VIA Technologies VIA16, 6716 Installation Manual

Model 6716 VIA16 Ethernet Switch

OVERVIEW

The VIA16 is a DIN-mountable, managed 10/100 Ethernet
switch with sixteen copper ports and two gigabit mini GBIC
ports for SFP modules.

This compact switch is designed speccally for sACN

data distribution and is ideal for networks usings Pathport

Gateways, Choreo controllers, Cognito consoles

and NSB or Vignette architectural wall stations, with
Power-over-Ethernet support for up to 12 devices.

Installation

Guide

POWER

The 6716 is designed to run Class 3 PoE on ports 1-12. Typically
most Pathport and Vignette devices are Class 2 or lower and a 100W
48VDC power supply (P/N 1001-100-48-DIN) will supply enough
power for the switch and 12 connected PoE devices. Observe
correct polarity when wiring DC IN plug.

PoE After boot up, solid green indicates PoE is available.

O󰀨 indicates power supply voltage is not su󰀩cient to
supply PoE capability. Flashing green indicates PoE
External Supply value set to 0

STATUS Flashing blue (heartbeat) indicates power and

processor OK; o󰀨 indicates no power.

ETHERNET

All network wiring should follow standard Ethernet rules and be
installed by a qualied person. As part of the installation, all wiring
should be certied under the TIA/EIA-568 standard.

Fiber Port
LEDS
(17/18)

Green. Intermittent blinking indicates valid link to

other device. Solid red indicates incompatible ber

transceiver.

Pathway recommends the use of manufactured rather than
hand-terminated cables. We also recommend 2100-DIN eDIN RJ45
patch which come in lots of 4 and use 3.5” of rail space. These
use standard punch-down female connectors and essentially build
a patch bay in the eDIN enclosure.

RJ45 LEDs Amber. Intermittent blinking indicates valid link to

other device. For each pair of ports, the left LED will
show link status of the upper port while the right LED
will show status of the lower port.

INSTALLATION FURTHER CONFIGURATION

Disconnect all power before proceeding with installation.

Securely mount DIN rail (if not already installed in the enclosure).
Hook the upper slots on the back of the plastic extrusion to the DIN
rail and then gently but rmly press on the bottom front corners of
the extrusion to snap the module onto the rail.

Connect the DC IN terminal, after checking that polarity is correct.
The VIA16 will boot up, which may take 15-20 seconds.

Attach required network cables to RJ45 ports. Connect the ber
module(s), if used.

The system is now ready for conguration and testing.

All eld conguration of the VIA16 must be done with Pathscape
software.

Download the software from www.pathwayconnect.com and install.

Set computer’s IP to a static address in the 10.x.x.x range, with
a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and default gateway of 10.0.0.1. No
conguration of the computer’s DNS settings should be required.
Plug into the VIA16 and launch the software. Discovery will be

automatic.

Refer to software documentation for description of conguration

options.
