Safety Considerations

Warning

The operating description in this Instruction Manual is for use by qualified personnel only. T o avoid
electrical shock, do not perform any servicing of this unit other than that contained in the operating
instructions, unless you are qualified and certified to do so by Omnitron Systems T echnology , Inc.

Caution

All user-required operations can be performed without opening the unit. Never attempt to open
or remove the cover or tamper with the unit or tamper with the power supply module.

Warranty

This product is warranted to the original purchaser against defects in material and workmanship
for a period of TWO YEARS from the date of shipment. A LIFETIME warranty may be obtained by
the original purchaser by REGISTERING this product with Omnitron within 90 days from the date
of shipment. TO REGISTER, COMPLETE AND MAIL OR FAX THE REGISTRATION CARD INCLUDED
IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL TO THE INDICATED ADDRESS. During the warranty period,
Omnitron will, at its option, repair or replace a product which is proven to be defective.

For warranty service, the product must be sent to an Omnitron designated facility, at Buyer’s
expense. Omnitron will pay the shipping charge to return the product to Buyer’s designated US
address using Omnitron’s standard shipping method.

Limitation of Warranty

The foregoing warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from improper or inadequate use and/or
maintenance of the equipment by Buyer, Buyer-supplied equipment, Buyer-supplied interfacing, un­authorized modifications or tampering with equipment (including removal of equipment cover by per­sonnel not specifically authorized and certified by Omnitron), misuse, operating outside the environ­mental specification of the product (including but not limited to voltage, ambient temperature, radia­tion, unusual dust, etc.), or improper site preparation or maintenance.

No other warranty is expressed or implied. Omnitron specifically disclaims the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose.

Exclusive Remedies

The remedies provided herein are the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedies. Omnitron shall not be
liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, whether based on con­tract, tort, or any legal theory.

Application 7. Flat Fiber Backbone

This application depicts a flat fiber backbone where hubs are stacked, and connected via extended

fiber uplinks. As shown in this example, the module slots are used both for stacking as
well as for fiber modules. Using the extended distance modules isolates the collision
domains between each stack and facilitates a network that can span up to 58 km (35 mi.)
per uplink.

Application 8. Collapsed / Switched Fiber Backbone

This application depicts a collapsed fiber backbone where hubs are stacked, and
connected via fiber and UTP uplinks to a single location, 10/100 auto-sensing switch with
fiber ports, in a star fashion. This application is similar to the flat backbone with the
difference of being a single point of management and control for the different subnetworks.
In this case two stacks of hubs, B and D, are connected via extended distance fiber
modules to the fiber ports of the switch. The hub in location C is connected via UTP to a
10/100 UTP port on the switch and is able to reach a distance of 100 m (328 ft.).

FCC Warning

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide a reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. The
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operating this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user authority to operate the equipment.
