Omnitron Systems Technology OmniRepeater 400FTD - Manual

DESCRIPTION
The OmniRepeater™ 400FTD is an AS/400 5250 and 5250
Express data repeater and fiber converter. It converts between UTP
and fiber and provides connectivity for one 5250 host port. It
supports multimode fiber for distances up to 15,000 feet and single-
mode fiber for up to 30,000 feet. It supports unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) for distances up to 3,000 feet. It can be utilitized in
fiber backbones or in fiber-to-the-desk applications.
The FTD utilizes Omnitron’s Digital Phase Locked Architecture
(PLA) for data detection, synchronization, retiming and repeating.
This technology enables the reliable detection and
synchronization of data with -2% to +4% data rate variation. It
also facilitates lost-bit recovery thus enhancing connectivity reliability.
Interface to the FTD is via UTP RJ11/RJ45 and fiber via ST
connectors. For UTP applications, at least category 3 wiring is
recommended. Lower grade wiring may be acceptable for shorter
distances. Both single-mode and multimode fiber models are
available.
The FTD includes a built-in fiber tester. This feature eliminates the
need for an expensive fiber tester and helps in installation and fault
isolation. It is compatible with all of Omnitron’s 5250 fiber products,
thus providing independent end-to-end cable testing.
The diagnostic features of the OmniRepeater 400 FTD assist in
both installation and monitoring of normal operation. Each data
frame is checked and true activity and data errors are reported. They
