CONNECTORS, SWITCHES & INDICATORS CONNECTORS The OmniHawk™ has three interface connectors: a fiber optic transmitter and receiver pair, an RJ45 jack, and a DB9 male connector. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS • Protocol: • Cables Fiber Optic: The DB9 connector and the chassis are designed to attach directly to the rear of a workstation network interface card. The jack screws ensure a solid connection. The RJ45 connector is designed to attach directly to a hub lobe or ring out via a CAT-5 patch cable.
C. Hub Ring Out (RJ45) to distant hub Ring In (RJ45) Application C shows the Ring Out of one hub connected to the Ring In of another hub via a pair of OmniHawk™ converters. Note that the cable from the second OmniHawk™ to the Ring In is a crossed cable. D. Distant Lobe Extension Application D shows a distant hub in lobe extension via a pair of OmniHawk™ converters.
The operational modes are: APPLICATIONS The following drawing illustrates three different applications of the OmniHawk™. 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).
POWER-ON LED TEST Every time power is newly applied to the OmniHawk™ the LEDs will flash through all possible colors to give the user the assurance that other diagnostic information may be correctly interpreted. The LEDs will flash all yellow, then either green or red. After that, the LED test is over and the LEDs will illuminate according to the mode (as set by the switches) and the current media connections.
RUN-TIME ACTIVITY & ERROR MONITORING SITE REQUIREMENTS During normal operation the fiber optic and copper ready LEDs provide continuous diagnostic information. These LEDs detect and display token ring activity. A power outlet should be available within 5 ft. of the unit. The following power supply modules are required for the following power outlets: The insert status LED informs the user of the insert status of the fiber optic and copper media.
