The figure below shows Omni Switch/Router chassis used in the wiring closet and as a
network backbone switch/router connecting the wiring closets and server farm. On the third

tions with an auto-sensing Ethernet module. In addition, this Omni Switch/Router chassis
connects the workstations to a local server with a Gigabit Ethernet module. On the second
floor, an Omni Switch/Router connects legacy Token Ring workstations. On the first floor, the
Omni Switch/Router connects the networks on the upper floors to the server farm using a
Gigabit Ethernet module.
