Installation Instructions
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application. NetWay5B is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises.
- Mount NetWay5B in the desired location/enclosure (mounting hardware included).
- Connect NetWay5B to power source and Ethernet devices:
NetWay5B can be powered either by a UL Listed 12/24VDC power source, e.g. Altronix eFlow power supply/ charger or by IEEE 802.3at compatible PoE source. If it is powered by PoE, the structured cable from headend must be connected to RJ45 jack marked [Port 1 PoE Input] and Ports 2 through 5 are used for data transmission. If 12/24VDC power source is connected, it is automatically recognized by NetWay5B. PoE, even if present, is not used and any Port can be used for data transmission. Using PoE as a Power Source: a. Connect structured cable from ethernet headend device to RJ45 jack marked [Port 1 PoE Input] (Fig. 1, pg. 2). b. Connect Access Control boards, Altronix LINQ units or other IP devices to RJ45 jacks marked [Port 2] through [Port 5] (Fig. 1, pg. 2). Refer to the corresponding Installation Guides for details. Using UL Listed 12/24VDC Power Source: a. Connect a UL Listed power source to the [+12/24V ] terminals carefully observing polarity (Fig. 1, pg. 2). b. Connect structured cable from ethernet headend device to any RJ45 jack (Fig. 1, pg. 2). c. Connect Access Control boards, Altronix LINQ units or other IP devices to the remaining RJ45 jacks
(Fig. 1, pg. 2). Refer to the corresponding Installation Guides for details
