  • Page 11 The green LED on the front on the ENC-H-W* will illuminate if the encoder is connected to a valid network/Ethernet device. If connected to a switch or KBC WESII / MESHII system then a straight through cable is needed for this connection.
  • Page 12 The KBC Encoder can also replace an SED series encoder and connect to an SED series decoder if applicable. If an SED series decoder is in use the easiest reconfiguration is to set the new encoder to the settings of the old SED series encoder which is no longer in use.
  • Page 13 Note: If a connection to a KBC Decoder cannot be established in the field or on a network, KBC recommends a test with the encoder directly connected to its mate decoder using a crossover cable. If the two units are connected via an unmanaged switch then the interface screen can be accessed from a web browser in order to identify if a problem in configuration exists.
