4.1. Portijiet u Indikaturi

Each CPE device features the following ports and LED indicators on its underside:

  • Port WAN: Used for connecting to the network (e.g., router, NVR) and for Power over Ethernet (PoE) input.
  • Port tal-LAN: Used for connecting to client devices (e.g., IP camera, PC).
  • Buttuna RESET: Used to reset the device to factory defaults. Press and hold for approximately 5-10 seconds while the device is powered on.
  • Wiri LED: A digital display showing configuration status (e.g., '8.8.8.8' for Master, '8.8.8.9' for Slave, or other status codes).
  • Dwal indikaturi:
    • LED tal-qawwa: Jindika l-istatus tal-enerġija.
    • WAN LED: Indicates WAN port activity.
    • LED LAN: Jindika attività tal-port tal-LAN.
    • LEDs tal-Qawwa tas-Sinjal: Multiple LEDs indicating wireless signal strength.

5. Setup u Installazzjoni

The KuWFi CPE devices can be configured for Point-to-Point (PTP) or Point-to-Multi-Point (PTMP) connections. One device will act as the Master, and the other(s) as Skjav(i).

5.1. Basic Connection Diagram (PTP)

For a basic Point-to-Point setup, you will need two CPE devices. One acts as the Master, connected to your network source (e.g., router), and the other as the Slave, connected to your client device (e.g., IP camera, PC).

  1. Master Device Setup:
    • Connect an Ethernet cable from your router/NVR to the WAN port of the Master CPE device.
    • Power the Master CPE device using the provided PoE injector.
    • Ensure the LED display on the Master device shows the correct configuration (e.g., '8.8.8.8').
  2. Slave Device Setup:
    • Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the Slave CPE device to your client device (e.g., IP camera, PC).
    • Power the Slave CPE device using the provided PoE injector.
    • Ensure the LED display on the Slave device shows the correct configuration (e.g., '8.8.8.9').
  3. Immuntar: Mount the devices outdoors in a clear line of sight for optimal signal transmission. Use the provided mounting accessories.

5.2. Configuring Master/Slave Roles

The CPE devices typically use an LED display for initial configuration. Refer to the device's quick start guide or the manufacturer's website for specific steps on how to set one device as Master and the other(s) as Slave(s) using the LED display or a web interface.

  • Master: Connects to the main network source (e.g., router).
  • Skjav: Connects to the remote client device(s).

6. Modi Operattivi

The KuWFi CPE devices support two primary operating modes:

  • Modalità AP (Punt ta' Aċċess): In this mode, the device acts as a wireless access point, broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal for other devices to connect to. This is typically used when the CPE is connected to a wired network and needs to provide wireless access.
  • Modalità Bridge: In this mode, the device creates a wireless link between two wired networks or extends a wired network wirelessly. This is the primary mode for PTP/PTMP connections, where one CPE bridges the network to another CPE.

7. Manutenzjoni

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KuWFi CPE devices, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Tindif: Periodically clean the exterior of the devices with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
  • Aġġornamenti tal-Firmware: Check the KuWFi official websit (www.kuwfi.com) for the latest firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated can improve performance, add new features, and fix bugs.
  • Protezzjoni Ambjentali: Ensure the devices are securely mounted and protected from extreme weather conditions beyond their specified operating range.

  • Ebda Qawwa:
    • Ensure the PoE injector is properly connected and receiving power.
    • Iċċekkja l-konnessjonijiet kollha tal-kejbil.
  • L-ebda Konnessjoni man-Netwerk:
    • Verify that the Master and Slave devices are correctly configured (e.g., LED display shows correct codes).
    • Check the WAN/LAN LED indicators for activity.
    • Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the Master and Slave devices.
    • Try resetting both devices to factory defaults and reconfiguring them.
    • Confirm that the connected router/NVR is functioning correctly.
  • Sinjal Dgħajjef/Veloċità Baxxa:
    • Adjust the alignment of the devices to ensure optimal signal strength.
    • Check for obstructions between the devices.
    • Ensure the distance between devices does not exceed the recommended range (1KM).
    • Imminimizza l-interferenza minn apparati oħra mingħajr fili ta' 2.4GHz.
  • Ma nistax naċċessa Web Interface (if applicable):
    • Ensure your computer is connected to the CPE's LAN port or a network segment that can reach the CPE's IP address.
    • Verify the CPE's default IP address (refer to the quick start guide or device label).
    • Temporarily disable your computer's firewall.
