Omnitron Systems iConverter GX/TM2 Transceiver/Media Converter

iConverter® GX/TM2 | 10/100/1000 Copper to Gigabit Fiber Media Converter and Network Interface Device

The iConverter GXTM2 is a carrier-grade Network Interface Device (NID) that provides 10/100/1000 copper to Gigabit Ethernet fiber media conversion with integrated management.

For Service Providers, the GXTM2 NID provides MEF 9, 14 and 21 certified demarcation of Carrier Ethernet E-Line services.

For Enterprise and Government and Utility networks, the GXTM2 enables secure demarcation and management for mission-critical applications delivered over fiber infrastructure.

The integrated management eliminates the cost and space required for external management hardware. The integrated management provides comprehensive remote configuration and performance monitoring.

The GXTM2 supports IPv4 addressing, IP-Less protocol using the 802.3ah OAM channel, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, Telnet and serial console port.

The IP address is user-defined or can be resolved through DHCP. Telnet and serial console management interfaces are supported, and utilize an easy-to-use, menu-driven interface. The serial interface provides local configuration access.

SNMP management is available via Omnitron's NetOutlook® SNMP Network Management Software with an intuitive Graphical User Interface, or third party SNMP software.

The GXTM2 models are available with ST, SC and LC fixed-fiber connectors supporting multimode dual fiber, single-mode dual fiber and single-mode single-fiber options. The GXTM2 Small Form Pluggable (SFP) model supports a wide variety of Gigabit SFP transceivers in standard, CWDM and DWDM wavelengths.

The RJ-45 port supports 10/100/1000 and Half/Full-Duplex auto-negotiation and Pause control, with both hardware and software manual override controls. The module supports frame sizes up to 10,240 bytes.

The GXTM2 features multiple, user-selectable link fault detection modes, including Link Fault Propagation, Remote Fault Detection and Asymmetrical Fault Detection. These Link Modes provide rapid fault detection and isolation by monitoring the state of the copper and fiber ports, and operate independently of the network management.

The GXTM2 Network Interface devices are available as compact, managed standalone units, or chassis plug-in modules. The plug-in module can manage other modules in the same chassis and operate as a managed 10/100/1000 media converter.

The hot-swappable plug-in module can be mounted in a high-density 19 or 5-Module chassis with redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module or in a 1-Module chassis with AC or DC power input.

The plug-in module features two Ethernet backplane ports for connectivity to adjacent modules in a chassis for multi-port and multi-service configurations.

The GXTM2 standalone unit is available with an external AC to DC power adapter or with a 2-pin terminal connector for direct connection to DC power. The standalone module can be DIN-Rail mounted using the optional DIN-Rail mounting bracket (8250-0), DIN-Rail Mounting Clips (8251-0) and wall mounted.

The GXTM2 standalone unit combines management capability with a compact chassis for deployment at the demarcation point.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES | IEEE 802.3ah Operations, Administration and Maintenance

The GXTM2 supports the IEEE 802.3ah Link OAM standard with Fault Detection, Performance Monitoring and Remote Loopback for Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) access links.
