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.
