10/100M Standalone Module QUICK START GUIDE

The Omnitron 

iConverter

®

10/100M is a

carrier-class media converter and a Network
I n t e r f a c e   D e v i c e   ( N I D )   t h a t   p r o v i d e s
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX (10/100) to
100BASE-FX Fiber media conversion with
integrated management.

The 10/100M conforms to Ethernet in the First
Mile (EFM) fiber standards to support Fiber-
to-the-X (FTTX) Metropolitan access and
Enterprise LAN networks. Built-in Operation,
Administration and Maintenance (OAM) functionality enables the 10/100M to operate
as a managed copper demarcation point at the customer premises and network edge,
offering service provisioning functions, such as Quality of Service and Bandwidth
Control (rate-limiting) capabilities.

The 10/100M can be managed using Omnitron’s 

NetOutlook

TM 

SNMP Management

Software, 3rd Party SNMP Client, Telnet or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1) Configure DIP-Switches

2) Install Standalone Module and Connect Cables

3) Configure Module via Command Line Interface

4) Verify Operation

1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES

DIP-SWITCH BANK 1

SW1 - UTP/FIBER PAUSE ENABLE

When a port is operating
in Auto-Negotiation (AN),
i ts   P a u s e   o p e r a t i o n
mode is determined by
t h e  Pause capability
advertised during AN
between itself and the
link partner.  The port
advertises its Pause
capability (Symmetrical or No Pause) during AN based on the Pause Disable/Enable
DIP-switch setting.

When a port is operating in Manual mode, its Pause operation mode is based on the
Pause Disable/Enable DIP-switch setting.

The CLI interface allows for the detailed configuration of the module.   It is recommended
to configure the module with an IP address associated with the attached network.
Also, SNMP traphost address should be configured if the module is managed with an
SNMP-based Management System.  See the 10/100M User Manual for complete
information.

4) VERIFY OPERATION

Once the module has been
installed and configured 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.   Verify the Link
Mode selection is set to Link
Segment (LS).  Until a stable link is established, leave the Link Mode configured for
LS.  After a Link presence is established, the Link Mode selection can be modified.

The UTP link LED indicates the module has established a connection across its UTP
port.
