Equipment Required for Physical Deployment

Two straight through Ethernet cables are required for connection from the WESII APHost or Client to the supplied PSU/PIM unit.

Note: The power supply / injector device

supplied must be used with the WESII series. 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 Networks’ manual. Damage due to misuse is not covered by warranty. Here are some important bullet points:

You will need to first feed the Ethernet

cable through the black strain relief (ie weather coupler protection piece) prior to crimping on the RJ45 connector.

Hand-tighten the Ethernet cable

connection protecting piece, do not tighten further. Damage due to overtightening the black weather coupler into its RJ45 housing is not covered under warranty.

Do not mount the antennas horizontally

or upside down. The black external LAN port is to be pointing downward with no ability for water to get into the housing.

Once the cable is inserted into the

external LAN port RJ45, a small flat head screwdriver, or similar tool, is needed to release the tab of the RJ45 connector on your cable. If you pull the cable without releasing the tab, it will cause damage to the port.

Default Configurations

The WESII-KT has been pre-set as a pair. The WESII-AA-CA APHost is locked to its Client and vice-versa. Refer to the serial number label on each device which will indicate the serial number of its mate radio. These two units have also been physically strapped together because they were factory set for another. A restore to defaults to one or both devices will erase their factory paired configuration resulting in the need to field/bench re-configure. A restore to factory defaults will return the units to the following:

Your kit is already pre-set for most deployments. The following is provided if you desire to change settings via the WESII web browser interface.

To access the web browser interface:

1. Connect Ethernet cables as shown above.

2. Plug in the PSU-Injector into an outlet.

The status LED 1 will flash then LEDs 5 & 6 will be solid green.

3. Ensure that your computer is set to the

same 192.168.1.x subnet as the WESII.

4. To access the WESII-AA-CA APHost:

To access the WESII-AC-CA Client:

If the APHost and Client are each powered and still under default settings they will connect:

If the connection is weak or if there are multiple WESII links in the same environment, changing the APHost frequency is recommended.

Changing the frequency:

6. Click on “KBC-WESII” as a short cut to get

to the Wireless Configuration. The menu will provide ability to make configuration changes.

6.1 KBC recommends 20 MHz and a static

frequency channel for most deployments.

6.2 Click on “Wireless” next to “Interfaces”

then click on “Spectrum” from the Wireless Overview to determine appropriate frequency to use.

Re-configuring the IP Addresses:

If you have multiple WESII kits or should network requirements restrict the unit IP address or if you desire your own set of IPs for the WESII units, see the instructions below.

7. If the IPs need to be changed:

7.1 Click on Network

7.2 Click Interfaces, “LAN” will appear under

“Interfaces”

7.3 Click “LAN” and the window shown below

will open:

5. Enter “password” to access the Status

page.

Status shows link connection and other setting specifics.

7.4 Change the IPv4 address to your needed

IP, click “Save&Apply”

6.3 Return to the Wireless Configuration

page to select your desired frequency.

6.4 Click “Save & Apply”

In the above example, the Host IP was changed from

the default 192.168.1.200 to a different IP address.
