1 INTRODUCTION 1. 1 About the LV2000 The Metrodata LV2000 is used to extend a LAN segment over an LVDS network connection, such as a satellite modem across a satellite link to a remote site. LAN data is adapted to a synchronous format using HDLC as a transport mechanism.

Frames longer than this are discarded. There is usually an LV2000 at each end of the link, and maximum efficiency is achieved by not transmitting the 4 byte FCS field of the MAC frame end to end, but recalculating it before transmission at the far end.

200-100mA. The LV2000 must be connected to safety earth for correct operation. The LV2000 power supply should be connected to a supply socket that is physically located close to the LV2000 and is easily accessible. Safety Notes: Excessive voltages are present inside the unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit, and the cover should not be removed by unqualified personnel.

MDI-X configurations. This removes the potential requirement for Crossover cables when connecting LANs to the LV2000 whatever LAN equipment is being used. The port also automatically negotiates the LAN speed and operates at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, and negotiates whether operation should be in full or half duplex mode, providing that it is negotiating with another auto-negotiating port.

Bit-switch ON: The Crypto Resynch function is DISABLED Bit-switch OFF: The Crypto Resynch function is ENABLED. when the LV2000 detects a loss of synch on the receive data, it will pulse the RS control signal for half a second and then wait for 5 seconds before checking for synchronisation again.

LV2000 unit is invalid. When synchronisation is lost, it is useful for the LV2000 to be able to detect this and automatically take action to resynchronise and restore the data link.
INSTALLATION & SET-UP 3. 4 Optional rackmounting Rackmounting kits may be used to mount two LV2000 units side by side in a 19” rack. The kit, Part no 80-05-256, has a recessed plate to permit cable or fibre bends to be made within the envelope of a 19”...

LAN connection, and investigatory action should be taken on the LAN and/ or its cables. Note that for 100M Full Duplex operation between the LV2000 and a fixed (i.e. non- negotiating) LAN port, bit-switch 6 must be set to FULL (OFF state) and Bit-switch 7 must be set to 100M (OFF state).
