OmniHawk™ 4/16 Token Ring Fiber Converter USER’S MANUAL GENERAL DESCRIPTION The OmniHawk™ 4/16 Token Ring fiber converter provides a solution to heterogeneous Token Ring media environments. Conversions between copper (CAT-5 or Type 1) and fiber optic interfaces are required in most modern Token Ring installations.
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. The DB9 connector and the chassis are designed to attach directly to the rear of a workstation network interface card.
The bottom left LED is yellow / red, the remaining three LEDs are yellow / green. The meaning of the LEDs are shown on the cover of the OmniHawk™ and in the tables below.
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).
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 diag- nostic information may be correctly interpreted. The LEDs will flash all yel- low, then either green or red.
RUN-TIME ACTIVITY & ERROR MONITORING During normal operation the fiber optic and copper ready LEDs provide continuous diagnostic information. These LEDs detect and display token ring activity. The insert status LED informs the user of the insert status of the fiber optic and copper media.
