This section provides a brief overview of the GX2 system and a complete description of the features and functions of the GX2-CM100B. OmniStar GX2 equipment provides increased rack density, reliability, ease of operation, and computer-aided troubleshooting through status monitoring. All OmniStar GX2 modules are accessible and replaceable from the front of the GX2-HSG* equipment shelf, resulting in low time-to-repair. An installed module mates with the equipment-shelf connectors for signal interfacing and power. Fiber connections are made at the front of a module. The GX2 design incorporates blind-mate RF connectors that enable all option modules to be hot swapped with power applied to the equipment shelf without removing any RF cables. When modules that receive or transmit laser signals are replaced with power applied to the equipment shelf, ensure that all laser hazard warnings are strictly enforced. You can install GX2 application modules in any of the sixteen universal slots in the GX2-HSG*. The narrow slot on the far right is reserved for the GX2-CM100B control module. The GX2-HSG* can have a mix of different GX2 application modules. Figure 2-1 illustrates an equipment shelf populated with several different GX2* modules and the GX2-CM100B.

The GX2-PSAC10* provides shelf power in an AC powered system; the GX2-PSDC10* provides shelf power in a DC system

M o d u l e D e s c r i p t i o n The primary function of the GX2-CM100B control module is to monitor and control all of the application modules located in the same chassis and report any alarms to the network management system (NMS). Alarms are also reported through a text error message on the optional SDU with optional display, if installed. You can control application modules through the SDU or NMS. The GX2-CM100B also detects the addition or deletion of modules. The GX2-CM100B provides a Quick-Swap Auto-Configure mode. In this mode, the GX2-CM100B saves all previous settings for the application modules and then automatically downloads those settings to a replacement module. Other functions performed by the GX2-CM100B include: Quick summary indication of application module status and the status of the power supplies

through three front-panel mounted tri-color LEDs Self-diagnostics and identification of faults Storage of the firmware upgrades, module identities, and other system information

External Communications The GX2-CM100B enables you to communicate with any application module installed in the same GX2-HSG*. It also enables you to view status information and send control commands. There are three methods by which you can communicate with the other modules: the local Ethernet port, the network Ethernet port, and the SDU. The local 10Base-T Ethernet port is a front-panel RJ-45 connector for communication to a

local PC. Through this port, you can monitor and control all parameters for installed modules using the provided SNMP interface. This connector has a reverse pin-out that enables you to connect a computer with a straight-through cable. No cross-over cable is required. This port is equipped with a DHCP server. There is no configuration necessary to activate this server.

The network 10Base-T Ethernet port is a rear-panel RJ-45 jack that you can connect to a network with a straight-through cable. Using an Ethernet hub, you can connect any number of GX2 shelves to a PC or network.

O v e r v i e w 2 - 3


The local and network Ethernet ports enable you to use a web browser to monitor and control the modules in the GX2-HSG*. The ports also support communication with an SNMP management station. You can use both ports at the same time. A green LED is provided at both connectors to indicate communications activity.

The GX2-CM100B also provides an interface to the optional SDU. To use the SDU, connect the SDU cable to the mini-DIN connector on the GX2-CM100B front panel, as illustrated in Figure 2-3 (Key 3). The GX2-CM100B controls the SDU operation and enables you to navigate a menu system to view or change module information.

Figure 2-2 illustrates typical system connections.

Internal Communications The GX2-CM100B module communicates with each of the application modules and the two power supplies mounted in the rear of the GX2-HSG*. It recognizes each module and acknowledges the insertion or deletion of modules in the same shelf. It monitors the alarm status of each module and indicates the most serious alarm state present in the shelf on the front-panel CM, PS1, or PS2 status LEDs. The GX2-CM100B also communicates with each application module to relay commands or gather data in response to user inputs. In addition, it can download new versions of firmware to selected modules. There may be a brief interruption of service when the module reboots prior to using the new firmware. You can elect to postpone the reboot immediately after the download is complete and initiate it later during a maintenance window.

