Overview
The Metrobility 10/100 AutoTwister provides seamless migration between
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks, in addition to built-in media conversion
allowing high-speed integration of ber optic and twisted-pair segments. A complete
set of LEDs allows for quick status verication, and a bank of DIP switches provides
added versatility on each port. To optimize your Ethernet network, each port operates
independently in either half or full duplex.
The 10/100 AutoTwister standalone units offer the following key features:
• Auto-negotiation switch on the twisted-pair interface.
• Half to full duplex conversion.
• Link loss auto-recovery on the ber optic port.
• Link Loss Return (LLR) functionality to aid in troubleshooting a remote
network connection on the ber optic port.
• Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) functionality to aid in troubleshooting a
remote network connection.
• An MDI-II to MDI-X switch that eliminates the need for crossover cables
on the twisted-pair port.
• Full-duplex ow control on each port.
• Store-and-forward switching to improve overall network performance by
buffering packets during times of heavy congestion and to prevent the forwarding of corrupted packets.
• High-performance switching engine that performs forwarding and ltering
at full wire speed (148,800 packets per second).
• The ability to learn up to 1,024 MAC addresses.
• Low last-bit-in to rst-bit-out delay.
• VLAN tagging support.
• Discards short packets (less than 64 bytes) and packets with CRC or align-
ment errors.
• Maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of 1522 bytes.
• 128K bytes of buffer memory.
• Full compliance with applicable sections of IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, and
IEEE 802.3x.

Installation Guide
Follow the simple steps outlined in this section of the guide to install and start
using the Metrobility 10/100 AutoTwister.
Unpack the AutoTwister and Accessories
Check that the following components have been included:
1
• 10/100 AutoTwister
• Power supply
• Power cord
• Four (4) rubber feet
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 if return or
storage of the unit is necessary.
Choose an Appropriate Location
The 10/100 AutoTwister is intended for use in either ofce or industrial
2
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 units 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 Switches
MDI-II to MDI-X Switch
3
To eliminate the need for crossover cables, the 10/100 AutoTwister includes
an MDI-II to MDI-X switch for the twisted-pair port. This push-button
switch is located in the center of the front panel and allows setup in either
straight-through or crossover congurations. (See Figure 1.)
When setting the switch, observe the positioning of the following symbols:
Metrobility 10/100 AutoTwister 5
A device that is wired straight through needs one crossover connection:
If the cable is…
straight through
crossover
… the MDI-II to MDI-X Switch Setting should be
X
II
A device that is wired crossover needs a parallel connection:
If the cable is…
straight through
crossover
… the MDI-II to MDI-X Switch Setting should be
II
X
Figure 1.
• The parallel symbol (II) indicates a straight through or parallel connec-
tion. Switch is out. (default)
• The cross symbol (X) indicates a crossover connection. Switch is in.
Use the tables below as a guide.
DIP Switches
The 10/100 AutoTwister includes a set of six DIP switches located on the
back of the unit. (See Figure 2.) These switches allow you to select the
operational mode best suited to your network’s conguration.
When setting DIP switches, the ON position is when the DIP switch is
6 Installation Guide
pushed up toward the top of the unit. The OFF position is when the DIP
switch is pushed down toward the bottom.
Figure 2.
Auto-Negotiation Switch (AN1)
*
Switch AN1 controls the use of auto-negotiation on the copper port. To
enable auto-negotiation, set the switch ON. To disable this function, set the
switch OFF. By default, auto-negotiation is enabled.
When the copper port has auto-negotiation enabled, it advertises 100Mbps
full duplex capabilities. When auto-negotiation is disabled, the port’s duplex
is determined by the FD1 switch, and its speed is set by the 100M1 switch.
10/100Mbps Switch (100M1)
*
Switch 100M1 controls the speed setting for the copper port. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the port speed will be the same as this switch setting,
where ON is 100Mbps and OFF is 10Mbps. The default speed setting is
100Mbps. When auto-negotiation is enabled, the 100M1 switch setting is
ignored.
Half/Full Duplex Switch (FD1, FD2)
Switch FD1 determines the duplex mode for the copper port if auto-negotiation is disabled. When auto-negotiation is enabled, the FD1 switch setting
is ignored. Switch FD2 determines the duplex mode on the ber optic port.
A port operates at full duplex when its FD switch is ON. It operates at half
duplex when its FD switch is OFF. The default is full duplex enabled.
*
*Changes to switches AN1, 100M1, FD1 and FD2 only come into effect after the power-cycle initialization.

Link Loss Return Switch (LLR2)
The 10/100 AutoTwister incorporates Link Loss Return (LLR) functional-
ity as an aid in troubleshooting remote connections on its ber optic port.
When LLR is enabled, the loss of the inbound link pulses on the port stops
the transmission of outbound link pulses on the same port. For example, if
LLR is enabled on port 2 and its receiver (RX) stops detecting link pulses,
then port 2’s transmitter (TX) will stop sending link pulses. LLR is not applicable to the copper port.
Link Loss Return is enabled on Port 2 when switch LLR2 is ON. The unit
is shipped with LLR disabled. Refer to Link Loss Return in the User Guide
section of this manual for more information.
Link Loss Carry Forward Switch (LLCF)
In addition to LLR, the AutoTwister supports Link Loss Carry Forward
functionality to help with troubleshooting remote connections.
Unlike LLR, which only applies to the ber port, LLCF affects both ports
on the AutoTwister. When LLCF is enabled, the loss of inbound link pulses
on a port stops the transmission of outbound link pulses on the opposite
port. For example, if LLCF is enabled, the loss of incoming link pulses at
Port 1 will stop the transmission of link pulses out of Port 2. Conversely, if
Port 2 stops receiving link pulses, Port 1 will not transmit link pulses.
Link Loss Carry Forward is enabled on both ports when switch LLCF is
ON. The unit is shipped with LLCF disabled. Refer to Link Loss Carry
Forward in the User Guide section of this manual for further details.
Use the following table to set the DIP switches to obtain specic modes of
operation. The conguration column lists the speed and duplex options for
Port 1 on the left and Port 2 on the right. “Auto” denotes that auto-negotiation is enabled.
