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).

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.

2.4 Conﬁguring the Administration Settings

On the top right of the Conﬁgure page is the “Administra-

tion Setting” area. The settings in this area include:

Admin User Password

The default password for the admin account is admin. This

may be changed to any password of at least 5 characters.

Enter the new password into the "Admin User Password"

ﬁeld. If changing the password, enter it again into the "Verify

Admin Password" ﬁeld. These two ﬁelds must match in or-

der to successfully change the password. Click the "Submit"

button - a popup message will conﬁrm a successful pass-

word change. When you leave the conﬁgure page, the NPR

will ask you to re-log in.

Insert Date

Enter the correct date in the speciﬁed value ﬁeld. Note

that the format is YYYY-MM-DD. For example, for Febru-

ary, you should enter “02” not “2”.

Insert Time

Enter the correct time in the speciﬁed ﬁeld. The format

is HH:MM:SS.

You must click the “Submit” button to save the time and

date settings.

iWARNING - Passwords may not contain any special

characters. Only numbers and letters may be used. Creat-

ing a password with a special character will result in the

user being locked out of the device and will require a device

reset.

2.5 Conﬁguring the SNMP Settings

In the SNMP Setting block, under the "Basic" heading, set

Community to "public" and set Location to a meaning-

ful name of your choice. This entry will help you identify

the speciﬁc NPR when multiple NPRs are installed on the

same subnet. In the example, "LSP" is entered. This en-

try will be read by an SNMP system as "syslocation", OID

.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6. The default port for SNMP is port 161. Be

sure to open the SNMP port if accessing SNMP outside

your ﬁrewall. Click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the

"Basic" section to save the settings, otherwise you will lose

the settings. These settings will take effect after a reboot of

the NPR.

The "Security Name" section of the SNMP Setting block al-

lows you to grant only speciﬁed computers (by IP address)

SNMP v1 and v2 access. Since v1 and v2 do not have pass-

word protection, the Security Name settings add security

to v1 and v2 access. The web server is password protected

and a user must have the web server password in order to

setup a computer in the Security Name settings and gain v1

and v2 access.

The example sets up computers connected to a subnet to

gain SNMP v1 and v2 access. The subnet is named "mynet-

work" and the source network is 192.168.1.xxx. Note that

the last part of the IP address needs to be replaced with

"0/24" to allow all computers in the 192.168.1.xxx subnet to

access the NPR with SNMP v1 and v2.

Multiple source networks can be added to the Security

Name Setting block. Be sure to click the "Submit" button to

save the settings. The settings will take effect after a reboot

of the NPR.

The "V3 User" section of the SNMP Setting block allows for

a user to set up an SNMP v3 user name and password. With

a user name and password, the NPR may be accessed from

anywhere via the internet by using the SNMP v3 protocol

iWARNING - Passwords may not contain any special

characters. Only numbers and letters may be used. Creat-

ing a password with a special character will result in the

user being locked out of the device and will require a device

reset.

No security name setup is required for v3 users and mul-

tiple v3 users may be set up in the same table. Click the

"Submit" button to save the settings, which will take effect

after rebooting the NPR.

2.6 Conﬁguring the Email Settings

The NPR can be conﬁgured to send email alerts on user-

speciﬁed conditions and periodic status reports. Under-

neath the SNMP Setting block on the Conﬁgure page is the

Email Setting block (See Figure 9).

Under "Receive Addresses", the email address or addresses

to receive the alerts and reports should be entered. Up to

four recipient email addresses may be entered.

Under "Sender", the settings of the account to send the

emails should be entered. These settings include:

Click the "Submit" button to save the settings, which will

take effect after rebooting the NPR.

Sender SMTP Server

This is the address of the SMTP server for the email provider.

Consult with your email provider for this address.

Sender's Email

This is the email address which the NPR will use to send emails.

Sender Email Password

This is the password associated with the Sender's Email account.

TLS

Check this box if your email provider requires TLS or SSL encryption.

SMTP Port #

Enter the port number required by your email provider for send-

ing email. Usually this is "25".

Authentication

Choose the proper authentication method for your email provider

from the drop-down list. Usually, this is "login".

Send Period

Selects how often the NPR sends a regular email status report.

The period can vary from 1 hour to 6 months or, if you do not

want the NPR to send periodic reports, select "Never". Note that

the "Send Period" setting does not affect the sending of email

alerts generated on faults or events selected by the user, only the

periodic status report.

NOTE: Regarding Microsoft Exchange – By Default, Micro-

soft Exchange will not accept SMTP connections. To use

the NPR’s email functions through Microsoft Exchange, the

Exchange service must be conﬁgured to allow SMTP con-

nections. Consult with the administrator of your Microsoft

Exchange Server.

TIP: Most mobile phone providers have an email address

available which will convert an email into an SMS text mes-

sage. This email address is usually in the form of: (the

mobile phone number)@xxxxxx. Consult with your mobile

provider for more information. The CSV attachment will

be removed, since SMS text messages are not compatible

with attachments. Because of this, it is recommended that

the SMS email be entered as an ADDITIONAL "Receive Ad-

dress" on the NPR, so that the CSV ﬁle will still be available

via regular email.

Installation and Operation

2.7 The Programming Page

Figure 10 shows the Programming page of the PowerCom-

PoE management software.

The programming page allows users to set optional upper

and lower limits for the measured voltage and current of

each port. If any of these limits are exceeded, and the “E-

Mail Alert” box is checked for the port, an email will be sent

to the address conﬁgured in Section 2.6 of this manual.

This email includes an attached CSV ﬁle containing all of the

data in the HOME page. NOTE: The email settings must be

conﬁgured properly. See Section 2.6 of this manual.

