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 itself and
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 WES 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 WES in any way, KBC offers a thirty (30) day return
policy from date of original shipment (see page 2) to the original purchaser.

1. Remove the Host and Client from the box, select frequency via the
rotary switch at the side of the unit. (Factory set to channel 0 unless
otherwise noted) The channels of each set of Host/Clients must be
matched for the radios to communicate with each other. For multi-
connect devices, each Client must be set to the same channel as the
Host that it will be connected to. If connecting more than one Client
to a single Host, please see the advanced operation section of this
manual for multipoint setup.
2. Mount the Client at the remote location. Point the Client as accurately
as possible to the point where its Host AP will be mounted.
3. Remove the Power Injection Modules (PIMs) from the box and
determine where they will be located for each Host/Client. Total
distance between a Host/Client and connected Ethernet device cannot
exceed 100 meters (300 feet). The PIMs can be located anywhere
along the 100m of CAT5 cable. Connect a standard CAT5 straight
through patch cable to the “P + Data Out” port on each PIM to its
corresponding Host/Client. “Data In” port on each PIM should be
connected to its respective Ethernet device using a standard CAT5
straight through patch cable. A crossover cable may be needed
depending on the LAN port of the Ethernet device in use.
4. Connect the included power supplies to the “Power In” port on the
PIMs and plug the transformers into a standard 110VAC outlet. If the
Ethernet devices on each end are connected, powered up and aimed
correctly, the “Link Activity”, “Power” and “Signal Level” LEDs will
illuminate. If the Ethernet device is not connected the “Power” LED
and “Signal Level” LEDs only will illuminate. If the “Signal Level” LED
is flashing, reposition the modules to achieve max signal strength.
For multi-connect applications, each Client will show a solid green
light when connected to a Multipoint Host. A flashing green LED on
the Multipoint Host Access Point will indicate the number of Client
Subscriber Units to which it is connected.
