Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70), local codes, and the
Installation Instructions:
authorities having jurisdiction. NetWaySP8A/NetWaySP16A is not intended to be connected to outside plant
leads. These products are for indoor use only and must be installed within the protected premises.
1. Attach mounting brackets to the unit for rack or wall mount installation (Fig. 3 or 4, pg. 4).
Affix rubber pads to the unit for shelf installation (Fig. 5, pg. 4).
2. Secure the unit in a rack or on a wall, or place unit on a shelf as desired.
Note: The following factors should be taken into consideration when installing these rack mount units:
a. The unit is to be installed in a space where the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed
104ºF (40ºC).
b. Take care to ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the unit and that obstructions do not impede it.
c. When mounting units in a rack, take care to avoid uneven loading which can cause a hazardous condition.
3. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the unit (Fig. 1d, pg. 2). Plug unit
into a reliable earth grounded socket. When using multiple units, the sum of the individual name plate ratings
should not exceed the supply circuit rating.
Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
4. Connect structured cable from port(s) marked [1-8] or [1-16] on NetWaySP8A/16A to the corresponding
input(s) of an UL Listed ethernet switch (Fig. 1c, pg. 2).
5. Connect fiber optic cable to a fiber SFP module. Connect the module to the port(s) marked [SFP1-SFP8],
[SFP1-SFP16] on the NetWaySP8A/16A. Connect the other end of fiber cable to an SFP module of a remote
device (Fig. 1a, pg. 2). SFP LED will illuminate indicating data connection (Fig. 1b, pg. 2).
