Introduction
The Metrobility Gigabit “twister” and SONET “twister” represent the latest
technology available for extending Gigabit Ethernet, OC-3/STM-1 and OC-12/STM-
4 networks. Since Metrobility first developed “twister” media conversion, it has set
the standard for providing affordable means of integrating mixed media networks.
As LANs/WANs grow and evolve, this technology provides an ideal solution for
building effective migration strategies.
In addition to the standalone unit, the “twister” is available as an SNMP manageable
module for the Lancast® Intelligent 7500 chassis and the Radiance central or premise
service platforms.
The information in this guide will help you to install and start using your “twister”.

Overview
The Metrobility “twister” provides seamless integration between fiber optic
multimode and singlemode segments in Gigabit Ethernet, OC-3/STM-1 or OC-12/
STM-4 environments. It supports copper to fiber translation as well as wavelength
conversion from 850nm to 1310 or 1550nm, and from 1310nm to 1550nm. With the
“twister”, you can increase your network reach up to 70km on a single segment. For
networks that require extended distance support, use the 2152-series repeaters. The
repeaters recover incoming data and regenerate the signal, thus allowing multiple
hops over any distance.
The Gigabit “twister” and SONET “twister” offer the following key features:
•
•
A Link Loss Return (LLR) switch on each fiber optic port to aid in
troubleshooting remote network connections.
Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) functionality on the fiber-to-fiber
units or Copper Loss Carry Forward (CLCF) on the copper-to-fiber
models. LLCF and CLCF work with LLR in diagnosing network
connections.
•
Signal recovery that restores data integrity, enabling repetition over
unlimited distances. (2152-series only)
•
•
•
Auto-sensing copper port that eliminates the need for crossover cables.
Full-duplex support.
Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps), OC-3/STM-1 (155Mbps) or OC-12/STM-4
(622Mbps) support.
•
A link LED on each port to indicate that the port is receiving idle link
signals or a satisfactory level of light.
•
•
•
•
IEEE 802.3 Sec. 14 / IEEE 802.3z compliance (Gigabit “twister” only).
Universal desktop power supply (100-240V / 50-60Hz).
Data transmission over singlemode fiber up to 70km.*
Numerous connectivity options, including bidirectional wavelength
division multiplexed (BWDM) fiber.
*Actual distance should be calculated based on the actual link loss budget.

Your order has been provided with the safest possible packaging, but
shipping damage does occasionally occur. Inspect your order carefully. If
you discover any shipping damage, notify your carrier and follow their
instructions for damage and claims. Save the original shipping carton in
case return or storage of the unit is necessary.
Choose an Appropriate Location
The “twister” is intended for use in either office or industrial environments.
The unit must be located within six (6) feet of the AC power source being
used and placed as far away as possible from electrical noise generating
equipment such as copiers, electrostatic printers and other motorized
equipment. If exposed twisted-pair wiring is used nearby, the wiring should
be routed as far away as possible from power cords and data cables to
minimize interference.

The unit may be oriented in any manner which allows you to make physical
connection to the power supply and leaves a minimum of six (6) inches of
space for proper ventilation.
Set the DIP Switches
The Metrobility “twister” includes a set of six DIP switches located on the
back of the unit. (See figure below.) These switches are used to enable/
disable functions and are clearly marked. Unmarked switches are nonfunc-
tional. LLR1 controls Link Loss Return on Port 1. LLR2 controls Link
Loss Return on Port 2. LLCF sets Link Loss Carry Forward on the fiber-
to-fiber repeaters (LLCF is nonfunctional on the fiber-to-fiber converters).
CLCF sets Copper Loss Carry Forward on the copper-to-fiber repeaters.

Link Loss Return (LLR) Switch
The Metrobility “twister” incorporates Link Loss Return functionality as an
aid in troubleshooting remote fiber connections. When LLR is enabled on a
port, loss of the receive (RX) link at the port disables the transmit (TX) link
on the same port. LLR is set independently on each fiber port.
LLR1 enables/disables Link Loss Return on Port 1, and LLR2 enables/
disables it on Port 2. To enable Link Loss Return, set the LLR switch to the
ON position. Set the switch OFF to disable the function. The unit is shipped
with LLR disabled. For more information, refer to Link Loss Return in the
User Guide section of this manual.
Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) Switch
On the fiber-to-fiber repeaters, Link Loss Carry Forward is provided as an
additional aid for troubleshooting remote connections. If LLCF is enabled
and the “twister” loses link on one of its receive ports, LLCF inhibits the
transmit link out the opposite port.
For example, if LLCF is enabled and the “twister” fails to detect link on
Port 2, the “twister” will not transmit link pulses out of Port 1. In doing
this, LLCF provides a way to extend the link loss indication beyond a
single segment.
Gigabit “twister” and SONET “twister”

