Omnitron Systems Technology (Booth #44074) introduces the new iConverter GX/TM self-managed copper UTP to fiber optic converter. The iConverter GX/TM is a 10/100/1000 Mb/s gigabit Ethernet device that can be configured as a standalone, self-managed network interface device or as chassis plug-in modules that can manage a single unit or an entire chassis of converters. GX/TM supports virtual LAN technology, quality-of-service (QoS) prioritization and port access control for a securely managed demarcation point at the network edge/customer premises.

VLAN technology allows several virtual networks to coexist on a single physical network, enabling multiple organizations or departments to share network infrastructure resources while maintaining secure and isolated user data. Support of the IEEE 802.1p QoS prioritization enables delivery of high-priority, real-time voice and video services over Ethernet.

The iConverter GX/TM supports port access control to enable and disable specific ports. Service providers can easily control customer access while maintaining port configuration for easy disabling or enabling of service. Enterprise network managers can disable ports when they are not in use to prevent unauthorized access to the network.

All iConverter modules are hot swappable and can be mounted in a 19-Module or a 5-Module rack-mountable chassis with any combination of redundant AC and 18-60VDC power supplies, providing a scalable solution that is space efficient and cost effective. They can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or 18-60VDC powered chassis or in a 1-Module AC powered chassis.

The GX/TM can be managed with Omnitron’s NetOutlook SNMP Management Software, third-party SNMP management software or Telnet. The management system allows network managers to remotely monitor network status, configure equipment parameters and receive a variety of user-specified trap (alarm) notifications. These management capabilities save operating costs by quickly diagnosing network problems, reducing trips to edge equipment and minimizing user down time.
