OBSERVE WARNINGS: All warnings in the operating instructions should be carefully followed. Do not make any modifications to the WESII unit, Power Injection Module (PIM), or any other KBC Networks electronic device, as the unit(s) will no longer comply with legal regulations and therefore void its warranty.
WATER AND MOISTURE: The WESII unit is weatherproof provided it is installed in accordance to the mounting details listed in section 2.4.3. However, further protection or housing is suggested for harsh environments, as moisture damage voids its warranty. The PIMs used in this system are NOT weatherproof. None of the modules in this system are waterproof and should never be submerged. Severe electrical shock, personal injury or damage to the equipment may result.
POWER SOURCE: Connect the equipment to a power source only of the type described on the operating instructions or as marked on the equipment. Excessive or insufficient current or voltage can cause extended trouble-shooting or even damage that could negate its warranty. The power supply cable should not be modified/extended due to the ability to use up to 100m of power over Ethernet cable. In addition, Ethernet cable running from the PIM to the WEM should be kept separated from high-voltage cables and/or transformers.
ATTACHMENTS: Use only KBC Networks’ supplied or recommended Power Injection Modules, Power Supplies, Cat5 Cables and weather seals and plugs.
WHEN NOT IN USE: Unplug the power if the equipment is left unattended or unused for long periods of time or during lightning storms.

Environmental Restrictions of Wireless Devices
KBC products are engineered to the highest standards and designed to work in a variety of wireless applications and environments. A wireless environment includes the site in which the product is installed, the installation including power and cabling as well as any extra materials that might be necessary to complete the wireless project. Due to the fact that environments and installations differ from site to site, KBC cannot control the variables required to ensure an ideal environment. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee a successful application based on a drawing, application note, distance calculation, quote or other type of material that KBC may provide. Should a quote, drawing, etc. be made available, it is based on the performance of the WESII product in an ideal environment with clear line-of-sight, absence of 5 GHz interference and/or frequency multi-path reflection. Therefore, KBC cannot be held responsible should the products not operate as desired or should additional products be required to complete a project. In addition, should a particular environment restrict the usage of the WESII in any way, KBC offers a thirty (30) day return policy from date of shipment to the original purchaser if goods are returned in an ‘as new’ condition.

1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
This manual covers all the functions of the products that form KBC Networks’ WESII Series. The WESII Wireless Ethernet System is a wireless transmission system that provides a cable less transmission path for an Ethernet channel. They are designed for use in a wide range of operating temperatures in non-environmentally conditioned, outdoor applications. The primary function of the system is to replace Ethernet cables where it is not practical or cost-effective or where it is beyond distance limitations. WESII has been specifically designed to transmit constant streaming video but can also be used to send and receive standard Ethernet data packets or to operate as a WiFi Access Point. The units can be configured as a long range point-to-point wireless bridge or as a point-to-multipoint receiving antenna communicating to numerous transmitting Client/Station devices. This manual covers all operations and functions of the point-to­point and point-to-multipoint systems.
WESII
1.1.1.
The KBC WESII Series is a wireless transmission system that operates in the license free
2.4GHz & 5GHz bands and also in the 4.9GHz Public Safety band (only available in the US). The units are available as PoE or non-PoE with a range of antennas to suit applications. The units will support throughput of up to 99Mbps due to MIMO technology.

8. Cable Assembly
8.1 Strain Relief Assembly
1. Thread the Cat 5 cable through the hole in the gland.
2. Pull the cable through and crimp on the RJ45 connector – see section 8.2
3. Connect the RJ45 connector into the WESII’s LAN port.
4. Tighten the clamping nut until the Ethernet cable is secured in the connector until it
is hand tight.
Note: the RJ45 connector does move slightly within the LAN port on the WESII unit this
allows the RJ45 connector to be connected to the Ethernet port more easily.
8.2 Configuring the Cable.
Note: The total length of cable from the WESII to the Ethernet device cannot exceed
100m (325 feet); however, for a non-PoE WESII unit the PIM can be located anywhere along the overall 100m of cable. KBC Networks recommends shielded Ethernet cables for the cable connecting the PIM to the WESII unit. Any cable exposed to the elements should also be outdoor rated.
1. Determine the length of cable that will be required and where the PIM will be
located.
2. Slide the weatherproof connector over the cable jacket before crimping the
connector. See Section 8.1 for the assembly instructions. If needed, see below for color-code standards to configure the correct type of Ethernet cable.
Note: E
thernet standard straight-through cable configurations used must be configured to one of the Ethernet standards (568-A or 568-B) in order for the WESII system to operate efficiently. Any deviation from one of the two standard configurations can lead to undesired activity.
WESII User Manual
Manual-WESII-Rev1403 Copyright © KBC Networks 2014 Page 30 of 140 www.kbcnetworks.com
Pin out for color codes 568-A and 568-B:

10 Installing on site
Once you are happy with the basic Host and Client(s) set up as described above the units can be installed on site. It is recommended that all units are set up prior to installation on site although frequencies may need to be adjusted if they have been manually set if there is interference on certain channels. See Section 11.2.6.1 Interference Analyzer for instructions of how to carry out a frequency site survey using the ‘Interference Analyzer’ tool on a Host unit to determine frequencies already in use on a site.
10.1 Line-of-sight
It is important that there is proper line-of-sight between each Host and associated Client(s). Line-of-sight is NOT just a single clear view running between the two points like a laser beam. Line-of-sight includes the Fresnel Zone; think of being able to drive a double decker bus between the two points without anything being in its path. If trees or any other obstacle are blocking part of the Fresnel zone, the wireless system may not transmit the signal the required distance.
In a situation like this, the transmit and receive antennas need to be mounted on higher poles to get above the trees.

