Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70), local codes, and the authorities having jurisdiction. NetWayMV is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads. These products are for indoor use only and must be installed within protected premises.

1. Attach mounting brackets to the NetWayMV unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 8 or 9, pg. 12).
   Affix rubber pads to NetWayMV for shelf installation (Fig. 10, pg. 12).

2. Secure the unit in a rack or place the 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 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 the illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 1g, pg. 5).

4. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the NetWayMV unit (Fig. 1h, pg. 5).
   Plug the 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 NetWayMV to the corresponding inputs of an ethernet switch or video server (Fig. 1b, pg. 5, Fig. 5, pg. 8).
   Note : All cabling and wire must be UL Listed and/or Recognized as wire suitable for their application.

6. Connect structured cables from port marked [OUT] on NetWayMV to PoE-compliant camera/edge devices (Fig. 1a, pg. 5, Fig. 5, pg. 8).

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

8. Port status LEDs on the NetWayMV 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 IEEE802.3at compliant (PoE Plus).

Configuring NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV for Network Connection:

Since every Network Configuration is different, please check with your Network Administrator to see if your NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV should use static IP addresses, or DHCP-assigned IP addresses and/or an Inbound Port assignment prior to setting up the network connection.

1. Click the Network Settings link.
   If you are prompted for an administrative password, type and submit the password.
   Note : Default settings have password requirements turned off.

2. The network Setup page will be displayed.
   You may now configure your NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV for network connection.

Figure 6 is a screenshot of the NETWORK SETTING MENU. This menu is for configuring the NetWay8MV/ NetWay16MV units for a network connection.

Network Type:

the network connection
IP:| This field shows the NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV current IP Address. A static IP address must be set manually. If DHCP this value will be assigned automatically.
Subnet Mask:| This field shows the subnet mask for your network so the NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV will be recognized within the network. If DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.
Inbound Port:| Port number for HTTP/WEB communication.
Host Name:| Name of the NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV device on the LAN

Additional information:

1. If using DHCP, all settings will be detected automatically.
   While DHCP is a useful tool for determining the network settings, if you set up your NetWay8MV/ NetWay16MV in this manner its IP address may change at different times for different reasons, particularly after a power failure. If the IP address of the NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV changes, you may have difficulties accessing your NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV locally and/or remotely.
   It is strongly recommended that you connect via hostname when units are configured as DHCP.
   Please do not set the DHCP address issued to the NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV by the router as its static IP address unless you take specific steps that program your router to prevent such address conflicts.

2. If using a Static IP (recommended), you will need to input the information manually. In order for DDNS to work, you must enter valid data, compatible with your network, for all of the network setting fields:
   IP address, Subnet Mask, Inbound Port, and Host Name.

3. If you are connecting through a router, make sure that you have ‘opened up all the required network ports in the port forwarding section of your router’s setup options. That is, you have directed the router to send any incoming traffic using those IP ports to the LAN IP address of the NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV.
   Useful information about router port forwarding can be found at www.portforward.com. Different routers may use different terms for port forwarding functions. For instance, D-Link calls it a virtual server, and Netopia calls it pinholes.
   The default port for NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV is: 80

Note : Port 80 is the default port used for web browsing. Because of this, in order to prevent the average user from hosting a web server, most ISPs BLOCK traffic using port 80 from reaching the average site. If you only plan to monitor your NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV on a LAN, you can use port 80 and don’t have to concern yourself with routers. However, if you desire remote access to your NetWay8MV/NetWay16MV, you MUST select functional ports and set up the port forwarding in your router. Other ports, such as 8080 and 8000 are sometimes blocked by ISPs as well. What port(s) should be used? There are 65,535 valid IP ports to choose from. These are broken down into three groups:

• Well Known Ports 0 through 1023
• Registered Ports 1024 through 49151
• Dynamic and/or Private Ports 49152 through 65535

So, rather than encounter a port conflict by choosing a port commonly used for another purpose (like port 25 for SMTP mail or port 448 for secure sockets), choose an ‘unusual’ port number. For example, add 50,000 to your house number: 50,123 is less likely to lead to a port conflict. For a list of the known and registered ports, see http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.
