Overview
Introduction
Thank you f or choosing the “twister”™ Media Converter 7000.
The “twister” Media Converter provides a cost-effective means of integrat­ing a mixed media environment. The information in this guide helps you to install and start using your “twister” Media Converter 7000.
Your “twister”™ Media Converter 7000 offers transparent media conver­sion and provides an effective means for integrating coax, Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair and singlemode or multimode fiber optic LAN segments into either switched or shared Ethernet and Fast Ethernet environments. All “twister” solutions provide media conversion with a low bit delay. The modules reliably convert all signal activity from one cable medium to the other ensuring accurate data flow across the network.
These IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u compliant media converters are compatible with Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices from other leading network technology providers. This increases the flexibility of network configura­tions by ensuring reliable data transmission in multi-vendor, as well as mixed media, environments.
Whether you are updating or expanding your existing network, the “twister”™ Media Converter 7000 supports a wide range of configuration needs. Each chassis unit supports multiple 10 and 100Mbps media types— via “twister” modules—in any combination. In addition, the “redundant twister”™ modules and dual load-sharing power supplies provide redun­dancy for uninterrupted network operation. While the “twister” Media Converter 7000 chassis support media conversion for any 7000 Module, only certain modules will work in conjunction with the TELCO connector on the back of these chassis. Please refer to the section in this User Guide titled “twister” 7000 Modules for a complete description of each module.
The “twister” Media Converter 7000 offers front accessible network connections for ease of installation and maintenance. For high density implementations, the units have rear-mounted 50-pin TELCO connectors that provide connection capability for up to six (6) “twister” modules each.

Operating Features of the twister” Power Supply Modules
Load Sharing Power Supply Modules (LE7312A-R2, LE7312-PS-R2)
When a chassis is equipped with two load-sharing power supply modules, they operate in tandem and share the connected load. This decreases the demand put on each individual unit.
There are two LEDs on the front panel of each Power Supply Module. When illuminated, these LEDs indicate the following:
POWER LED indicates the connection of an active power source to that Power Module
ACTIVE LED indicates that the twister chassis is getting its power from that particular Power Module
Because the LE7312A-R2 and LE7312-PS-R2 load-shares power, both LEDs – on both units – are illuminated simultaneously.
If the power source to one of the modules should fail or be removed, the remaining module automatically takes over the entire load. This will be indicated by the following:
The ACTIVE and POWER LEDs on one of the power modules turn off.
The ACTIVE and POWER LEDs on the other power module remain illuminated.

Power Supply Service Instructions
The following instructions explain the procedure to follow when replacing a Power Supply Module or installing a second Power Supply Module in the twister LE7306A, LE7312A-R2 or LE7312-PS-R2 chassis.
IMPORTANT
The Power Supply Module is an open frame-type power
supply LIVE VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT and poses
a danger if the module is installed improperly.
Remove all power cords from AC receptacles located on the Power Supply Module. Do not apply power to the module when it is removed from the chassis.
Use a Number 1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the retaining screw located on the front panel.
Turn the thumb screw to the left to un-secure the module/blank panel from the chassis.
Remove the Power Supply Module/blank panel.
Page 34
34 User Guide
Insert the module into the slot making sure that the edges are in the guides. Do not force the Power Supply Module into the chassis unnecessarily. The module should slide in easily.
Slide the Power Supply Module into the chassis until the front panel is flush and even with the chassis.
Turn the thumb screw to the right and tighten to secure the power module into the chassis.
Secure the front panel of the Power Supply Module to the chassis with the retaining screw and using the Number 1 Phillips screwdriver.

Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)
The twister modules (with the exception of the 10Mbps BNC and TELCO modules) have been designed with an LLCF function for troubleshooting a remote connection. The modules are shipped with the LLCF disabled.
When LLCF is enabled, the FX ports as well as the TX ports on the twister modules, do not transmit a link signal until they receive a link signal from the opposite port. For example, if LLCF is enabled and two twister modules are connected via a fiber cable with nothing else connected to them, the Link LED does not illuminate. When a valid link is established at the twisted-pair port, a complete connection is accomplished.
The diagram below shows a typical network configuration using a twister module for remote connectivity:
If the fiber connection breaks, or the remote device fails, the “twister” module carries that link loss all the way to the switch/hub which generates a trap to the management station. The administrator can then look at the module to determine the source of the loss.
IMPORTANT: When connecting a “twister module with LLCF enabled to an auto-negotiating device, force both sides of the configuration to either 10 or 100Mbps full or half duplex. This allows the interface module to immediately see link pulses and start passing data.
