SFP+ PORTS
The PWVIA RM P12 RJ45EC [SFPSLOT/1GSFP/10GSFPP] [NONPOE/POE] models have two SFP+ compatible ports on the
rear of the device. These require the user to provide an SFP or SFP+ fiber transceiver to allow connection to fiber networks.
See Appendix 1: SFP+ Fiber Adapter Selection for more information on selecting a fiber transceiver.
The user may also use SFP+ Direct Attach cables, both active and passive. This is often the easiest and lowest-cost way to
connect multiple switches together, if they are close together in the same enclosure or rack.
opticalCON PORTS
The PWVIA RM P12 RJ45EC [DUO/QUAD] POE models have opticalCON DUO and opticalCON QUAD ports, respectively,
for multimode fiber cables installed instead of SFP+ ports. Additional SFP+ transceivers are not required.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The IEC power plug or powerCON AC Input plug may be connected to an AC power source with a voltage between 100
and 240VAC, either 50 or 60 Hz.
Models PWVIA RM P12 RJ45EC [DUO/QUAD] POE have an additional powerCON THRU connector to simplify mains power
connections in a rack. DO NOT EXCEED 10A DRAW ON THE FIRST SWITCH. The powerCON THRU jumper cable is
not provided.
CONFIGURATION
PWVIA RM models may be configured from the front panel interface using the LCD and rotary pushbutton encoder. However,
we recommend using our free software tool, Pathscape, if possible. To download Pathscape, visit the Pathway website at
https://www.pathwayconnect.com
For instructions on how to set properties and send transactions to devices, refer to the Pathscape manual.
For instructions on using the LCD and encoder to navigate the switch menus, see the Front Panel UI and Menu section.
