GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Omnitron iConverter
®
GX/TM2 is a carrier-class media converter and a Network Interface Device (NID)
that provides 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T (10/100/1000 UTP) to 1000BASE-X Fiber media
conversion with integrated management.
conversion with integrated management.
The GX/TM2 conforms to Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) fiber standards to support Fiber-to-the-X
(FTTX) Metropolitan access and Enterprise LAN networks. GX/TM2 media converters provide managed
copper demarcation points at the customer premises and network edge, offering service provisioning
functions, such as Quality of Service and Bandwidth Control (rate-limiting) capabilities.

Network Management Software, third-party SNMP clients and Telnet. The management IP address is
configured manually or as a DHCP client in the configuration menu. IP-less remote management is supported
via 802.3ah OAM or Secure OAM protocols. A menu-driven CLI is accessible via Telnet, serial console
port, or a modem connection to the serial console port.

IMPORTANT
This manual provides information on the installation and configuration of the module using the command
line interface (serial console). For ongoing network management, Omnitron Systems recommends
NetOutlook, an SNMP-based Network Management Software.

NetOutlook provides an efficient, user-friendly way to configure, monitor and manage devices installed
on a single network or on a series of networks by providing an intuitive graphical display with real-time
status and alarm (trap) information. The user can easily manage iConverter equipment on a large
Enterprise network or Metropolitan Area network (MAN) from a single location without the need of
additional resources.

The firmware of the Network Management Module (NMM) and NetOutlook must be the same or
greater than the firmware on the GX/TM2 for the module to be managed.

Advanced Features
The GX/TM2 features Port VLAN, Tag VLAN, Provider VLAN and QoS prioritization which are defined
in the IEEE 802.1Q, 802.1ad and 802.1p specifications. Ethernet Virtual Connections can be configured
with Provider VLAN to support E-Line and E-LAN connections on Metro Ethernet Networks.

Access to the management control can be restricted with the Port VLAN and Tag VLAN features, helping
to prevent Denial-Of-Service (DoS) and unauthorized management access.
