Typical Application
This section outlines a standard deployment scenario for the NetWay4EB. The switch is designed to connect to four IP devices, each potentially requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) support (802.3af / 802.3at). Power is supplied to the NetWay4EB via an external 48V-56VDC power source. The unit also features an SFP port for fiber optic connectivity, allowing it to interface with a remote switch or network infrastructure. The diagram illustrates the power input, the four PoE-enabled ports (labeled PORT 1 through PORT 4), a Master Reset button, and an SFP port. Associated LEDs for power status, PoE activity, link status, fiber connection (ALOS), and general unit operation (Heartbeat) are also indicated. The diagram visually represents the flow of power from the supply to the switch and the data connection from the SFP port to the network.
