Safety Warnings
!Warning! For your safety please read the following warning notices and instructions.
Safety, Approvals and Regulatory Domain
Information
Safety Instruction
For your protection, please read and observe all safety instructions before operating this
system and keep this sheet and any additional instructions for future reference.
Installation and Use
OBSERVE WARNINGS: All warnings in the operating instructions should be carefully
followed. Do not make any modifications to the WES2HT 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 WES2HT unit is weatherproof provided it is installed in
accordance to the mounting details listed in section 5 below. 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.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, use only replacement
parts specified by KBC Networks. Unauthorized substitutions may result in damage to
the system and could void the warranty.

1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
This manual covers all the functions of the products that form KBC Networks’ WES2HT
Series. The WES2HT High Throughput 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. WES2HT has been specifically designed to transmit constant
streaming video but can also be used to send and receive standard Ethernet data
packets and in some cases, with certain WES2HT models, 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-to-
point and point-to-multipoint systems.
1.1.1.WES2HT
The KBC WES2HT 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 useable throughput of up to 230Mbps (400Mbps
aggregate). WES2HT requires CAT6 or above (Gigabit Ethernet Cable).

2.2 Point-to-multipoint
2.1.1.Non-PoE WES2HT
2.1.2.PoE WES2HT
Note: Switches must be gigabit POE or gigabit POE+
Note: The system is capable of being powered by PoE or via the passive power injector
(PIM) and power supply included with the product. In essence, there is only one version
of the system but it can be powered via the PIM if there is no PoE switch available or via
an IEEE 802.3af PSE device.

2.5 Mixed systems –WES2HT & MESH2HT (or MESHII)
In many wireless designs there are multiple transmitters sending to one common
receiver. Often the amount of throughput coming into the transmitter is less than
99Mbps so the standard WESII series could be used on the transmit side. On the receive
side, however, the overall throughput coming into the receiver may exceed 99Mbps and
therefore need the HT multipoint host. In the drawing below, assume that the camera
icon represents numerous cameras and/or high megapixel but the total amount of
throughput at each transmit site will never exceed 99Mbps. The diagram also assumes
that the amount of throughput at the receive Host site is more than 99Mbps but less
than 230Mbps.
Note: Switch at the Host receive side must be gigabit (POE optional)
