The iConverter 2-Module Power Chassis is a compact, versatile chassis featuring a single internal universal AC or 18-60VDC power supply. The chassis provides housing for all iConverter multi-service platform modules.

The 2-Module Chassis features a backplane that enables sharing of Ethernet data between two installed iConverter modules that are equipped with Ethernet backplane ports. This enables the chassis to support a variety of networking configurations. Installing an iConverter copper-to-fiber module and a four-port switch module provides a fiber uplink and five 10/100 or 10/100/1000 user ports.

Equipped with an iConverter management module or Network Interface Device (NID), the 2-Module Chassis provides a secure, local or remote managed solution capable of supporting advanced Ethernet services for Enterprise and Service Provider networks. It can be remotely managed via IP-based SNMP or Telnet.

The 2-Module Chassis is ideal for extending a fiber network connection across a campus. The 2-Module Chassis provides a carrier-grade solution; combining a compact, managed edge switch.

Installing an iConverter NID plug-in module and a four-port switch module provides a securely managed Carrier Ethernet demarcation for one or more User-to-Network Interfaces (UNI). This configuration provides an MEF certified deployment supporting advanced Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) features.

The iConverter 2-Module Chassis can be wall-mounted using the optional wall mounting kit or installed on a stable, flat surface. Utilizing the iConverter 19” rack-mount shelf, two chassis can be securely mounted side-by-side.

In this application, media converter modules are installed in a managed iConverter 19-Module Chassis for high-density fiber distribution from UTP switch equipment. At the Customer Premises, an iConverter NID module and a four-port switch module are installed in a 2-Module Chassis. A fiber link between the Central Office and the Customer Premise provides a securely managed demarcation solution supporting advanced OAM fault detection and performance monitoring.

Management provides remote configuration, monitoring and trap notification. Management of the chassis and modules is accomplished by installing an iConverter Management Module (NMM2) or Network Interface Device (NID) in the same chassis.

The Management Module can be accessed via SNMP, Telnet and serial port. The chassis and modules can be managed with Omnitron’s intuitive, graphic-oriented NetOutlook SNMP Management Software or third party SNMP management software. Management via the Telnet and the serial interfaces have an easy-to-use, menu-driven interface.

Fixed parameters that can be monitored include chassis configuration, power supply health status and network traffic statistics for the modules.

In addition to all standard iConverter SNMP traps such as module insertion and removal, 2-Module Chassis models 8230-1, 8231-1, 8232-1, 8235-1, 8236-1 and 8238-1 support Dying Gasp traps (Power Loss Traps) in the event of loss of power. All of these events can be selectively enabled or disabled to generate SNMP traps.
