Omnitron Systems Technology OmniHawk Applications, Diagnostic Features, Automatic Sensing

The operational modes are:

1.AUTOMATIC SENSING

2.UTP/STP —> RO or STATION

3.UTP/STP —> RI or LOBE

The power / error LED turns red when an attachment error occurs. An error can only occur when attaching to active devices (devices which signal for insertion with phantom current or the fiber optic key). The error condition occurs when copper device initiates the phantom current and the fiber optic device initiates the fiber optic key. In Token Ring, the active insertion pro- cess may only be directed from one direction.

DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES

The OmniHawk™ diagnostic features make it easy to install and maintain. There are four levels of diagnostics: Power-On LED Test, Self Test / Media Test, Installation Test, and run-time ready and error monitoring.

A. STP Workstation (DB9) to distant hub (RJ45)

Application A shows an STP workstation connecting via its DB9 connector directly to one OmniHawk™, which is connected to a second OmniHawk™ via fiber optic cables. The last connection to the hub is made via a standard CAT-5 patch cable.

B. Fiber optic Workstation to hub (RJ45)

Application B shows a fiber optic workstation connecting to an OmniHawk™

viits fiber optic cables. The OmniHawk™ connects to the hub via a stan- dard CAT-5 patch cable.
