This Installation Guide presents a quick, standard installation of the SP201-SA.
Note: The needs of your network may require an installation that varies from the standard installation.
For a customized installation, see the SP201-SA Customization and Maintenance Guide. For hardware
information, see the SP201-SA Hardware Reference Guide.
The SP201-SA is available in two versions:
• The two-port SP201-SA, supporting one trunk circuit of up to 30 channel circuits
• The four-port SP201-SA, supporting up to two trunk circuits of up to 30 channel circuits each (for a total
of up to 60 channel circuits)
Note: A standard trunk circuit (from one external device, through the SP201-SA, to another external
device) comprises trunk connections to two ports. The SignalPath™ configuration software defines each
side of the trunk circuit (that is, each connection to a port) as a trunk.
This document uses the term trunk to indicate a connection to one port; it uses the term trunk circuit to
indicate the complete end-to-end connection (over two ports). Using these definitions, a trunk circuit
comprises two trunks.
Before you start this installation, be sure you have filled out the worksheet for adding this device to your
network. See the SP201-SA Site Planning Worksheet.
See the following sections for a standard installation of the SP201-SA:

Section B, Port Configuration
Section C, Clocking Configuration
