MicroTek Electronics, Inc. recommends that all equipment be bench tested
before being installed onsite. This test will ensure the equipment is
functioning properly.

1. Remove the WEMs from box, select frequency via the rotary switch at the side of the unit.
(Factory set to channel 1 – channels 0, 1 & 2 are the same frequency) The channels of each
set of WEMs must be matched for the WEMs to communicate with each other. For multi-
connect devices, each Client SU WEM must be set to the same channel as the Host AP WEM
it will be connected to. If connecting more than one Client SU WEM to a Host AP WEM,
please see the advanced operation section of this manual for setup.
2. Mount the first WEM at the desired location.
3. Point the WEM as accurately as possible to the point where the second matched WEM or
Host AP 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 (100 meters). 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 to its corresponding WEM. The “Ethernet In” port on each PIM should be
connected to its respective Ethernet device using a standard CAT5 straight through cable. A
crossover cable may be needed depending on your 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. Reposition the modules to achieve max
signal strength. For multi-connect applications, the Each Client WEM will show a solid
green light when connected to a Host AP WEM. A flashing green LED on the “Multi-point
Host AP” will indicate the number of Client Subscriber Units to which it is connected.
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 20 of the operations manual or contact MicroTek toll free at (888) 366-4276
for technical assistance.
