Device description
Congratulations on your purchase of Optocore AutoRouter
.
Optocore Autorouter is a plug-and-play solution that is ready to be used straight from the box. It does not require
any initial setup or configuration. It contains pre-programmed special firmware stored in the device. The firmware
is not related to any externally connected devices or their firmware. The firmware should only be changed after
prior consultation with the support team.
The main task performed by Optocore Autorouter is to transform fiber ring-based topology into the star, where
Optocore Autorouter is the central point. Optocore Autorouter automatically discovers all connected devices and
creates loop connectivity between them. Once a device is disconnected or powered down, Autorouter
immediately closes the loop with the remaining devices. It always discovers and switches the links automatically
to establish redundancy, without any user interaction – there is no need to control or change fiber patching by
user. Optocore Autorouter is an automatic intelligent patchbay that speeds up system layout and configuration for
any production. It can be used in the installation and live sound market, where mixed ring/star or star topology is
more desirable due to a star based fibre cable layout.
Optocore Autorouter is compatible with all major fiber-based ring systems: Optocore, Broaman, ProGrid
Optocore, DiGiCo Optocore, Yamaha TWINLANe and AVID AVB.
Device can be equipped with up to 40 duplex LC sockets what allows up to 20 different connections from different
locations, devices or device groups (sub-rings). Each device/location should be connected with two duplex fibers.
Optocore Autorouter is available in four different versions: Autorouter-5 (5 locations – 10 duplex LC connectors),
Autorouter-10 (10 locations – 20 duplex LC connectors), Autorouter-OAR-15 (15 locations – 30 duplex LC
connectors), Autorouter-20 (20 locations – 40 duplex LC connectors).
Each Optocore Autorouter port can be equipped with singlemode or multimode transceiver.
Please note:
Optocore Autorouter is transparent to the networks it routs and is not a part of the
network it operates.
