The Express models operate with both the 5250 and 5250 Express
protocols. Each port provides data rates of 1 Mbps for standard
5250 and 2 Mbps for 5250 Express protocol.
The OmniStar 400 is completely software-transparent and no setup
is required.
Inputs: The OmniStar 400 is built around a Digital Phased Locked
Architecture (PLA). This technology facilitates effective
discriminating between true data and noise. A port priority
mechanism provides isolation between ports, thus reducing any
crosstalk effect. The incoming Manchester encoded data is sampled
at 16 samples per bit, which facilitates digital filtering of noise and
crosstalk. A unique clock recovery facilitates the capture of data
with rate variations of -2% to +4%.
Processing: Once the data is recovered and synchronized, it is
processed. The processor analyzes the frame header. If a legal header
is detected, the port is “marked” active and the data is allowed to
flow through the star.
Outputs: The retransmitted data is regenerated, reclocked and lost
sync bits are recovered. The data is reclocked at 50% duty cycle to
eliminate clock jitter. The signal is restored to nominal amplitude
and the pre-distortion logic compensates for anticipated phase shift
and attenuation.
Displays: True data activity and parity errors are displayed by green
and red LEDs. The green activity LEDs assist in monitoring signal
strength and polarity while the red Parity Error LED assists in
monitoring connectivity quality, signal strength, impedance
mismatches and reflections.
OPERATION
The following diagram depicts two typical applications of the
OmniStar
400. A dual star is used to show the two different cases:
In the first case a host (a) is connected directly to the star via twinax
(b) cable. In the second case the host (a) is connected to the star via
a balun and a UTP wire (c).
In both cases the workstations are connected to the star via UTP cables.
