Omnitron Systems Technology OmniMux 400 - Manual

„ Twinax 5250 and 5250 Express compatible multiplexer
that concentrates AS/400 or system 3X twinax cables
and delivers them to distances up to 25,000 feet via a
fiber pair, twisted pair or a single twinax.
„ Seamlessly connects to IBM AS/400 and 3X local and
remote twinax controllers and workstations.
„ Operates with traditional twinax cabling or modern
fiber and twisted pair wiring.
„ Retiming repeater technology regenerates and reclocks
data, eliminating clock jitter and noise.
„ Digital Phase Locked Architecture provides acquisition
of data rates of 1 Mbps for 5250 or 2 Mbps for 5250
Express (-2%, +4%), resulting in high immunity to
noise and crosstalk.
„ Twinax or RJ11/45 connectors and polarity controls
provide easy installation and flexibility.
„ Clear display and software independence make
installation and monitoring intuitive and easy.

OmniMux ™ 400
AS400/3X 5250 and 5250 Express Multiplexer
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
The OmniMux ™ 400 is an IBM compatible multiplexer that
provides part or full local or remote 5250 and 5250 Express twinax
controller connectivity to a distant location. It replaces up to
eight AS/400 twinax cables with a single link. This link may be a
twinax, twisted pair or a multimode or single-mode fiber pair.
Optionally, the OmniMux can eliminate the twinax distribution
box ("brick") and provide a direct single cable connection to the
host controller, replacing all host controller twinax with a single
DB25 cable. The OmniMux supports up to 56 addresses per link.
The OmniMux operates as a multiplexer (Mux), a demultiplexer
(Demux), a demultiplexer-star (Demux-Star) or a star.
In the Mux and Demux modes, the OmniMux operates in pairs.
On the host side, the Mux is connected to the local or remote
controller’s twinax connectors, concentrating their twinax ports
into a single link. At the far end, the Demux recreates each host
port. Each port behaves as the original host port it is recreating.
It can connect to the distant workstations via twinax daisy chains,
twisted pair star hubs, such as the OmniStar
™ , or via fiber to
desk repeaters, such as the OmniRepeater ™ FTD.