Section 4 Operation

This section provides information on how to operate, configure, and use the various features of the GX2-CM100B control module. The following topics are covered: Ethernet port IP Address setup, GX2-CM100B MIBs, Quick Swap, Security Modes, Password setup, SDU menu navigation and operation, downloading firmware, ISDN modem support setup, GX2 Lite chassis, Web interface, and trap setup.

Ethernet Port IP Address Setup The GX2-CM100B provides two Ethernet ports: a local port located on the front panel, and a network port located at the rear of the device. The local port is intended to communicate directly with a single user. The network port is designed to connect to a network of equipment. Each of these two Ethernet ports must have a unique IP address and must be on separate subnets. Before you connect multiple GX2-CM100B modules to a network, you must set the network IP addresses to a unique setting. The following subsection provides default settings for IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway addresses for both the local and network ports.

Ethernet Port Default Settings: Local Ethernet Port Address 192.000.000.001 Local Ethernet Subnet Mask 255.255.255.000 Network Ethernet Port Address 168.84.213.132 Network Ethernet Subnet Mask 255.255.000.000 Default Gateway Address 168.84.213.129 You can configure these fields using the SDU or the embedded web interface (See Appendix B, Configuration and Embedded Web Page Access, for operation of the SDU or web interface). After you configure the Ethernet ports, you must reset the GX2-CM100B for the new settings to take effect. You can do this through the front-panel RESET button illustrated in Figure 2-3, Key 4 or by using the remote command via the SNMP interface.

GX2-CM100B MIB The GX2-CM100B management information base (MIB) documents are a set of documents used by the developer to create an SNMP interface for the device. This interface is used by other SNMP devices to communicate with the GX2-CM100B. These MIBs define each data object that you can monitor and control with the GX2-CM100B. The GX2-CM100B MIBs for all GX2 devices are available from Motorola. Contact your Motorola CHS account representative for more information.

4-2 Operation


Using Quick Swap The OmniStar GX2 products offer a quick-swap capability that auto-configures new modules being inserted into the chassis with the setting of the old device that was in that slot. You can control the quick swap feature using the SDU interface or through the SNMP interface. The SNMP interface includes both the embedded web interface and network management software. When this feature is activated for a given slot, the GX2-CM100B verifies that a module is present in the selected slot, identifies the type of device, and retrieves and stores the current settings of the selected module. As the GX2-CM100B detects that a module with quick swap active has been replaced, it downloads the stored settings back into the replacement module. If the new module being inserted into the chassis is not the same type as the existing module, the quick swap operation will not take place. If a GX2-CM100B is removed from one chassis and inserted into a different chassis, the quick swap operation is disabled for that control module. This prevents accidentally transferring settings to the wrong module. The GX2-CM100B ships from the factory with the quick-swap feature deactivated. The quick swap feature is activated and deactivated on each slot independently. You can activate or deactivate all slots at once using the all slots submenu under the Quick Swap Control on the SDU. This all slots feature is not available through the Web Browser interface, but simple drop-down boxes make the activation and deactivation of each slot quick and easy. You can also activate the timer feature, which automatically activates quick-swap for all occupied slots.

Data Objects Used to Configure the Quick-Swap Feature When using the Web Browser interface: Enable By sending the Enable command, the GX2-CM100B will turn on the quick swap

feature and upload the given slots setting into its memory. Disable Turns the quick swap feature off for the selected slot. Force By sending the Force command, the GX2-CM100B will initiate the transfer of the

stored settings from the GX2-CM100Bs memory back into the given device. When using the SDU: SLOT X >ON the GX2-CM100B turns on the quick swap feature and uploads the given

slots setting into its memory. SLOT X >OFF Turns the quick swap feature off for the selected slot. SLOT X >FORCE The GX2-CM100B will initiate transfer of the stored settings from the

GX2-CM100Bs memory back into the given device. This feature is only available when quick-swap is turned on for the given slot. (Note: the module will reset when using this command.)

