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 work-

station interface cards now feature fiber optic connection.

The OmniHawk™ is packaged for a wide variety of media conversion appli-

cations. 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 al-

gorithm 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 specifica-

tion for fiber optic attachment.