LLCF is enabled when the LLCF switch is in the ON position. The fiber-to-
fiber repeater is shipped with LLCF disabled. On the fiber-to-fiber convert-
ers (2151-AD-, 2125-xx- and 2135-34-01), LLCF is always enabled and
cannot be disabled. Sliding the LLCF switch up and down on these models
has no effect. LLCF is not applicable to the copper-to-fiber repeaters. For
more information, refer to Link Loss Carry Forward in the User Guide
section of this manual.
Copper Loss Carry Forward (CLCF) Switch
The copper-to-fiber repeater provides Copper Loss Carry Forward to assist
in identifying a lost copper link. When CLCF is enabled and the repeater
loses link on its copper port, the card prevents its fiber port from transmit-
ting link pulses. CLCF has no effect on the copper port, which continually
transmits link pulses, even if the fiber port loses link.
CLCF is enabled when the CLCF switch is in the ON position (down). The
unit is shipped with CLCF disabled. For more information, refer to Copper
Loss Carry Forward in the User Guide section of this manual.
Connect to the Network
The “twister” offers the ease of plug-and-play installation.

Twisted-Pair Interface (2152-1x-01 only)
The twisted-pair port provides an auto-sensing RJ-45 connector that
supports a maximum segment length of 100 meters. Use Category 5e
cables. Because the port is auto-sensing, crossover cables are not needed.

Fiber Optic Interface
Multimode ports are labeled MM. Singlemode ports are labeled SM.
Extended distance ports are labeled LH (Long Haul) or ELH (Extended
Long Haul). Each fiber port provides an SC or LC connector. For informa-
tion about the cable lengths supported by each model, refer to the table in
the Technical Specifications section.
When making connections, be sure that the transmit (TX) optical conductor
of the “twister” connects to the receive (RX) optical conductor of the
connected device; and be sure that the transmit (TX) optical conductor of
the device connects to the receive (RX) optical conductor of the “twister”.
Once power is applied to the unit, correct connectivity can be verified via
the LINK LED.
BWDM Interface
The bidirectional wavelength division multiplexed (BWDM) port provides
one singlemode SC connector that supports a maximum segment length of
20km. BWDM units must always be used in complementary pairs. That is,
a -1X or -AX must be connected to a -1X or -AY. The -1X and -AX units
are designed to transmit data at a wavelength of 1550nm and receive at
1310nm. Correspondingly, the -1Y and -AY units transmit data at 1310nm
and receive at 1550nm.

Upon receiving power, the “twister” goes into normal operation mode.
Verify valid connections via the PWR LED on the front panel.
If an additional extension cord is used to connect the power supply to the
outlet, follow the guidelines below.
While one end of the AC power cord can be fitted with whatever plug is
standard for the country of operation, the end that connects to the “twister”
unit’s power supply must have a female plug that fits this type of AC
receptacle.
• AC 115V (North American): Use a UL-listed and CSA-certified cord
set consisting of a minimum No. 18 AWG, type SVT or SJT three-
conductor cord (15 ft. maximum length) and a parallel blade ground-
ing-type attachment plug rated 15A, 125V.
• AC 230V (USA): Use a UL-listed cord set consisting of a minimum
No. 18 AWG, type SVT three-conductor cord (15 ft. maximum
length) and a Tandem blade grounding-type attachment plug rated
15A, 250V.
• 240V (outside USA): Use a cord set consisting of a minimum No. 18
AWG cord and grounding-type attachment plug rated 15A, 250V.
The cord set should have the appropriate safety approvals for the
country in which the “twister” is being installed and be marked HAR.

LED Indicators
The Metrobility “twister” provides three LEDs on the front panel for the visible
verification of unit status and proper functionality. The LEDs also aid in trouble-
shooting and overall network diagnosis and management.
When lit, the LEDs indicate the following status:
• PWR (power): The unit is powered ON.
• LINK (Port 1): Port 1 is receiving idle link signals (if Port 1 is a copper port)
or the input light level is satisfactory (if Port 1 is a fiber port).
• LINK (Port 2): The input light level is satisfactory on Port 2.

Link Loss Return (LLR)
The fiber ports on the “twister” have been designed with Link Loss Return function-
ality for troubleshooting remote connections. When LLR is enabled*, the port’s
transmitter (TX) shuts down if its receiver (RX) fails to detect a valid receive link.
LLR should only be enabled on one end of a cable and is typically enabled on either
the unmanaged or remote device. LLR works in conjunction with LLCF and CLCF.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with good link status
using two “twister” units for remote connectivity. Note that LLR and LLCF are
enabled as indicated in the diagram.

partner, “twister” A. On the fiber-to-fiber models with LLCF also enabled on both
units, the no-link condition is carried forward to the switch/hub where a trap is
generated to the management station. The network administrator can then determine
the source of the loss.

Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)
The fiber-to-fiber “twister” units incorporate LLCF functionality to assist in trouble-
shooting a remote connection. When LLCF is enabled*, the ports do not transmit link
signals until they receive link signals from the opposite port. When a lost link signal
is returned to an unmanaged “twister” unit, that lost link must then be carried
forward to a managed device (switch/hub) for trap generation. LLCF works in
conjunction with LLR.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration with good link status
using two fiber-to-fiber “twister” units for remote connectivity. Note that LLCF is
enabled as indicated in the diagram.
