Equipment Required for Physical Deployment

You will need 2 straight-through Ethernet cables:

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

Physical Deployment

This equipment must be installed and operated in
accordance with instructions found in the KBC
Networks’ manual. The orientation of the units
must be as depicted, failure to comply with these
instructions will invalidate warranty.

Configuring the WESII-*A-**

Refer to provided documentation for pre-set configuration settings. The following procedures may be necessary if purchased
from distribution stock or in order to set custom configurations.

1. Connect the first Ethernet straight-through cable from the ‘IN’ on the PIM to either a laptop or a PC LAN
port.

2. Connect the second Ethernet straight-through cable from the ‘OUT’ on the same PIM to the Host LAN
port.

3. Apply power to the PIM with the provided 24VDC PSU and allow 60s for the unit to boot.

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

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

6. 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.

7. Select: ‘Basic Wireless’ and choose your country – not required for units purchased in the US.

Select: <Apply Settings>
Select: <Save>

Note: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the correct country is chosen. KBC accepts no liability for

incorrectly set up equipment.

8. Select: <Interference Analyzer> to determine which frequencies are available in your location.

Select: one of the available channels.
Select: <Apply Settings>
Select: <Save>

Note: The Client will not need the frequency selection but will need the country setting, SSID and the channel

spectrum width to be the same as the Host.

9. Note down all the MAC addresses and SSIDs used in the application for future reference.

Note: Point to point Host/Aps and their respective Clients must be MAC locked to one another.

Configuring the Mapping Option

If you have chosen the mapping option on your WESII unit you will
be able to view the system configuration and health all on one
page. Mapping is purchased as a separate option; please contact
KBC Networks if you would like to add this to your unit.

Note: only KBC nodes are shown on the topology page.

1. In the web browser

Select: ‘Basic Network’
Enter: enter a gateway address

Note: the gateway address must be a ping-able network device that is connected to any one of the system

node’s Ethernet port.

2. Once the complete system has been configured and is properly connected, a generic map will be created
in the Topology page.

Note: the router symbol is used to represent the gateway. All nodes will have the same gateway IP address

which is set to the gateway shown connected to Node 1.

3. In the Topology page to upload a background image
Select: <Browse>

4. Choose a file

Select: <Upload>

Note: The image size is limited to 120kB and must be JPEG or GIF format.

5. Move the nodes around on the page to represent their physical locations.
Select: <Save>

6. Hover over the node to display details of the radio link.

expense.

Industry Canada

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. To reduce potential radio interference to other
users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(E.I.R.P.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication. This device complies with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

• This device may not cause interference, and

• This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of
