Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70), local codes, and the au­thorities having jurisdiction. NetWay8E 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. 2).

1. Attach mounting brackets to NetWay8E unit for rack
or wall mount installation (Fig. 5 or 6, pg. 8).
Affix rubber pads to NetWay8E 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 NetWay8E unit (Fig. 2d, 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 cable from ethernet switch/NVR (network video server) to RJ45 jack marked [1Gb]
(10/100/1000 Mbps) (Fig. 2a, pg. 4).
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 NetWay8E to PoE compliant camera/edge devices
(Fig. 2b, pg. 4).

Installing a NetWayXT/NetWayXTX Repeater Module:

NetWayXT will work only with PoE devices. NetWayXTX will work with PoE/PoE+ devices.

1. Mount NetWayXT/NetWayXTX in desired location utilizing the mounting hole (Fig. 3, pg. 4).
Use a proper fastener and/or wall anchor when securing NetWayXT/NetWayXTX to the wall.

2. Connect structured cable from port marked [OUT] on NetWay8E to port marked [IN] on the
NetWayXT/NetWayXTX (Fig. 3, pg. 4).

3. Connect structured cable from port marked [OUT] on NetWayXT/NetWayXTX to the PoE/PoE+ camera/
edge device or next NetWayXT/NetWayXTX repeater (Fig. 3, pg. 4).

4. Port status LEDs will illuminate on NetWayXT/NetWayXTX indicating the port is operational
(refer to LED Definitions, pg. 4).

5. Power LED will illuminate indicating 12VDC output.

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
NetWay8E. The default address of the NetWay8E 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 NetWay8E 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 NetWay8E will appear. Click on the tab labeled Network Settings. This will open
the Network Setting screen. In this screen the MAC Address of the NetWay8E 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 NetWay8E will be obtained
(STATIC or DHCP), then follow the appropriate steps.

Static:

A. IP Address: Enter the IP address assigned to the NetWay8E 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 NetWay8E 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 NetWay8E 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.

- 6 - NetWay8E

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.

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 NetWay8E will be set in the DHCP mode.
The IP address will be assigned by the router when the NetWay8E 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 NetWay8E 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 NetWay8E 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.

Heartbeat Timer:

The heartbeat timer will send a trap message indicating that the NetWay8E is still connected and communicating.

Setting the Heartbeat Timer:

1. Click the button labeled Heartbeat Timer Setting.

2. Select the desired time between heartbeat messaging in the Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds in
corresponding fields.
