QUICK START GUIDE
MicroTek Electronics, Inc. recommends that all equipment be bench
tested before being installed onsite. This test will ensure the equipment
is functioning properly.
WIRELESS ETHERNET MODULE (WEM) SETUP
1. Remove the WEMs from box, select frequency via the rotary switch at the side of the
unit. (Factory set to channel 1) The channels of each set of WEMs must be matched for
the WEMs to communicate with each other.
2. Mount the first WEM at the desired location. Position WEM for desired polarity using
rear label arrow as a reference. The polarity on the WEMs must match for proper
operation.
3. Point the WEM as accurately as possible to the point where the second matched WEM
will be mounted.
4. Remove the Power Injection Modules (PIMs) from the box and determine where they
will be located for each WEM. The total distance between a WEM and connected
Ethernet device cannot exceed 300 feet. The PIMs can be located anywhere along the
300 feet of CAT5 cable. Connect standard CAT5 straight through cable to the “Ethernet
Out” port on each PIM and WEM. The “Ethernet In” port on each PIM should be
connected to its respective Ethernet device.
5. Connect the included power supplies to the “Power In” port on the PIMs and plug the
transformers into a standard 110VAC outlet. If the Ethernet devices on each end are
connected, powered up and aimed correctly, the “Link Activity”, “Power” and “Signal
Level” LEDs will illuminate. If the Ethernet device is not connected the “Power” LED
and “Signal Level” LEDs only will illuminate. If the “Signal Level” LED is flashing, the
WEMs are communicating but at slower rate than 20 Mbps. The flash rate indicates the
throughput rate. Reposition the modules to achieve the best throughput rate.
Note: If a dish is used with the system, assemble the dish and mount the WEM in the
dish as described in the dish installation instructions. Position the dish with WEM and
connect the CAT5 cable as described above.
Trouble Shooting: If the signal level indicator is not fully lit, video does not appear on
the screen or you are having other operational difficulties, please visit the trouble
shooting section on page 14 of the operations manual or contact MicroTek toll free at
[phone] for technical assistance.
