Installation Instructions

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70), local codes, and the authorities having jurisdiction. NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT unit is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads. These products are for indoor use only and must be installed within the protected premises. If battery bracket is removed, then the unit must be installed in a restricted access area (Fig. 1b, pg. 3).

1. Attach mounting brackets to NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT unit for rack or wall mount installation (Fig. 5 or 6, pg. 8).
   Affix rubber pads to NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT for shelf installation (Fig. 7, pg. 8).

2. Secure the unit in a rack or on a wall, or place unit on a shelf as desired.
   Note: The following factors should be taken into consideration when installing these rack mount units:

   • The unit is to be installed in a space where the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 104ºF (40ºC).
   • Take care to ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the unit and that obstructions do not impede it.
   • When mounting units in a rack, take care to avoid uneven loading which can cause a hazardous condition.

3. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT unit (Fig. 2g, pg. 4). Plug unit into a reliable earth grounded socket. When using multiple units, the sum of the individual name plate ratings should not exceed the supply circuit rating.
   Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.

4. Connect structured cables from port marked [IN] on NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT to the corresponding inputs of an ethernet switch or video server
   (Fig. 2b, pg. 4, Fig. 3, pg. 6).
   Note: All cabling and wire must be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for their application.

5. Connect structured cables from port marked [OUT] on NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT to PoE compliant camera/edge devices (Fig. 2a, pg. 4, Fig. 3, pg. 6).

6. When the use of stand-by batteries is required, they must be sealed lead acid or gel type. Connect four (4) 12VDC batteries in series to terminals marked [+ BAT –] (Fig. 2h, pg. 4), carefully observing polarity. Note: When batteries are not used a loss of AC will result in a loss of output voltage.
   See Stand-by Specifications Table (pg. 4).

• 2a OUT1-4 (NetWay4BT), OUT 1-8 (NetWay8BT):
  Structured cable to PoE compliant cameras/edge devices.

• 2b IN 1-4 (NetWay4BT), IN 1-8 (NetWay8BT): Structured cable to ethernet switch or video server. 2c LED(s) 1-4 (NetWay4BT),1-8 (NetWay8BT): Port status LEDs.

• 2d Reset: Restores unit to factory settings.

• 2e USB Port: To setup IP settings locally.

• 2f Ethernet Port: Used to manage/monitor outputs and setup Network IP setting.

• 2g IEC 320 Connector: 115/230VAC (grounded line cord included).

• 2h Built-in battery charger: Charges stand-by batteries for applications requiring back-up.
  Batteries can be installed in any UL, U/R rated enclosure, such as Altronix rack mount battery enclosure RE2 (Fig. 3, pg. 5).

Please be sure to visit altronix.com for latest firmware and installation instructions

Factory Default Settings

• IP Address: 192.168.168.168
• User Name: admin
• Password: admin

1. Set the static IP address for the laptop to be used for programming to the same network IP address as the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT. The default address of the NetWay8BT is 192.168.168.168,
2. Connect one end of the network cable to the network jack on the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT and the other to the network connection of the laptop.
3. Open a browser on the computer and enter “192.168.168.168” into the address bar. A dialog box Authentication Required will appear requesting both user name and password. Enter the default values here. Click on the button labeled Log In.
4. The status page of the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT will appear. Click on the tab labeled Network Settings. This will open the Network Setting screen. In this screen the MAC Address of the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT module will be found along with the Network Settings and Email Settings.

Network Settings

In the IP Address Method field select the method that the IP Address for the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT will be obtained (STATIC or DHCP), then follow the appropriate steps.

Static:

1. IP Address: Enter the IP address assigned to the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT by the network administrator.

2. Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet of the network.

3. Gateway: Enter the TCP/IP gateway of the network access point (router) being used (gateway configuration is required to properly receive emails from the device)

4. HTTP Port: Enter the HTTP port number assigned to the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT module by the network administrator to allow remote access and monitoring. The default inbound port setting is 80.
   HTTP is not encrypted and unsecure. Even though HTTP can be used for remote access, it is recommended primarily for use with LAN connections.

5. HTTPS Port: Enter the HTTPS port number assigned to the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT module by the network administrator to allow remote access and monitoring. The default inbound port setting is 443. Being encrypted and more secure, HTTPS is highly recommended for remote access.

6. Click the button labeled Submit Network Settings. A dialog box will display “New network settings will take effect after the server is rebooted”. Click OK.

DHCP:

1. After selecting DHCP in the IP Address Method field click the button labeled Submit Network Settings. A dialog box will display “New network settings will take effect after the server is rebooted”. Click OK. Next, click on the button labeled Reboot Server. After rebooting the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT will be set in the DHCP mode. The IP address will be assigned by the router when the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT
   is connected to the network. It is recommended to have the assigned IP Address reserved to ensure continued access (see the network administrator).

2. Subnet Mask: When operating in DHCP, the router will assign the subnet mask values.

3. Gateway: Enter the TCP/IP gateway of the network access point (router) being used.

4. HTTP Port: Enter the HTTP port number assigned to the NetWay8BT module by the network administrator to allow remote access and monitoring. The default inbound port setting is 80.
   HTTP is not encrypted and unsecure. Even though HTTP can be used for remote access, it is recommended primarily for use with LAN connections.

Secure Network Setup (HTTPS):

In order to setup HTTPS for a Secure Network Connection, a Valid Certificate and Key must be used. Certificates and Key should be in a “.PEM” format. Self Certifications should only be used for testing purposes as no actual authentication is being performed. In a Self-Certified mode, the connection will still state that it is unsecure. How to upload Certificate and Key to setup HTTPS:

1. Open Tab Labeled “Security”
2. Select Tab Labeled “Email/SSL”
3. Scroll to bottom under “SSL Settings”
4. Click “Select Certificate”
5. Browse and select valid Certificate to upload from server
6. Click “Select Key”
7. Browse and select valid Key to upload from server
8. Click “Submit Files”

Once the Certificate and Key is uploaded successfully you can proceed with setting up HTTPS in Network Settings.

• HTTPS Port: Enter the HTTPS port number assigned to the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT module by the network administrator to allow remote access and monitoring. The default inbound port setting is 443. Being encrypted and more secure, HTTPS is highly recommended for remote access.
• Click the button labeled Submit Network Settings.
  A dialog box will display “New network settings will take effect after the server is rebooted”. Click OK.
