Metrobility 10/100 AutoTwister 5
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:
• 10/100 AutoTwister
• Power supply
• Power cord
• Four (4) rubber feet
Your order has been provided with the safest possible packaging, but ship-
ping damage does occasionally occur. Inspect your order carefully. If you
discover any shipping damage, notify your carrier and follow their instruc-
tions 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 office or industrial
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 motor-
ized 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 physi-
cal 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
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 configurations. (See

When setting the switch, observe the positioning of the following symbols:
