A cable configured with the 568-A color code on one end and the 568-B color code on
the other end is an Ethernet standard crossover cable.
Connect the RJ45 connector into the WESII’s LAN port. Slide the strain relief
back up the cable to the threaded portion on the LAN port of the device and
screw it into the Host/AP or Client and tighten.
Tighten the clamping nut until the Ethernet cable is secured in the connector.
The weatherproof strain relief should be tight to the case but the rubber
grommet opening should remain loose enough for the cable to wiggle slightly.
This will allow for condensation release.

Establishing a Link
For each WESII radio in the system, carry out the following steps:
Verify the antenna alignment and LED status. See section 2.4.3 for applicable
LED activity.
Ensure the green power LED on the PIM is illuminated. The WESII unit’s power
LED should be green provided the cable into the LAN port is seated properly. If
multiple Clients connect to one multipoint Host, verify all Clients are on the
same frequency as the Ptmp Host and pointed in its direction.
Note:
The RSSI figures can be used to fine tune alignment see section 2.4.8.
2.4.7
Cable Connections
The following wiring scheme represents the configurations that have been tested and
verified by KBC Networks based on typical Ethernet wiring solutions. Other wiring
configurations could be possible based on the application. A bench test is
recommended to verify the design below.