UPLOAD the module initiates transfer of its current settings to the GX2-CM100Bs memory. This feature is only available when quick-swap is turned on for the given slot.

ALL SLOTS >QS ON the GX2-CM100B turns the quick-swap feature ON for all occupied slots and uploads all occupied slots settings into its memory.

ALL SLOTS >QS OFF turns the quick-swap feature OFF for all slots. An additional data object is used to set a time interval for updating the GX2-CM100Bs memory with device settings. This update is applied to all devices/slots in which the quick swap feature is currently enabled. You can set this object as follows.

Operation 4-3


When using the Web Browser interface: Timer off No update will take place. One hour Updates the GX2-CM100Bs memory with device settings every hour. All

devices with quick swap active will have their settings stored. One day Updates the GX2-CM100Bs memory with device settings once a day. All devices

with active quick swap will have their settings stored. One week Updates the GX2-CM100Bs memory with device settings once a week. All

devices with active quick swap will have their settings stored. When using the SDU: ALL SLOTS >TIMER OFF no device settings will be updated to the GX2-CM100B

memory for any slots after the initial upload when the quick-swap feature is enabled. ALL SLOTS >TIMER 1 HOUR all occupied slots, with quick-swap enabled, will update

the GX2-CM100Bs memory with their device settings every hour. ALL SLOTS >TIMER 1 DAY all occupied slots, with quick-swap enabled, will update the

GX2-CM100Bs memory with their device settings every day. ALL SLOTS >TIMER 1 WEEK all occupied slots, with quick-swap enabled, will update

the GX2-CM100Bs memory with their device settings every week.

Security Modes The GX2-CM100B offers two security modes. Read-only Prevents unauthorized personnel from changing settings from both the SDU and SNMP

interface

ISDN Modem Configuration This feature is used only when two Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN) modems are used to provide a communication link between a GX2-CM100B and an EMS through a PBX. All data objects for this feature are defaulted to be inactive. These objects can only be modified through the SNMP interface. The following list identifies and provides an explanation for each data object used to configure and monitor the ISDN operation.

Operation 4-5


- ISDN Mode controls when the ISDN mode is on or off. The default setting is off. - ISDN Modem IP Address needs to be set to the IP address of a remote ISDN modem.

The value is defaulted to 0.0.0.0. - ISDN Trap Timeout configures the maximum connection time that the GX2-CM100B

can send traps to the remote modem IP address. This time starts when the first trap is sent. This timer prevents any one GX2-CM100B from tying up the ISDN link for indeterminate periods of time. The default setting is 120 seconds. The range for this object is 0-3600.

- ISDN Ping Timeout sets the timeout value of the Ping command. This ping determines if an EMS is currently connected through the remote ISDN modem. The default setting is 500 ms.

- ISDN Backoff timer the time that the GX2-CM100B waits after the connection time timer has expired. This provides time for other devices on the PBX network to communicate with the EMS. The default setting is 120 seconds. The range for this object is 0-3600.

You can modify each of the above data objects by entering the preferred setting in the corresponding entry field and applying the change.

GX2 Lite Chassis The GX2 Lite chassis must run revision K firmware or greater in the GX2-CM100B. All features mentioned in this document are supported in the Lite chassis as described. The Lite chassis accommodates three replaceable GX2 application modules and a GX2-CM100B. The power supply is not a replaceable unit in this chassis.

Web Interface The GX2-CM100B contains a web server that will serve up embedded web pages. You can use these pages for controlling and monitoring all modules in the GX2 chassis. For a complete description of configuration and operation of the web interface refer to Appendix B, Configuration and Embedded Web Page Access.

Trap setup The GX2-CM100B firmware detects faults for each application module installed in the chassis. These faults are converted into SNMP traps and can be sent to a trap viewer or EMS. The GX2-CM100B firmware enables you to configure up to five different trap locations. This is accomplished by entering the IP address of a machine currently running trap viewing software into one of the five trap destination fields located in the control modules network table.
