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:
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 air flow around the unit and that obstructions do not impede it.
c. 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. 4, 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. 4, 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.

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,
E.I. 192.168.168.200.

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:

A. IP Address: Enter the IP address assigned to the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT by the network administrator.
B. Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet of the network.
C. 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)
D. 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.
E. 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.
F. 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.

- 6 - NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT

DHCP:

A. 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).
B. Subnet Mask: When operating in DHCP, the router will assign the subnet mask values.
C. Gateway: Enter the TCP/IP gateway of the network access point (router) being used.
D. 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.
A. 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.
B. 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.
