Fiber to Desk Repeater
User’s Manual
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.
OPERATION
Switches & Indicators
The OmniRepeater 400FTD has two switches. The switch on the left, switch 1,
controls the polarity of the data. Switch 2 turns the fiber test mode on and off.

Both switches are placed in the down position at the factory. The following table
explains the switch settings.
Fiber Optic Media Test - OmniRepeater 400FTD & Omnitron 5250 Fiber Device
To test the integrity of fiber optic cables as well as the fiber receiver of any Omnitron
5250 fiber device (such as the OmniStar 400, OmniMux 400, or OmniMux 400XL),
connect the transmitter of the OmniRepeater 400FTD to the receiver of the other
Omnitron 5250 fiber device. If the fiber is unbroken, the fiber link activity LED of
the far-end Omnitron 5250 device will illuminate green. Test each cable of the
fiber optic pair in this manner.

DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
The OmniRepeater 400FTD diagnostic features make it easy to install and maintain.
There are three levels of diagnostics: Self Test, Fiber Installation Test, and run-
time activity and error monitoring.
If the fiber optic cables are unbroken, the fiber link LED will illuminate green. As
before, note that the fiber test mode LED will be red, and the Power LED will be green.
Self Test
The power-on self test ensures that the OmniRepeater 400FTD is fully operational.
When power is applied to the unit, self testing occurs. At the end of the self test, all
four LEDs will illuminate for half a second, then green for half a second. After that,
the POWER LED will remain green providing a continuous indication that the
external power supply is operational.
NOTE: TURN OFF THE FIBER INSTALLATION TEST MODE TO RETURN TO
NORMAL OPERATIONAL MODE.
Fiber Optic Media Test - 2 OmniRepeater 400FTD’s
To test the integrity of fiber optic cables that are already installed, use two
OmniRepeater 400FTD units connected to each other in TEST mode. If the fiber
media is unbroken, the link LEDs on each unit will illuminate green.
Fiber Installation Test
The OmniRepeater 400FTD includes a built-in fiber installation tester. The fiber
installation test mode may be activated by moving the TEST witch to the TEST
position (up). This diagnostic feature provides the installer with a visual indication
that the fiber optic cabling is intact and correctly installed. During the fiber test
mode a valid frame is continuously transmitted over the fiber optic link. Any
Omnitron 5250 fiber device (such as the OmniStar 400, the OmniMux 400, or the
OmniMux 400XL) at the far end of the fiber optic cable will illuminate its fiber optic
activity LED when the fiber optic cable is unbroken and the transmitting fiber is
correctly connected at the far end device receive port.

WARNING
Rx
During the fiber installation test mode, disconnect
any UTP and STP connections to the host workstation
controller to prevent controller conflicts.
Again, note that the fiber test mode LED will be red and the Power LED will be green.
Refer to FIBER INSTALLATION TEST CONFIGURATIONS for testing suggestions
NOTE: TURN OFF THE FIBER INSTALLATION TEST MODE TO RETURN TO
NORMAL OPERATIONAL MODE.

Run-time Activity & Error Monitoring
CONFIGURATION
During normal operation the Link and Port LEDs provide continuous diagnostic
information. These LEDs detect and display true link and port activity and data
parity errors. This is accomplished by individual port monitoring and searching
for legal frame header patterns.
Normal
a. Turn off the terminal or printer being attached.
b. Attach the terminal or printer with the appropriate cable to the OmniRepeater
400FTD.
Upon detection of a valid frame pattern, a green LED indicator displays the
detected activity. This feature assists in installation and in the selection of the
correct polarity baluns and/or setting the polarity of the switch.
c. Attach the fiber optic cables to the transmit and receive fiber optic connectors.
d. Plug the external power supply into the appropriate AC wall outlet.
e. Plug the power jack into the OmniRepeater 400FTD power connector.
The data is analyzed for correct parity and the detection of parity error is
indicated by a red LED. This feature facilitates the continuous monitoring of
signal and line quality.
f. The LEDs will all illuminate red then green to indicate that the self test is
complete.The Power LED will remain green, while the Link and Port LED will
reflect the current operational status.
INSTALLATION
Refer to the APPLICATIONS section for useful application information.
Fiber Installation Test Configurations
Unpacking
a. Visual Inspection – Before unpacking, a visual inspection should be conducted
in order to detect any physical damage to the equipment. Any evidence of the
damage should be noted and reported immediately.
The OmniRepeater 400FTD supports several test configurations.
WARNING
b. Unpacking – Place shipping container on a flat surface, cut straps or tape,
open top. Take out each item carefully and place securely on a clean flat surface.
Return all packing material into a container (foam, boxes, etc.), close and
store away for future reuse.
During all fiber installation test modes, disconnect
any UTP and STP connections to the host workstation
controller to prevent controller conflicts.
c. Inspection – Inspect each item for any apparent damage, any evidence of
damage should be noted and reported immediately.
Loopback Fiber Optic Media Test - Via Patch Cable
d. Content – Review the content; the following items should be included:
To test the integrity of fiber optic media connect the fiber optic patch cable in a
loopback fashion (i.e., one end in the transmit port and the other in the receive
port). If the fiber is unbroken, the OmniRepeater 400FTD fiber link LED will illuminate
green. If the fiber is partially or completely broken the LED will be red or off.
