3.2 CONFIGURING DIP-SWITCHES PI SA The GX/TM2 plug-in module has two board-mounted DIP-switches. The standalone unit has one bank of DIP-switches. The locations of the DIP-switches are illustrated below . Switch 1 Switch 4 Left Switch 1 Switch 8 Bank 2 Bank 1 Right SW1 SW8 Bank 1 Up Down DIP-switch Locations 3.
NOTE: When the fiber optic port operates in Auto-Negotiation mode, the por t advertises for Pause. When the fiber optic port operates in Manual mode, Pause is disabled. NOTE: The fiber optic port of the GX/TM2 works in Full-Duplex mode in both Auto and Manual Negotiation modes.
3.2.1.3 SW3 - UTP S peed Gigabit/10-100 “1000/10-100” When the “1000/10-100” DIP-switch is in the “1000” position (factory default), the UTP always operates in 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation mode. The UTP port auto-negotiates to a speed of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps with the connected UTP device.
For detailed information on the operation of the different Link Modes, download the application note “ iConverter Link Modes” available on Omnitron’ s web page: http://www .omnitron-systems.com/downloads.php 3.2.2 Board-Mounted Bank 2 Settings PI DIP-switch Bank 2 is available on the plug-in module only .
3.3 INST ALLING THE MODULE AND CONNECTING CABLES PI a. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in the chassis. 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.
3.4 CONFIGURING THE MODULE VIA COMMAND LINE INTERF ACE PI SA T o configure, attach the GX/TM2 to a DB-9 serial (RS-232) equipped computer with terminal emulation software such as HyperT erminal. The GX/TM2 Serial Console Port (DCE) is a mini DIN-6 female connector which can be changed to a DB-9 connector with the included adapter (Part #8082-0).
A new GX/TM2 module does not have a password, and will skip the Password Entry screen and go straight to the Management Options screen. If a password has been set, the Password Entry screen will be displayed. T ype the password and press < ENTER >, the GX/TM2 will respond with the Management Options screen.
