K60 User Guide non-technical staff as precise mechanical alignment, as required by previous generation 60 GHz systems, is not required. The K60 system is designed for use in multiple applications including gigabit access, IoT backhaul (sensors, security cameras, etc.), optical fiber extension, and corporate and enterprise data services by providing 1 Gbps of symmetric throughput. The K60 system operates in unlicensed Time Division Multiplexing (TDD) band 57.05 – 64.
K60 User Guide monitoring and fault isolation. Edge controller is highly recommended for networks of medium and large scale. The K60 Hub and Remote Units are identical from a hardware perspective, only differing in software configuration. The K60 has a small form factor that can be easily and unobtrusively deployed in many different outdoor environments.
K60 User Guide ● Power Management: The K60 system utilizes the scheduled access mode to reduce power consumption. Devices connected with each other via a directional link schedule the periods during which they communicate and, in between those periods, they can sleep to save power. This capability allows devices to more precisely tailor their power management to their actual traffic workload, reduces potential co-channel interference and enables efficient spectrum utilization.
K60 User Guide Figure 2: K60 Hub and Remote WebUI interface page ● The Kwikbit Edge Controller is a very powerful part of the Kwikbit solution. The Edge Controller connects through an Ethernet connection to the root K60 unit and enables non-technical personnel to physically install an entire network without K60 units being configured on the bench in advance. A local or remote IT resource can design, commission and manage the network using the Edge Controller’s WebUI.

K60 User Guide 4.4 System Enclosure Figure 3: Ports on K60 (Hub and Remote) The K60 enclosure is a rugged casing that is supplied with a combination pole and wall mounting bracket. The mounting bracket allows for a range of orientation flexibility to enable mounting in challenging locations. Units installed at the same location can be interconnected for medium and large network deployments. The mechanical enclosure for the transceiver Module has two RJ45 connectors.
K60 User Guide 802.3bt). Port two is for Gigabit Ethernet network connectivity and provides PoE power output (up to 30W/802.3at). 38W PoE input power would be required to satisfy the maximum 8W power consumption of the K60 plus support the maximum delivered PoE output power (802.3at/30W delivered on port two). 5 System Throughput The K60 system uses time division duplexing (TDD) access mode, employing a single frequency for both transmit and receive paths.
K60 User Guide ● ● ● K60 Web Interface (WebUI). Accessible via HTTPS, the K60 WebUI provides an interactive visual toolset that allows an operator to modify the full configuration of the K60 system as well as view state, fault, and performance indicator. K60 Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a set of commands that allows the operator to manage, maintain and troubleshoot the system.
K60 User Guide more information on the Kwikbit Edge Controller device and associated applications, please refer to the Kwikbit Edge Controller User Manual. The K60 system provides the following network management functions: 1. Device configuration information and status is displayed on the WebUI page interface as shown above in Figure 2. When the mouse cursor is hovered over an Ethernet Port or wireless connections icon, detailed information is displayed.
K60 User Guide ● The login password is “kwikbit” 7 Ethernet Bridge Support Designed to seamlessly integrate into existing Ethernet networks, the K60 system is built for Ethernet connectivity services and provides network functionality as a standard Layer 2 (L2) Transparent Bridge (IEEE 802.1d), whereby the K60 cluster (a cluster being one Hub with its group of up to seven Remotes) is the bridge, and the Ethernet ports on the Hub and associated Remotes are the ports of the bridge.
K60 User Guide Remote: signal quality from 1 blink for weakest to 5 blinks for the strongest between pauses.
K60 User Guide commission, configure and monitor small to large K60 networks. See the K60 Edge Controller User Guide for details. 10.2 K60 Web UI Page The K60 WebUI is a single page that provides device status as well as configuration options. 10.2.1 Logging In Use your browser to connect to K60 device’s WebUI as described above. It is not necessary to login to the system in order to view the WebUI page.
K60 User Guide At the top of the WebUI screen, general node information including unit name, description, and location is displayed. There are two network sections on the page, Wireless and LAN. The Wireless section displays the connection SSID, the unit role (Hub or Remote) and all current wireless connections. If the unit is a Hub, all currently linked Remotes will be displayed under connections. If the unit is a Remote, only one connection to a Hub can be listed.
K60 User Guide configuration by clicking on the tool icon in the section banner, assuming you are an authorized user. The LAN section displays the unit’s assigned IP address and the status of the three Gigabit Ethernet ports. By hovering over the Ethernet port icons, detailed port status information is displayed. The unit’s IP configuration can be changed by clicking on the tool icon in the section banner.
K60 User Guide If it is desired to provision a K60 network without the use of edge controller, the following tasks associated with preparing a K60 system must be followed: 1. 2. 3. 4. Initial system setup and IP configurations Setting units’ roles Setting SSID and airlink connectivity passcode Setting communication channel frequency 12.1 Initial System Setup and IP Configurations All new K60 units shipped from the factory are identical with a default software configuration loaded.
