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

IRELESS ETHERNET MODULE SETUP
1. Remove the Host and Client from the box, select frequency via the rotary switch at the side of
the unit. (Factory set to channel 0 unless otherwise noted) The channels of each set of
Host/Clients must be matched for the radios to communicate with each other. For multi-
connect devices, each Client must be set to the same channel as the Host that it will be
connected to. If connecting more than one Client to a Host, please see the advanced
operation section of this manual for setup.
2. Mount the Client at the remote location. Point the Client as accurately as possible to the point
where Host will be mounted.
3. Remove the Power Injection Modules (PIMs) from the box and determine where they will be
located for each Host/Client. Total distance between a Host/Client and connected Ethernet
device cannot exceed 300 feet (100m). The PIMs can be located anywhere along the 300 feet
of CAT5 cable. Connect a standard CAT5 straight through patch cable to the “Ethernet Out”
port on each PIM to its corresponding Host/Client. “Ethernet In” port on each PIM should be
connected to its respective Ethernet device using a standard CAT5 straight through patch
cable. A crossover cable may be needed depending on your Ethernet device.
4. 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, reposition the
modules to achieve max signal strength. For multi-connect applications, each Client will
show a solid green light when connected to a Multipoint Host. A flashing green LED on the
Multipoint Host Access Point 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 Client/Host in the dish as described in
the dish installation instructions. Then position the dish 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 21 of the operations manual or contact MicroTek toll free at (888) 366-4276
for technical assistance.
