via Serial Console/Telnet Console, NetOutlook Management Software or other third-party SNMP-based clients:

• Backplane Control
• Port 1 and Port 2 Configuration
• Port VLAN for Front Ports and Backplane Ports
• Port Access Control for All Ports
• MIB Statistics Reporting
• QoS and VLAN with1ad
• Bandwidth Control

Software controlled settings can be selected to override DIP-Switch settings.
For more information on using and configuring the Advanced Features, register for access to the NetOutlook Management Software user manual

MOUNTING AND CABLE ATTACHMENT

The iConverter modules are hot-swappable and can be installed into any iConverter chassis.

Caution: Use proper ESD protection to reduce the risk of damage to your equipment.

1. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in the 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).
2. Insert the SFP fiber transceivers into the Port 1 SFP receptacles on the GX/T2
   NOTE: The release latch of the SFP Fiber transceiver must be in the closed position before insertion.
3. The GX/T2 module has the ability to detect the speed and automatically configure the port to match the speed of Omnitron SFP transceivers. For non-Omnitron transceivers, configure the port for the correct speed of the transceiver using SW1 of DIP-switch Bank 2.
4. Connect the RJ-45 ports via a Category 5 or better Ethernet cables to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet devices.
5. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode fiber cables to the fiber ports 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.

LED Indicators

1 LEDs are not installed on the fixed fiber models
