Introduction
The OmniStar GX2 is a fiber optic broadband transmission platform for headend and hub locations
that supports advanced broadband hybrid fiber/coax telecommunications systems. The GX2 series
is a complete line of headend fiber optic products designed to transport video and data signals in
CATV systems and related applications. The GX2 system is flexible in its application and includes a
series of modules and options that you can select to accommodate system requirements.
The GX2-CM100B control module supervises all of the application modules and power supplies
within the GX2-HSG* chassis while also serving as the communication gateway between the
modules and the various user interfaces. It also reports any alarms to the network management
system.
Although the application modules can operate without it, the control module is necessary to set up
and monitor modules through either the display option on the shelf door unit (SDU) or the SNMP
interface. The GX2-CM100B is also necessary to enable some of the advanced OmniStar GX2
features, such as quick swap configuration, where replacement modules are recognized and updated
with the prestored settings.

Overview
This chapter 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.

Module Description
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
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.
2-2
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.
505904-001 Rev B
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.
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.

Miscellaneous Functions
In addition to the primary functions, the GX2-CM100B performs several auxiliary tasks within the
GX2 system. The most significant of these include:
Fan Operation
Temperature Sensing
You can use a set of relay contacts to power external alarm equipment.
The dry contact closes when the control module detects any alarm. The
contacts are rated at 250 mA / 40 VAC or VDC maximum.
Memory
The EEPROM stores the identity of the module. This includes date code,
serial number, model number, manufacturing location, and alarm
information.

Downloading Firmware
To download firmware using the Web Browser refer to Appendix D, Configuration and Embedded
Web Page Access, for instructions.
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.

Operation
4-5
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 D, 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.

To ensure that you can properly communicate between the GX2-CM100B and a host computer using
the front panel, you must set up the GX2-CM100B IP address and the host computers IP address to
be on the subnet. The subnet for the default front panel IP address (192.0.0.1) is contained in the
first three numbers of the IP address. We recommend that you change the host computers IP
address to 192.0.0.5 if the front panels IP address is at its default value.
If the host computer is connected to a network and, depending on the GX2-CM100Bs assigned IP
address, the network Ethernet port IP address, and the network Ethernet port mask, you may have
to modify the Gateway IP address. The system administrator should be able to provide you with
these parameters. To ensure that the changes made to the computers IP address are incorporated
successfully, you should reboot the computer.
To change the IP address using Windows 2000:
1.

software. To perform downloads, you must have a tftp server running on the same subnet as the
GX2-CM100B. Refer to the servers help menu for setup operations.
Note A GX2 application module takes approximately 3 minutes to complete
programming its memory with new firmware from the GX2-CM100B. The
GX2-CM100B takes approximately 12 minutes to complete the same process when
programming its own memory with new firmware.
To download new firmware to a module in the GX2-HSG* using the Web Browser interface:
1.
Copy the preferred downloadable file to the server machine. This file can be for a GX2
application module, power supply, or the control module. These files have the extension
.GX2.
2.
Set the TFTP Server address field in the Network menu with the TFTP servers IP address.
Press Enter to set entry.
3.
4.
Enter the name of the firmware upgrade file in the Filename parameter field.
5.
Press Enter to initiate the file transfer from the server to the GX2-CM100B.
You must now select whether you do or do not want the GX2-CM100B to reset the upgraded
module after the download is complete.
6.
From the Auto Reset parameter field select activate to reset the upgraded module and
run the newly loaded firmware.
7.
From the Auto Reset parameter field, select deactivate to hold, but not run, the newly
loaded firmware until a switch bank command is issued or the GX2-CM100B is given the
activate command.
8.
Enter the slot(s) in the Download Slots field for which you want to download new
firmware. Press Enter to initiate the firmware upgrade.
9.
You can view the status of the download process from the Download Status parameter
field.
10. To view the most up-to-date status, select the Download tab to update the parameters
on this panel.
If you set the Auto Reset parameter field activate during a download, the firmware will switch to
the newly downloaded firmware upon completion of the download. When this happens, a brief
interruption of service may occur while the module reboots.
