Introduction
Product Description
The NPR series of multi-port PoE midspan injectors are
designed to provide power to PoE compatible IP devices
such as IP surveillance cameras, IP phones, door locks, IR
illuminators and other PoE compatible access control edge
devices. The NPR series products provide 32W of power
per port and are compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard.
The chart below shows the list of models in the NPR product

Installation and Operation
Use the following procedure when mounting an NPR series
supply into a standard EIA 19" equipment rack.
1. If not already, securely mount the included ears to the
front of the enclosure sides using the eight included
countersunk screws (four per ear).
2. Locate the rack-mounting holes in the ears of the en-
closure. (Figure 1)
3. Slide the enclosure into an open 1U location in the rack
4. Center the enclosure in the rack and secure with the
four 10-32 x 3/4" screws provided.
NOTE: Use rails or other appropriate support for heavy
enclosures. Keep heavier components near the bottom of
the rack to reduce the risk of toppling of a top-heavy rack.

Installation and Operation
1PoE Input / Output (IN / OUT)
Depending on model, there are eight or sixteen RJ45 jack
pairs (top and bottom pair) labeled sequentially. For each
pair, the bottom jack is for network data input. The top jack is
the data and power output.
Connect your data only cables to the bottom row of the RJ45
jacks (from a network switch, video server, etc.).
Connect the top jacks to the corresponding PoE compatible
devices (e.g. IP cameras).
2Ethernet Input (Ethernet)
This port allows users to monitor and control the NPR multi-
port midspan injector through a computer, over a LAN or the
Internet. The management software PowerComPoE is web
browser based. You may connect a PC directly to this Ether-
net port, or via LAN/Internet.
3External Control (External Control)
This connector allows an external trigger voltage to shut-
down selected PoE outputs (programmed by user via the
PowerComPoE management software).
The trigger voltage is 5 to 24V, AC or DC.
4Reset Button (Reset)
Pressing the recessed reset button with a pin for 6 seconds
will reset the IP address and password to the factory default
values.
The factory default IP address is: 192.168.1.9
The factory default user name is: admin
Tthe factory default password is: admin
5Front Panel LEDs (1-8 or 1-16)
Depending on model, 8 or 16 front panel LEDs (labeled 1
through 8 or 1 through 16) indicate the port status of the
corresponding PoE channels. When the output is connected
to a valid PoE Powered Device (PD) within the specified cur-
rent limit, the LED will be green, indicating normal operation.
When there is a fault condition, such as when no PD is con-
nected to that port, the LED will be yellow.
The LED will be turned off if the corresponding port is dis-
abled by the PowerComPoE software.
LED Status Status
Green Normal Operation
Yellow (Fault) No Powered Device connected or fault
condition present
Off Port disabled
When the NPR is first powered, these LEDs will light yellow in
sequence (1-8 or 1-16 depending on model) six times as the
unit performs a self-test
6AC Line Input (AC Power)
This is the connector for the AC line cord. Plug the included
computer-style line cord into this connector. Connect the
other end of the cord to the power strip inside the rack or an-
other suitable AC power receptacle. The NPR series accepts
120-230VAC ONLY.
7Main AC Power Switch / Circuit Breaker (On/Off)
This is the main AC power switch for the NPR. This switch
lights when power is on and also has a built-in circuit breaker
rated at 15A. If the circuit breaker trips, reset it by cycling the
switch to off then back to on.
8External DC Voltage Input (External DC +/-)
This input may be used to either power the NPR via an exter-
nal 50VDC supply or to provide battery backup to the NPR.
The “External DC” input is reverse polarity protected. See be-
low for details:
To Use Battery Backup
Connect AC power to the NPR unit as normal. In addition,
connect a 48V nominal battery set to the “External DC” con-
nector, using the battery cable supplied.
To Use an External 50Vdc Supply
Connect a 50V power supply to the “External DC” connector
at the rear. The ratings requirements for the DC power supply
are given below:
Input voltage range 44 –57 VDC
Max input current (500W model) 14.0 A
Max input current (250W model) 7.0 A
Note that if both AC and DC power sources are connected to
the unit at the same time, the AC source will supply the power
to the output ports. The external DC source will not supply the
outputs unless the AC source is missing or the power switch is
turned off.
The following are basic descriptions. Refer to the appropriate section for more detailed information. Note that the front
panel may appear different based on the configuration of your system.

