KPWL-0300 User's Manual 4
1.4 Precautions Regarding Electromagnetic Radiation
The device is technically certified as a wireless radio station in various countries and regions. Therefore, a radio station
license is not needed to use this product. Also, the device can only be used in countries for which it has received
certification.
The device is technically certified as a wireless radio station in various countries and regions, so disassembly,
modification, or removal of certification labels is prohibited.
Use of IEEE802.11a/na/ac W52, W53 (36ch - 64ch) is prohibited outdoors depending on the radio laws of the
region in which it is used.
The device supports IEEE802.11b/g/n, so do not use it in locations where static electricity is generated, near
microwave ovens, or near equipment that uses electricity near the 2.4 GHz range.
The wireless channels of products that support IEEE802.11b/g/n are used for some industrial, scientific, and
medical equipment, indoor radio stations, and special low-power radio stations.
IEEE802.11b/g/n may cause radio wave interference with the equipment and radio stations described above,
so be careful to not bring them too close.
In addition, usage must be according to the radio laws of the country in which it is used.
1.5 Precautions Regarding Security
A wireless LAN uses radio waves to connect to terminals, such as computers and wireless access points (hereafter AP)
to exchange information. Therefore, compared to using LAN cables, it is remarkably more convenient and people can
connect to the network from any place that is within the range of the radio waves.
On the other hand, it is possible to connect from any place within range of the radio waves, even if there are
obstructions, for example. Because of this, if you do not do the security settings, there is a risk that the following
problems may occur.
Your communications could be intercepted. A malevolent third party could purposefully intercept your radio
transmissions and see your personal information, emails, and other communications.
They could gain unauthorized access. There is a risk of leaking information, such as secret information or
personal information, if they get unauthorized access to the network. There is also a risk of fraudulent
information being released through identity fraud. Also, there is a possibility that the intercepted data could be
falsified and then released or it could be infected with a virus.
Nevertheless, the APs used for wireless communications support security systems that are engineered to handle these
problems. So, it is possible to eliminate almost all risk of problems developing by doing the security settings before
using the devices.
For some devices, the security settings have not been done at the default level. Therefore, the users must do the
settings before using them as an AP to avoid security related risks. Furthermore, please note that when you use the
device, there is a possibility that the security settings may be circumvented using some special methods.
Note that Kpnetworks has no liability for compensation in regard to losses due to wireless interception, regardless of
whether or not the security settings were done.

1. Press the Reroute button of the KPWL unit that is the furthest from the core unit.
* Actually, you could press any KPWL Reroute button. Even if there are multiple KPWL units, pressing the Reroute button on only
one of them will result in intercommunication among all units.
2. A short while after you press the Reroute button, the LINK LED will flash a number of times, and then remain lit.
If you can confirm that the LINK LED is on, that KPWL is enabled for use. The LED flashes one to four times to indicate the
strength of the link (more flashes mean a stronger link).
If the LED flashes twice or less, there is the danger that communication quality (including speed) may be
low due to a weak connection.
If the LED does not light, it means that DPWL interconnection (linking) failed.
For information about installation locations, refer to " Signal Connectability " and consider changing or modifying
the installation location.
3. Note how many times the LINK LED lamp flashes on all of the installed KPWL slave units.