To enable upper and lower limit checking, check the box

next to “Voltage & Current Limit Setting” at the top of the

screen. Check the “E-Mail Alert” box for any port to be mon-

itored and enter the lower and upper limits for that port.

Click the “Save” button to save the settings.

NOTE: The upper and lower limits entered must be within

the allowed range. For voltage limits, the range is 0 to 60V.

For current limits, the range is 0 to 638mA.

Installation and Operation

2.8 Setting Up the NPR for use with the MSM-200 multi-

site manager

The MSM-200 will auto discover the NPR when properly

conﬁgured. The conﬁguration method is determined by the

MSM's IP subnet in relation to the NPR.

NPR in the same subnet as the MSM-200

If the NPR is within the same local network as the MSM-

200 and is set to be within the same subnet, the MSM will

auto-detect the NPR. For example, if the MSM is prop-

erly conﬁgured on a LAN and has the local IP address of

192.168.1.100, the NPR should also have an IP address of

192.168.1.xxx to be auto-discovered. The MSM may take

several minutes to ﬁnd the NPR. Once discovered, the MSM

will auto assign the VPN IP address for the NPR (for ex-

ample, 192.168.3.xxx).

NPR not within the same subnet or LAN as the MSM-200

If the NPR is not within the same subnet as the MSM-200,

additional conﬁguration must be performed in order to con-

nect the device to the MSM-200. NOTE: To conﬁgure an

NPR which is NOT on the same LAN as the MSM-200, both

the MSM-200 and the NPR must be on networks with inter-

net access.

Within the NPR's "Conﬁguration" screen is a VPN Settings

section (Figure 11). To conﬁgure the device to be auto de-

tected by the MSM-200, conﬁgure this section as follows:

EnableRemoteVPNServer - Check this box to enable the

remote VPN Server

IP Address - Enter the IP address of the remote MSM-200.

User Name - Enter one of the VPN user names. These are

either the predeﬁned vpn1 through vpn9 default user names

or an administrator conﬁgured user name. See section 3.5

of the MSM-200 manual for more information.

Password - Enter the correct password for the VPN user

name entered. For the default vpn1 through vpn9 user

names, this password is "12345".

Click the "Submit" button to apply the settings and reboot

the NPR for the settings to take effect. The MSM may take

several minutes to discover the NPR, depending on network

speed and trafﬁc.

Conﬁguration and Usage

Priority

This column allows users to set a priority for each port.

For each port there is a corresponding priority drop-

down list where a priority between 0 and 15 can be se-

lected (where “0” is the highest priority and "15" is the

lowest priority). After the priorities are set, the "Save set-

ting” button at the bottom right of the HOME page must

be clicked to save the priority settings.

When the total power drawn from the NPR exceeds the

rated value (ex. 270W for the NPR250), the lowest prior-

ity ports will begin disabling to prevent the NPR from

overloading. NOTE: Each port can supply a maximum of

30W of power per the IEEE 802.3at standard provided

that the total power drawn does not exceed rated power

for the NPR model used.

NOTE: If two or more ports have the same priority se-

lected, the NPR will disable the lowest number port ﬁrst

(i.e. Port 1 will disable, then Port 2 if both are set to the

same priority).

Ext. Control

This column allows users to select which ports will be

controlled by the "External Control" input terminals on

the front panel of the NPR. When the External Control

terminals are activated (by an access control panel,

switch, or other device), the ports that are selected will

disable. After checking the ports, save the selection by

clicking the “Save setting” button at the bottom right of

the HOME page.

Device

This column allows the user to enter names for the PoE

compatible devices connected to each output port of the

NPR. The maximum length of the entry is 20 characters.

After entering the names, click the “Save setting” button

at the bottom of the HOME page.

Enable

This column shows the enable/disable state of each port.

If a port is enabled, the display shows “On”. If a port is dis-

abled, the display will show “Off”. See the Enable and Dis-

able button sections of this manual for more information.

Upgrading Firmware

The Upgrade Firmware section is at the top left of the

Tools page (See Figure 12). To upgrade the ﬁrmware,

ﬁrst ensure that the new ﬁrmware ﬁle is available on your

computer, then click the "Upgrade" button and the Up-

grade window will appear.

Click the "Browse..." button and locate the new ﬁrmware

ﬁle with the ﬁle extension ".bin" on your computer. Once

the ﬁle is selected, click "Open". Click the "Download" but-

ton to temporarily download the new ﬁrmware into the

RAM of the NPR. This process will take from 30 seconds

to one minute, depending on network speed and trafﬁc

and the message box will display "Downloading...". Once

the ﬁrmware is loaded into the NPR's RAM, it can then

be burned to the processor in the NPR. Verify the cor-

rect ﬁle name and click the "Conﬁrm" button to conﬁrm

the upgrade. Next click the "Burn" button to begin burning

the ﬁrmware to the NPR's processor. This process may

take up to 12 minutes - DO NOT REMOVE POWER TO THE

NPR DURING THIS PROCESS or the NPR will be rendered

nonfunctional.

Once the update is complete, a message will appear in

the message box indicating "Update Finished". The NPR

must be rebooted in order to start the new ﬁrmware.

Rebooting the NPR

The "Reboot" section is on the top right of the Tools page (See

Figure 12). To reboot the NPR, click the "Submit" button.

Once the "Conﬁrm Reboot" message appears in the Mes-

sage window, click the OK button to Conﬁrm the reboot. The

rebooting process will take approximately 1 minute, during

which you will lose communication with the NPR. Commu-

nication will be restored once the yellow LED lights steady.
