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.

Fiber optic cabling is the media of choice for connecting separate buildings
within a campus network. Even trunk connections between floors of a single
building benefit from the advantages of fiber optic media. In heavy industrial
settings, fiber optic media may provide the only reliable connectivity even
when the distances traveled are short. Moreover, a growing number of work­station interface cards now feature fiber optic connection.

12

The OmniHawk™ is packaged for a wide variety of media conversion appli­cations. It can be wall mounted, rack mounted, or attached directly to the
DB9 connector of a workstation.

ALWAYS CONNECT

The OmniHawk™ is specifically designed with an intelligent connection al­gorithm which assures dependable communications. Whether it is attached
to passive or active devices, the OmniHawk™ will always make a good
connection. The fiber optic interface adheres to the IEEE 802.5j specifica­tion for fiber optic attachment.
