K60x User Guide 1 Preface 1.1 Preface overview Thank you for choosing the K60x system from Kwikbit. This guide introduces you to system concepts, system architecture and commonly used terms. This preface describes: ● ● ● Audience for this guide Additional documentation Where to go for more help 1.2 About this guide This guide provides an overview of the K60x system, its components, its network architecture, and how it is configured and deployed.
K60x User Guide 1.4 Additional help Kwikbit is committed to providing our customers with high quality technical support via the following methods: Web E-mail Phone support.kwikbit.com support@kwikbit.com +1 (952) 657-5628 2 Kwikbit K60x System Overview Figure 1: K60x System in a Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) Wireless Communication Application Kwikbit is a leader in gigabit wireless distribution solutions that intelligently adapt to challenging environments to maximize performance and reliability.
K60x User Guide non-technical staff as precise mechanical alignment, as required by previous generation 60 GHz systems, is not required. The K60x 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 backhaul services by providing 1 Gbps of symmetric throughput. The K60x system operates in unlicensed Time Division Multiplexing (TDD) band 57.05 – 64.
K60x User Guide ● Edge Controller: Optional appliance computer that provides WebUI tools for deployment planning, commissioning, network configuration, management, monitoring and fault isolation. Edge controller is highly recommended for networks of medium and large scale. The K60x Hub and Remote Units are identical from a hardware perspective, only differing in software configuration. The K60x has a small form factor that can be easily and unobtrusively deployed in many different outdoor environments.
K60x User Guide system. Precise physical alignment of the radios, as required with previous 60 GHz products, is not required with the Kwikbit system. The beamforming feature also enables the PtMP communication capability of the system. ● Power Management: The K60x 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.
K60x User Guide Figure 2: K60x 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 K60x unit and enables non-technical personnel to physically install an entire network without K60x 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.

K60x User Guide EMC IEC EN 61000-4-3 4.4 System Enclosure Figure 3: Ports on K60x (Hub and Remote) The K60x 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 three RJ45 connectors.
K60x User Guide and up to 15W 802.3af PoE power output. 70W PoE input power would be required to satisfy the maximum 24W power consumption of the K60x plus support the maximum delivered PoE output power with two connected devices (802.3af/15W delivered on port three plus 802.3at/30W delivered on port two). 5 System Throughput The K60x system uses time division duplexing (TDD) access mode, employing a single frequency for both transmit and receive paths.
K60x User Guide 6 Element and Network Management The K60x system supports the following network management interfaces: ● ● ● K60x Web Interface (WebUI). Accessible via HTTPS, the K60x WebUI provides an interactive visual toolset that allows an operator to modify the full configuration of the K60x system as well as view state, fault, and performance indicator. K60x Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a set of commands that allows the operator to manage, maintain and troubleshoot the system.
K60x User Guide The optional Kwikbit Edge Controller’s management application automatically discovers all connected K60x devices on the network and establishes a secure connection to each one utilizing a security certificate provided by Kwikbit and customized by the customer. For more information on the Kwikbit Edge Controller device and associated applications, please refer to the Kwikbit Edge Controller User Manual. The K60x system provides the following network management functions: 1.
K60x User Guide ● ● ● ● ● ● Insert the Reset Dongle (provided separately) into Ethernet Port 3 (the 1Gbps port) Cycle the power During power-up, observe the LED.
K60x User Guide 9 LED Indicator Codes K60x is equipped with a single double color (red and green) LED indicator. The following are the LED indication modes. The sequences indicate the LED state during each 150ms time slot ● ● ● ● ● ● during boot up: solid red normal operation: o no wireless link: repeat the sequence: green, off, off, green, off, off ... o established wireless link: ▪ Hub: solid green ▪ Remote: signal quality from 1 blink for weakest to 5 blinks for the strongest between pauses.
K60x User Guide ● ● ● Mac OS X Unix Linux Note: With the exception of IE9, the K60x WebUI supports the most recent web browser and OS versions. Required basic K60x unit configuration tasks can be performed using the units WebUI; however, the Kwikbit Edge Controller can be used to quickly and efficiently plan, commission, configure and monitor small to large K60x networks. See the K60x Edge Controller User Guide for details. 10.
K60x 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.
K60x User Guide name, a browser page of that device is opened. By hovering over the signal quality graphic, detailed signal level information is displayed. You can change SSID and unit Role 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.
K60x User Guide centralized network operation view and management. Please see the Kwikbit Edge Controller User Guide for detailed information. If it is desired to provision a K60x network without the use of edge controller, the following tasks associated with preparing a K60x 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.
K60x User Guide Lacking both of these will result in Remote nodes periodically scanning attempting to locate the Root node. ● Click Submit to save changes. 4. Click on the tool icon in the Device section to configure the Location at which the device will be physically installed and the description of the device. Click Submit. 5.
