Installation Instructions:
authorities having jurisdiction. NetWaySP2/4/8 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 unit for rack or wall mount installation (Fig. 2 or 4, pg. 4).
Affix rubber pads to unit for shelf installation (Fig. 4, 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. Input Power Options:
- Connect structured cable from ethernet (midspan or endspan) device to RJ45 jack marked [Ethernet]
(Fig. 2, pg. 3).
- Connect 48-56V UL Listed ITE power supply (rated minimum ambient temperature of 50ºC, or the
installation of the device must conform to the rated ambient temperature of the power supply) to terminals
marked [– In +, 56VDC] (Fig. 2 pg. 3).
4. Daisy-chaining inputs: Connect terminals marked [– Pass +, 56VDC] to the next input terminals marked
[– In +, 56VDC] (Fig. 2 pg. 3).
5. Connect Composite (Powered) Fiber cable. Fiber portion connects to port marked [SFP 1-4], copper portion
connects to output marked [OUT 56VDC, 1-4] (Fig. 1, pg. 3).
6. Connect opposite end of Composite (Powered) Fiber cable. Fiber portion connects to SFP port on
NetWaySP3WPN or NetWay4EWPN, copper portion connects to power input of NetWay Spectrum Hardened
Switch, carefully observing correct polarity (Refer to NetWaySP3WPN/4WPN/8WPN / NetWay4EWPN
Installation Guides).
