    Installation Guide Follow the simple steps outlined in this section to install and start using the Metrobility 100Mbps Delta Class “twister” media converter. Unpack the “twister” and Accessories Check that the following parts are included in your box: • 100Mbps Delta Class “twister”...
  • Page 6: Set The Switches

    FEF also enables a port to read the alarm. To function properly, the FEF setting on both the local and remote “twister” must be the same. Metrobility 100Mbps Delta Class “twister”...
  • Page 7 For example, if FEF is enabled on both units and the remote unit’s fiber receiver (RX) stops detecting link pulses, then its fiber transmitter (TX) will send an alarm. The local “twister” will receive the alarm and report it through its fiber port FEF LED, which will turn amber. No alarm will be issued if FEF is disabled on the remote unit.
  • Page 8: Connect To The Network

    Remote Loopback Switch (RLBK) The remote loopback switch allows you to test the fiber connection between a Metrobility Delta Class “twister” and a remote Metrobility x133 unit. Enabling the switch sends a loopback request to the remote fiber port. To run the loopback test properly, the following conditions must be met: •...
  • Page 9 Twisted-Pair Connection The “twister” provides one shielded RJ-45 connector that supports a maximum segment length of up to 100 meters. Use only Category 5 or 5E UTP/STP cables. RJ-45 Fiber Optic Connections • The M133-13, -15, -1E and -1K provide one set of FX multimode SC / ST / MT-RJ / LC connectors, respectively, and support a maximum segment length of up to 2km for remote links.

Correspondingly, the -1Y cards transmit data at 1310nm and receive at 1550nm. up to 20km Metrobility Metrobility -1X Model -1Y Model Metrobility 100Mbps Delta Class “twister”...
  • Page 11: Apply Power

    Apply Power Power is applied to the “twister” through the desktop power supply. To apply power, do the following: 1. Connect the power cord (not included with international shipments) to the AC receptacle on the power supply. 2. Connect the power supply to the DC input power jack located on the back of the “twister”.
  • Page 12 • 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. Metrobility 100Mbps Delta Class “twister”...
  • Page 13: User's Guide

    This section contains information regarding the operating features of the Metrobility 100Mbps Delta Class “twister”. LED Indicators The Metrobility 100Mbps Delta Class “twister” provides several LEDs for the visible verification of unit status and proper functionality. The LEDs can assist in troubleshooting and with overall network diagnosis and management.
  • Page 14: Link Loss Carry Forward (Llcf)

    Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) The Metrobility Delta Class “twister” incorporates LLCF for troubleshoot- ing remote connections. When LLCF is enabled, the ports do not trans- mit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port.
  • Page 15 LLCF with Auto-Negotiation To prevent synchronization problems, we recommend that IMPORTANT: you do not enable both LLCF and auto-negotiation at the same time on the both the local and remote “twister”. Disable one of the functions on either unit to ensure quick link establishment. When LLCF and auto-negotiation (AN) are enabled simultaneously on both the local and remote units, as shown in the following diagram, it may take a few seconds for the “twister”...
  • Page 16: Far End Fault (Fef)

    FEF alarm will not be transmitted to “twister” A. If FEF is disabled on “twister” A, it will not be able to read the FEF alarm and its link (LK) LED will remain green. *Units are shipped with the FEF function disabled. 16 Metrobility 100Mbps Delta Class “twister”...
  • Page 17: Remote Loopback

    Remote Loopback The Delta Class “twister” supports remote loopback testing, which is typically used to verify the integrity of the fiber link to and from a remote unit. Use this feature to remotely initiate loopback testing from a central office and to monitor the results without making a trip to the remote site.
