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.

The TELCO connection provides a convenient means of connecting to an MDF-ready hub, switch or patch panel.
The “twister” Media Converter 7000 offers three models with TELCO connectors. The LE7312A-PS-R2 is a 12-slot 2U chassis with dual 50-pin TELCO connectors. This chassis is available with dual load-sharing power supplies to ensure essential non-stop networking for high priority traffic and business-critical applications. The LE7312A-R2 is a 12-slot 2U chassis with a single power supply and dual 50-pin TELCO connectors. These rack-mountable models fit standard 19” equipment racks and the 2U chassis height provides housing for the maximum number of intelligent “twister” modules. The LE7306A “twister” media converter, a 6-slot 2U chassis with a single power supply and a single 50-pin TELCO connector, is designed for environments where the flexibility and function­ality of a “twister” chassis is required but where a smaller number of slots are needed. This unit is available with an optional wall-mountable bracket for convenient attachment to a wall or other vertical surface.
The “twister” Media Converter 7000 provides the following key features:
A Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) enable/disable switch is installed on the modules* as an aid to troubleshooting a remote connection. Refer to the section of this guide titled Link Loss Carry Forward for more information.
An MDI-II/MDI-X switch is installed on all TP ports.
**
Fused power on each module protects the rest of the modules in the chassis from a short circuit. The power (PWR) LED on an affected module does not illuminate if the fuse is blown.
Auto polarity support on all twisted-pair ports.
“redundant twister” modules can be configured to operate in Dynamic Recovery Mode (DRM) to ensure session integrity and increased uptime, or in Network Select Mode (NSM) to redirect traffic and add security through link isolation.
* Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) functionality is not provided on the LE7313C-R2 (BNC) or the LE73XXC (TELCO) modules.
** This is not applicable to the LE7302C (TELCO) module.
