NetwaySP4. The default address of the NetwaySP4 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 NetwaySP4 and the other to the network
connection of the laptop.

A dialog box Authentication Required will appear requesting both user name and password.
Enter the default values here. Click on the button labeled

In the IP Address Method field select the method that the IP Address for the NetWaySP4 will be obtained
(STATIC or DHCP), then follow the appropriate steps.
Static:
A. IP Address: Enter the IP address assigned to the NetWaySP4 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 NetWaySP4 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 NetWaySP4 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.

mode. The IP address will be assigned by the router when the NetWaySP4 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 NetWaySP4 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.
