Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70), local codes, and the authorities having jurisdiction. These products are for indoor use only and must be installed within the protected premises. NetWare units should be serviced by authorized personnel.
Replace all fuses with the same type and rating (4A/250V).
Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for the safe operation of the equipment is not compromised
Mechanical Loading – The mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate rating should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
NetWare is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads.

  1. Attach mounting brackets to NetWay unit for rack installation (Fig. 7, pg. 10).
    Affix rubber pads to NetWay for shelf installation (Fig. 8, pg. 10).

  2. Secure the unit in a rack or place unit on a shelf as desired.
    Note: The following factors should be taken into consideration when installing these rack mount units:
    a. The unit is to be installed in a space where the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 104ºF (40ºC).
    b. Take care to ensure that there is sufficient airflow around the unit and that obstructions do not impede it.
    c. When mounting units in the rack, take care to avoid uneven loading which can cause a hazardous condition.

  3. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 1d, pg. 5).

  4. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the NetWay unit (Fig. 1e, pg. 5).
    Plug unit into a reliable earth-grounded socket. When using multiple units the sum of the individual nameplate ratings should not exceed the supply circuit rating. Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.

  5. Connect structured cables from port marked [IN] on NetWare to the corresponding inputs of an ethernet
    switch or video server (Fig. 1b, pg. 5, Fig. 5, pg. 6).
    Note: All cabling and wire must be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for their application.

  6. Connect structured cables from port marked [OUT] on NetWare to PoE-compliant camera/edge devices (Fig. 1a, pg. 5, Fig. 5, pg. 6).
    Note: For UL294 applications, the products are to be tested as part of a complete Access Control System and in accordance with UL Listed Access Control Devices.
    Note: All interconnected devices must be UL Listed.

  7. Upon completion of wiring set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 1d, pg. 5).

  8. Port status LEDs on the NetWay will initialize when PoE devices are connected as follows:
    – LED will illuminate when devices are IEEE 802.3af compliant.
    – LED will blink once and illuminate when devices are IEEE 802.3at compliant (PoE+).
