GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The OmniRepeater 400FTD is a fourth generation IBM 5250 compatible active repeater. The OmniRepeater 400FTD provides fiber-to-the-desktop, extending the applicability of the 5250 protocol. Four models offer a selection of fiber (single or multimode) and power supply (110 or 220 Volt) type. The following models are discussed in this manual:

STANDARD	DESCRIPTION
2900-UDF1	Multi-mode fiber, 110 Volt power supply
2900-UDF2	Multi-mode fiber, 220 Volt power supply
2910-UDF1	Singlemode fiber, 110 Volt power supply
2910-UDF2	Singlemode fiber, 220 Volt power supply

The OmniRepeater 400FTD is capable of reliably locking and maintaining synchronization with data rate variations of -2% to +4%. It features a Digital Phase Locked Architecture which facilitates reliable operation with a high noise immunity. It allows the OmniRepeater 400FTD to reliably synchronize and lock to legitimate data frames and also to discriminate and ignore any open, shorted or noisy inputs (induced or crosstalk). This makes the OmniRepeater 400FTD a reliable solution in environments where high availability, stability, reliability and low maintenance are important.

OPERATION

Switches & Indicators

The OmniRepeater 400FTD has two switches. The switch on the left, switch 1, controls the polarity of the data. Switch 2 turns the fiber test mode on and off.
