Frequently Asked Questions - NetWay4E1WP Altronix

What is the Altronix NetWay4E1WP?

The Altronix NetWay4E1WP is a 4-port PoE+ network adapter designed to power devices like IP cameras and access points over Ethernet.

How do I power the NetWay4E1WP?

Connect a 12V DC or 24V DC power supply to the input terminal block or barrel jack. Ensure the power supply can deliver at least 60W total.

Does it support PoE passthrough?

No, the NetWay4E1WP injects PoE power from its own input; it does not pass PoE from an upstream switch.

What are the maximum cable lengths?

For Ethernet data and PoE, use Cat5e or better cable up to 100 meters (328 feet) per port.

Can I mount it on a DIN rail?

Yes, the NetWay4E1WP supports DIN rail mounting with an optional bracket (sold separately).

What devices can I power?

It can power any IEEE 802.3af/at compliant device such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points up to 30W per port.

How do I reset the device?

There is no reset button; power cycle the unit by disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply.

Is it weatherproof?

The NetWay4E1WP is not weatherproof; it should be installed indoors or in a weatherproof enclosure.

What do the LEDs mean?

A steady green LED on each port indicates power and link; blinking indicates activity. The power LED shows when the unit is receiving power.

Where can I find the full manual?

Download the PDF manual from the Altronix website or from the product page on notice-facile.com.

InstallationInstructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. All units should be installed by a trained service personnel.

Installation:

NetWay4E1B/NetWay4E1PL:

1. Mount board/backplane in the desired location/enclosure with hardware supplied.
2. NetWay4E1B: Connect 56VDC/280W max power source to terminal marked [+] and [-] .
   Note: For proper earth ground connections on NetWay4E1B fasten metal spacers (provided) to threaded studs at indicated board mounting holes (shown on the right).
   This is recommended for better environmental immunity.

NetWay4E1WPN/NetWay4E1WP/NetWay4E1WPX:

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.
   To facilitate wire entry utilize weather-tight NEMA rated connectors (supplied), bushings, and cable.
3. Clean out the inside of enclosure before remounting circuit boards/backplane.
4. Mounting NEMA4/4X rated enclosure (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 8-10):

Wall mount: Mount unit in desired location. Mark and drill holes to line up with the top and bottom hole 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. 4, pg. 7).

Pole Mount: Refer to Fig. 5 - 9, pg. 7.

1. Mount backplane in enclosure with hardware.

NetWay4E1X:

1. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the enclosure. Install two (2) upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure's upper keyholes over the two (2) upper screws; level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two (2) holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install two fasteners. Place the enclosure's upper keyholes over the two (2) upper screws. Install the two (2) lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 9). Secure enclosure to earth ground.

Power Connection:

1. NetWay4E1WP, NetWay4E1WPX, NetWay4E1X, and NetWay4E1PL: Before powering unit, set input voltage selection switch to proper Input Voltage position (Fig. 3a, pg. 6). Units are factory set for 115VAC.

2. Secure cabinet to earth ground. Connect AC power from overcurrent protective device circuit breaker (20A @ 115VAC, 60Hz, 16A @ 230VAC, 50/60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, N] on power supply board (Fig. 3, pg. 6). 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.

Input/Data Connections:

1. Connect structured cables from port marked [Port 1] to [Port 4] on NetWay unit to PoE compliant cameras/edge devices (Fig. 2, pg. 5).
2. Insert SFP module into port marked [SFP], then connect cable to the SFP module on NetWay4E1B to the corresponding input of an SFP switch (Fig. 2, pg. 5).
