FCC REGULATORY ALERT
As of 20 July, 2007, a new FCC regulation has gone into effect which impacts
operators of the U-NII band in the United States. As a result of this regulatory
change, several KBC products are affected. The FCC regulation impacts the sale of
wireless equipment in the 5.25-5.35 GHz band. The regulation states that all
devices imported and marketed after the 20 July, 2007 deadline must support
radar detection as specified by FCC in the 5.25-5.35 GHz frequency band.
AFFECTED KBC PRODUCTS

Wireless Ethernet PtP & MP System Operations Manual
WIRELESS ETHERNET SYSTEM (WES) DETAILS
The WES is a plug and play CAT5/Ethernet cable replacement system. It operates in the
5GHz U-NII bands on 5 non-overlapping channels. The WES system enables a wide
variety of IP cameras, DVR/NVRs, managed/non-managed switches, encoders/decoders
and web servers to be used across long range wireless line-of-sight links.

The LAN port must be weather protected with supplied strain-
relief positioned so the connector is at bottom of the case.
Weatherproof strain-relief plug should be tightened down to
the bottom of the case. The cable portion of the plug should be
open to allow moisture release and limited cable movement
but closed to restrict insects from entering the unit.
Technical Note:
FAQ: How Does the FCC Regulation Affect the WES User?
If one WES System is in use and there are no plans to add to the wireless project
then it may not affect you at all. However, if you are using two or more systems
then you may need to change frequencies according to the available channels.
Multiple WES systems set to channels 0, 1 or 2 (all unavailable 5.2/5.3 GHz
frequencies) will all be defaulted to channel 3 (available 5745 MHz). The next
available frequency in sequence would be channel 4 (5765 MHz). Channels 3
through 7 are all individual frequencies but channels 0-2 are not available.
