Omnitron Systems Technology iConverter GM3 Quick Start Manual

Port to the COM port of a computer equipped with terminal emulation software such as
HyperTerminal. The Console Port (DCE) is a mini DIN-6 female connector which can be
changed to a DB-9 connector with the included adapter. The GM3 Console Port is a standard
RS-232 asynchronous serial interface.
Start HyperTerminal and select the correct COM Port in the HyperTerminal "Connect To:"
window. Set the serial port to the following:
Bits Per Second 57,600
Data Bits 8
Hardware Flow Control NONE
Once connected, press <ENTER> to bring up a command line prompt on the attached PC.
A new GM3 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. Type the password and press <ENTER>, the GM3 will respond
with the Management Options screen:
The CLI interface enables detailed configuration of the module.

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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

1
NONE
This document describes the basic installation and configuration of the 3-Port GM3 standalone
modules.
The GM3 features a RS-232 Serial Console Port and UTP and/or SFP ports. The SFP
ports support SERDES 100/1000BASE-X SFP fiber and Omnitron approved SGMII
10/100/1000BASE-T copper transceivers.
NOTE: When using third party 100BASE-FX and unapproved SGMII SFPs, the port must
be manually configured using the Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) Command Line
Interface (CLI). Interface settings can be changed using the portattribute command. For
more information including the complete User Manual on the 3-Port GM3 modules, access
Omnitron's registration page and register the product:

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

The function of DIP-switch Bank 1 is outlined in Figure 1 below.
The location of the DIP-switch is illustrated in Figure 2 on the next page.
SW1 - SW3: P1, P2 and P3 AUTO/MANUAL NEGOTIATION "AN/MAN"
When these DIP-switches are in the Down "AN" position (factory default), the corresponding
port automatically determines the duplex and pause modes of the connected device. If the
connecting device cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own mode of operation,