Installation and Operation
2.1 Preparing to configure the NPR
In order to perform the initial configuration of the NPR, you
will need the following:
• A computer (PC or Mac) set to a static IP address in
the subnet 192.168.1.xxx, where xxx is a subnet ad-
dress (0 to 255) not being used by any other device
on the network. Do not use 192.168.1.9 or the final IP
address you will be using for the NPR. (See Figure 4.)
• A web browser installed on the computer.
• A CAT5 or higher Ethernet cable long enough to reach
between the computer and the NPR's Ethernet port.
• The NPR must be powered. After powering the NPR,
wait for the NPR to initialize. When ready, the port
LEDs will be lit steady.
After the NPR is powered and initialized, connect the ethernet
cable between the ethernet ports of the NPR and computer.
The green LED on the ethernet port of the NPR should light. A
few seconds later, the yellow LED will begin flashing.
2.2 Logging into PowerComPoE for the first time
From the factory, the NPR is preset with the following settings:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.9
• Username: admin
• Password: admin
Open a browser on the computer and enter "192.168.1.9"
into the address bar (not in a search bar - you may need
to disable a "search from the address bar" setting in your
browser, if enabled). A window will appear asking for au-
thentication (See Figure 5). Enter "admin" for both the user
name and password.
iIf the wrong password is entered three consecutive
times, the user will be locked out of the device for 24 hours.
Enter the password carefully to avoid lockout.
The LifeSafety Power NPR License Agreement screen will
appear. Read this agreement and if you agree, click "Accept"
(See Figure 6). The NPR Home Page should appear (See
Figure 7).

Section 2 – Initial Configuration
The PowerComPoE management software allows users to configure, as well as monitor and control each output port of the
NPR series midspan injector. It is embedded and web browser based and does not require the installation of any dedicated
software on the user's PC. Any PC with an Ethernet port and a common web browser may be used to access PowerComPoE.

2.3 Configuring the TCP/IP Settings
In the orange menu bar at the top of the browser screen,
click the "Configure" link. Figure 8 shows the Configure page.
At the top left of the Configure page is the “TCP/IP Setting”
area. The settings in this area include:
Site ID
Entered by user. Enter any meaningful name to identify
the NPR midspan unit. This name will be displayed on
the HOME page.
IP Address
The factory default IP address is set to 192.168.1.9. This
address may be changed to any valid IP address. Set the
first three values of the IP address to match the domain of
the network to which the NPR will be connected. Set the
final value to a number between 0 and 255 which is not
being used by any other device on the subnet. In the event
the IP address is later forgotten, press the “Reset” button
on the front panel of the NPR for 6 seconds and the IP ad-
dress, default user name, and default password will be reset
to factory default values.
Net Mask
Should typically be set to 255.255.255.0
MAC address
The MAC Address is factory set and is not programmable
by the user.
Gateway IP
The default gateway is 192.168.1.1. This value may be
changed by the user - consult with your IT department
for more information.
DNS0, DNS1
The default value for DNS0 and DNS1 are 192.168.1.1.
These values may be changed by the user - consult with
your IT department for more information.
Enable DHCP
Normally, this option is left unchecked, however in some
cases you may want to allow the network to assign an IP
address to the NPR. However, please note that once you
select this option, you will need a network scanning
tool to find the NPR's IP address before you will be
able to log into the NPR and that the IP address of the
NPR may change periodically.
You must click the “Submit” button at the bottom right of this
area to save the changes in this section. The new setting will
take effect after the NPR product is power cycled, or rebooted.
