About the IE-MultiWay

The IE-MultiWay is a standalone device providing two 10/100/1000Base-T copper
ports and 2 SFP ports. The SFP ports support fiber or copper SFPs. As a plug and
play device, the IE-MultiWay provides several distinct modes of operation to support
a wide range of applications. The IE-MultiWay provides OAM functionality, 802.3ah
is supported on each uplink. It also supports jumbo frame sizes of up to 10,240 bytes
as well as AutoCross for the copper ports. Power options for the IE-MultiWay
include both a standard low voltage wall transformer and a Power Block for Office
Battery connection. As an Industrial Ethernet device, it supports an extended
temperature range of -40C to +85C. A console port and a DIP Switch bay provide
configuration options.
The IE-MultiWay requires two small form-factor (SFP) modules which provide greater
fiber flexibility in the network environment. The hot-swappable nature of the SFPs
and the numerous fiber modes and types available in SFPs allow for easy
configuration and future upgrading as network demands evolve. The SFP modules
must be MSA-compliant and support the same speed range.
SFPs are sold separately and meet Class 1 Laser Safety Standard.

Installing the IE-MultiWay

The IE-MultiWay is a standalone, table-top device with a small form factor making it
