Enclosure Mounting and Installation:

codes and authorities having jurisdiction. All units should be installed by a trained service personnel.

1. Remove backplane from enclosure prior to drilling. Do not discard hardware.
Note: Make sure that hardware will not interfere with components of the circuit board.

2. Mark and drill desired inlets on the enclosure to facilitate wiring. Maximum NEMA type 4X rated fittings
to be used are 0.5”. Follow manufacturer’s specifications for the appropriate size opening.
Note: Inlets for conduit fittings should only be made on the bottom of the enclosure.
UL Listed NEMA type 4X rated conduit connector/hubs shall be used for the appropriate size inlets.

3. Clean out the inside of enclosure before remounting circuit board.

4. Mounting NEMA4/4X rated enclosure (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 12):
Wall mount: Mount unit in desired location. Mark and drill holes to line up with the top and bottom holes
of the enclosure flange. Secure enclosure with appropriate fasteners (e. g. screws and anchors; bolts and
locking nuts, etc.) that are compatible with mounting surface and are of sufficient length/construction to
ensure a secure mount (Fig. 9, pg. 11).
Pole Mount: Refer to Figs. 10-14, pg. 11.

5. Mount backplane in enclosure with hardware.

6. To facilitate wire entry utilize weather-tight NEMA rated connectors (supplied), bushings, and cable.

1. Secure cabinet to earth ground. Connect AC power from overcurrent protective

Installation:

device circuit breaker (20A @ 115VAC, 60Hz; 16A @ 230VAC, 50/60Hz) to
the terminals marked [L, N] on power supply board (Fig. 1, pg. 4).
Use 14AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output, AC input).
Connect ground lug to earth or green branch wire (12AWG min.).
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring by

utilizing separate knockouts/ inlets. Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts. Shut branch circuit power before
installing or servicing equipment. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel.

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
NetwaySP. The default address of the NetwaySP 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 NetwaySP 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 NetWaySP will appear. Click on the tab labeled Network Settings.
This will open the Network Setting screen. In this screen the MAC Address of the NetWaySP 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 NetWaySP will be obtained
(STATIC or DHCP), then follow the appropriate steps.

Static:

A. IP Address: Enter the IP address assigned to the NetWaySP 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 NetWaySP 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 NetWaySP 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.

NetWaySPLWPX Series - 5 -

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 NetWaySP will be set in the DHCP
mode. The IP address will be assigned by the router when the NetWaySP 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 NetWaySP 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 NetWay4E 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.

Factory Reset Option:

1. Power the unit down. Allow approximately 30 seconds
for the unit to power down completely.

2. Depress Factory Reset button on NetWaySP board while
reapplying power to the unit (Fig. 4, pg. 6).
Continue holding the button until the LEDs on board go
through the start up cycle, then release the button.

Wall Mount Installation

1- Place unit at desired location and secure with mounting
screws (not included) (Fig. 9, pg. 11).

Fig. 9

This installation should be made by qualified service personnel. This product contains no serviceable parts.

Pole Mounting Using Optional PMK2 Pole Mount Kit:

PMK2 outdoor pole mount kit is designed to simplify the installation of Altronix outdoor rated power supplies and
accessories housed in WP2 NEMA rated enclosures. PMK2 can be mounted on 2” to 8” (50.8mm to 203.2mm)
diameter round or 5” (127mm) square poles. Brackets are designed for use with the Wormgear Quick Release
Straps (two included).

1. Thread one (1) wormgear quick release strap through the slots on the back of a mounting bracket (Fig. 10, pg. 11).

2. Once the desired height of the top Pole Mount bracket is achieved, tighten the straps down by sliding open
end of the strap through the locking mechanism on the strap, then tighten the screw with
flat head screwdriver or 5/16” hex socket driver (Fig. 11, pg. 11 and Fig. 13, pg. 11).
