The iConverter GX/TM conforms to the Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) standards to support Fiber-to-the-X Metropolitan and Enterprise LAN networks. The GX/TM provides intelligent, securely managed service demarcation at the customer premises, offering Quality of Service capabilities. The GX/TM features built-in Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) management with comprehensive monitoring, fault detection and provisioning.

The GX/TM is available as a compact standalone unit or as a chassis plug-in module. The hot-swappable GX/TM plug-in module can be mounted in a 19 or 5-Module chassis with any combination of redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or DC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module chassis with AC or DC power input.

The plug-in module can manage other modules in the same chassis and operate as a managed 10/100/1000 media converter. It features two Ethernet backplane ports for connectivity to adjacent modules in a chassis for multi-port and multi-service configurations.

The standalone GX/TM is available as a tabletop or wall-mount unit. The tabletop model can be DIN-rail mounted using an optional DIN-rail mounting kit. Both the tabletop and the wall-mount models are DC powered and are available with an external AC/DC power adapter or a terminal connector for DC power. The GX/TM standalone unit combines management capability with a compact chassis for deployment at the demarcation point.

The iConverter family of managed fiber access media converters are used in Service Provider access networks and Enterprise LANs. iConverter media converters provide fiber connectivity with copper to fiber, multimode fiber to single-mode fiber, or dual fiber to single-fiber conversions.

Metro Ethernet Access

At the Central Office, the GX/TM plug-in module is installed in a managed iConverter 19-Module chassis for high-density fiber distribution from UTP switch equipment. At Customer Premises 1, the GX/TM plug-in module is installed in a 2-Module chassis with an iConverter 4TxVT four-port switch module. The two modules share data via the Ethernet Backplane. This configuration functions as a remotely managed demarcation switch with a fiber uplink port to the network core and four copper ports that drop off Ethernet service. At Customer Premises 2, the GX/TM standalone NID provides a fiber uplink to a single copper port for intelligent demarcation of Ethernet services.

Fiber Port Options
GX/TM models with fixed-fiber connectors are available with multimode dual fiber, single-mode dual fiber and single-mode single-fiber options. They support ST, SC, LC and MT-RJ connectors with distances up to 550m over MM fiber, 140km over SM fiber and 40km over SF. The GX/TM Small Form Pluggable (SFP) model supports a wide variety of SFP transceivers available in 20nm increments from 1270nm to 1610nm to support FTTX and CWDM applications.

Link Modes
The GX/TM features multiple, user-selectable link fault detection modes, including Link Propagation, Remote Fault Detection and Symmetrical Fault Detection. These Link Modes provide rapid fault detection and isolation by monitoring the state of the cabling hardware, and operate independently of the network management.

Tag VLAN, Port VLAN and QoS
The iConverter GX/TM supports the IEEE 802.1Q Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) packet tagging and untagging and the 802.1p Quality of Service priority standards.

GX/TM VLAN tunneling technology enables service providers to offer their customers E-Line and E-LAN services via Ethernet Virtual Channel (EVC), which connect business locations across town and make their networks appear to be on the same local network. VLAN technology transparently transports customer network traffic across the service provider network, and isolates it from other customer traffic and the service provider management traffic.

GX/TM Port VLAN enables the ability to specify and restrict traffic flow between the fiber, UTP, backplane and management ports.

The 802.1p prioritization standard enables delivery of Quality of Service (QoS) to high-priority, real-time applications such as voice and video over Ethernet.

Port Access Control
The GX/TM features Port Access Control which blocks user service while maintaining the network link. Port Access Control enables the service provider to control user access while maintaining port configuration for easy disabling or enabling of customer service. Port Access Control provides enterprise administrators the capability to improve network security by controlling port access when the port is not in use.

Port Statistics and Optical Performance Statistics
The GX/TM supports reporting of utilization, port and optical performance statistics. Port statistics are available for 38 different variables for the UTP and fiber ports. Additionally, full optical performance statistics are available on SFP fiber transceivers with a digital diagnostic bus.

Port and optical performance statistics reporting provides the ability to monitor customer bandwidth utilization, network performance and the link signal quality for each individual port.

IEEE 802.3ah Operations, Administration and Maintenance
The GX/TM supports the IEEE 802.3ah OAM standard, including Fault Detection, Performance Monitoring and Remote Loopback.

Fault Detection
The GX/TM detects and indicates link failures, dying gasp and other critical events.

Performance Monitoring
802.3ah Performance Monitoring tools are used for the detection and notification of link performance (quality) faults. Ethernet data performance can deteriorate slowly before disrupting service, and the GX/TM allows the setting of error-per-second thresholds. Once the pre-set error threshold is exceeded, an event notification is generated that provides early indication of a problem that may be resolved prior to loss of service.

Remote Loopback
Remote Loopback is used for fault localization and link performance testing. When a GX/TM port is in loopback mode, all received service traffic is looped back and transmitted back unaltered. The statistics from the GX/TM port and the remote link partner can be compared for consistency.

The GX/TM has integrated management, eliminating the cost and space required for external management hardware. The iConverter management system provides comprehensive remote configuration and performance monitoring. iConverter management reduces operational expenditures by keeping truck rolls to a minimum through remote provisioning, trap notification and loopback capabilities.

iConverter management is available out-of-band via IP-Less protocol using the 802.3ah OAM channel or Omnitron's Secure OAM channel, or in-band using SNMP or Telnet.

Management is accessed via Omnitron's NetOutlook® SNMP Network Management Software with an intuitive Graphical User Interface, or third party SNMP software. Telnet and CLI management interfaces are also supported, and utilize an easy to use, menu-driven interface. The CLI interface is accessed via a Serial Console Port, that provides local configuration and allows for firmware updates. Additionally, the port can be connected to a serial modem to provide an alternative remote management path.

IP-Based Management
The GX/TM can be managed through IP protocols, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 and Telnet. The IP address of the GX/TM can be user-defined or resolved through the DHCP host on the network. The IP protocols for management access can be enabled or disabled individually or as a group. Access to the management is protected by password authentication. SMNPv3 strengthens secure access to devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over the network. Management VLAN can also be defined to separate management traffic from customer traffic.

802.3ah and Secure OAM Management Channels
When utilizing a Remote OAM management channel (Secure IP-less or 802.3ah), the NID at the Customer Premises is securely managed by its fiber link partner located at the Central Office or Point of Presence. The management network IP address is not available to the customer network and is isolated by the iConverter Network Management Module (NMM) in the 19-Module Chassis at the Central Office.

A management processor on the GX/TM in the 19-Module Chassis isolates the encrypted management data from the customer data and communicates with the NMM via a separate management backplane bus. Management traffic on the user data lines is IP-less and carried on a securely encrypted data channel to protect the management from unauthorized access. The chassis at the Central Office requires only a single IP address to manage itself and all of the connected remote chassis managed by the Remote OAM channel. This is the ideal configuration for networks that separate secure management traffic from the service (customer) traffic on different networks, or when management IP addresses are at a premium.