10.3 Cable lengths when installing WESII units
When installing the WESII units the total combined length of cables for any configuration must not exceed 100m.
Note: T
he type of Cat5 configuration may be determined by the LAN port of the Ethernet device. If the port is a 10/100 port, you may require a crossover cable. A crossover cable is not necessary if the two PIMs connect into an Ethernet switch. Most cables used to connect the WESII system are configured using a straight-through color code.

10.4 Aligning the WESII units
For each WESII radio in the system, carry out the following steps:
Ensure the WESII unit is powered either by the PIM for non-PoE units or a PSE
(eg.Ethernet switch) for PoE units. The WESII unit’s power LED should be green, ensure that the cable into the LAN port is seated properly.
Align the Client unit(s) to the Host unit so that they are pointing directly towards
each other.
The RSSI level of the link needs to be between 40 – 50dB if possible; to check
this either:
o Look on the back side of the WESII unit to determine the RSSI LED status
and re-position if necessary to obtain the best RSSI signal strength, or
o On the Client unit in the ‘Status’ page of the GUI click on the <Align>
button to determine the RSSI level and re-position as necessary. For further information see Section 11.2.1.5 Align.
10.5 Configuring IP addresses on a site
When installing multiple point-to-point or point-to-multipoint groups on one site, it is important to ensure that each piece of equipment has a unique IP address. To change the WESII unit’s IP addresses from their default (192.168.1.200 – Host, 192.168.1 201 – Client) see Section 11.2.6.1 Manual setting.

10.6 Replacing / Adding a WESII Module from/to the Existing Application
10.6.1 Replacing a WESII Host unit
The WESII Host/AP connects to its Client(s) based on its MAC Address. A point-to-point Host/AP can connect to one Client MAC address only. A point-to-multipoint Host/AP can connect to multiple Clients.
If a Host/AP is being replaced, the Client(s) with which it is required to communicate must also be re-configured within WESII Client’s System page to ensure that the correct MAC address is selected for the new Host/AP.
In addition, if adding a new Host/AP to an existing application the Host/AP must be configured to an available frequency not being used by the existing system.
10.6.2 Replacing a WESII Client unit
If a Client is being replaced, or added to a point-to-multipoint network, it’s SSID, Country Code and channel spectrum width settings must be configured to match the Host/ AP configuration with which it wants to connect.
If a Client is being replaced in a point-to-point network see Section 9 to reconfigure the link.

11 Graphical User Interface
The WESII Graphical User Interface can be accessed in the following ways:
connecting directly to the WESII unit through the PIM for non-PoE units
connecting via the PSE (eg. Ethernet switch) for PoE units
via a WESII point-to-multipoint Host/AP connection to a Client PC/laptop
over a WESII wireless connection
11.1 Connecting to the WESII GUI using a PC
11.1.1 For a WESII non-PoE unit:
Connect the first Ethernet straight through cable from the ‘IN’ on the PIM to either a laptop or a PC LAN port.
Connect the second Ethernet straight through cable from ‘OUT’ on the same PIM to the WESII Host LAN port.
Apply power to the PIM with the provided 24Vdc PSU, ensure that the green LED on the PIM is illuminated. Allow 60 seconds for the unit to boot up.
See Section 7 for WESII LED boot up process.
Note: Due to various port types, a crossover Ethernet cable may be required between
the Ethernet device and ‘IN’ port on the PIM. KBC Networks recommends a crossover cable be available during set up, trouble-shooting and maintenance of the system.

11.1.2 For a WESII PoE unit:
Connect an Ethernet cable from the PSE device (eg. Ethernet switch) to the LAN port of the WESII unit.
Connect the second Ethernet straight through cable to either a laptop or a PC LAN port.
Apply power to the PSE device and allow 60 seconds for the unit to boot up.
See Section 7 for the WESII LED boot up process.
11.1.3 Accessing the GUI via a Web Browser
The computer used to access the WESII GUI must be set to a static IP address on the same subnet as the WESII unit. The WESII default configuration is on the 192.168.1.x subnet (refer to any provided documentation for the exact IP address for the individual unit) therefore the computer must also be set to a 192.168.1.x IP address if the unit is still on its factory set configurations.
Once the computer’s IP address is confirmed, open a web browser such as MS Internet Explorer® or Mozilla Firefox®. Type in the Host/AP (192.168.1.200 default) or Client (192.168.1.201 default) IP address in the address bar at the top of the web browser. If the IP is correct and the link activity is established, the browser will prompt you to enter the User Name and Password. The User Name and Password are ‘admin’ / ‘admin’ (case sensitive).
