Equipment Required for Physical Deployment

Two straight-through Ethernet cables are required for connection from the WES2HT to PoE enabled switches or PIMs.

Note:

WES2HT requires a CAT6 or Gigabit Ethernet

cable. KBC recommends shielded outdoor rated Ethernet cables when connecting near power outlets & when exposed to the elements.

Physical Deployment

This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with instructions found in the KBC

be as depicted, failure to comply with these instructions will invalidate warranty.

Note:

The WES2HT comes pre-configured from the

factory and does not require custom settings for basic operation. Please refer to the documentation provided for pre-set configuration settings.

If custom settings are required and/or desired, please set the custom configurations as follows:

Configuring the Host unit:

1. Connect the PIM, PoE 802.3af or 802.3at compliant sourcing device to the Ethernet port of the WES2HT Host PoE unit.

2. Allow 60s for the unit to boot.

3. Verify that the static IP address on the laptop is set to 192.168.1.x subnet.

4. Open a web browser to access the Host on its 192.168.1.200 IP address; this is the default address for the unit.

5. Enter the following to access the GUI:

ID: admin Password: admin

Note: Ensure that all other network interface

connections including your laptop Wifi are disabled.

6. Select: <Interference Analyzer> to

determine which frequencies are available in your location.
