1.1 Welcome
Thank you for choosing FRM220-2000MS Gigabit Ethernet OAM/IP Media Converter. Throughout, this OAM/IP Media Converter will be
referred to as FRM220-2000MS or in an abbreviated form of just 2000MS. If you would like to skip right to the installation of the converter,
proceed to Chapter 2.
This manual is used to explain the hardware installation procedures and operation of FRM220-2000MS and present its capabilities and
specifications. This manual is divided into 3 chapters, the Introduction, Installation, and Provisioning Chapters.
Installers should carefully read the Chapters 1&2, Introduction and Installation. The divisions in that manual are intended for use by personnel

its intended use; Operating Personnel would use Console and Web Based Management Chapters and Appendices to become familiar with the
converter and settings. Network Administrators should read the chapters on Console, Web Based, and SNMP Management and Trouble
Shooting to become familiar with the diagnostic capabilities, network settings and management strategies.
1.2 Product Description
FRM220-2000MS is an electrical to optical media converter card for Gigabit Ethernet. The card is compatible with all FRM220 chassis options,
may be used and managed standalone or inserted into the managed chassis with NMC. These converters support embedded stand-alone Web
based management, Telnet, and SNMP over IP networks, as well as IEEE802.3ah OAM for remote in-band management. FRM220-2000MS
also features a local console port with USB Type-C™ type connector to connect to a laptop or PC host with terminal emulation such as PuTTY
or TeraTerm Pro.
FRM220-2000MS is an IEEE802.3ah OAM compliant copper to fiber Gigabit Ethernet solution designed to make conversion between
10/100/1000Base-TX and 100M/1000M SFP LC connector. When deployed as a stand-alone solution, this media converter incorporates an
easy-to-use Web user interface for operation, administration, and maintenance of both local and remotely connected FRM220-2000MS
converters. By offering 802.3ah OAM compliance, this converter can be linked to any 802.3ah compliant fiber switch and support loop back and
dying gasp functions. All functions of this converter and the remotely connected converter can be configured and monitored via in-band
management, including band-width control, duplex, speed, VLAN configuration and more. When deployed in a managed FRM220 chassis with
NMC, all configuration is done by the NMC and will override any other settings (local console or any standalone settings).
