WEM INSTALLATION & OPERATION (cont’d)

E. CONNECT WEM

Connect the cable to the WEM. Slide the cable jacket up to the base of the connector. Slide the weatherproof connector over the cable jacket and screw it into the WEM and tighten. Tighten the clamping nut until the CAT5 cable is sealed in the connector. Check the WEM positioning and make sure the Power and Link Activity LEDs are on. The Link Activity indicator, amber LED, will only illuminate if an Ethernet source device is connected and powered up, and the red LED will verify power is being sent over the Ethernet cable. See drawing B-2 (page 7).

F. ESTABLISH LINK

Follow above steps, A through E, for both ends of the link to be established. After both ends have been installed and powered up, the green Signal Level LED will illuminate. A solid green LED indicates the WEMs are communicating at a maximum throughput standard rate of up to 20 Mbps. If the green LED is flashing, the WEMs are communicating at a level less than 20 Mbps. If this occurs, realign the WEMs to achieve the maximum throughput.

NOTE: Maximum throughput requires a line-of-sight transmission path between the WEMs and no 5 GHz interference. In some cases, depending on the physical and RF environment, a useable throughput rate may not be possible. Contact MicroTek for more information – 888-366-4276 or info@microtekelectronics.com.

ADVANCED OPERATION

WEB BROWSER INTERFACE

Each WEM has a web browser interface to access the advanced setup functions. If changing advanced settings, be sure to connect and power the WEMs individually. To access this interface, connect the WEM to the Ethernet port on a computer, launch the web browser and type in the default IP address. The configuration of the computer used to access the WEM may need to be changed depending on its IP settings. The IP address of the computer should be changed to 192.168.1.xxx. The xxx setting can be any address 2 – 254 excluding 200 and 201 or any other IP address(s) you wish to use for a WEM (or Encoder/Decoder solution if applicable). The Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0. If you have any questions or concerns about changing these settings, please contact your network administrator. The default user name for each WEM is admin and the password is admin.

WARNING: IF YOU CHANGE THE USER NAME AND/OR PASSWORD, YOU WILL NEED TO KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR CHANGES IN A SAFE PLACE. IF THE USER NAME AND/OR PASSWORD IS FORGOTTEN OR MISPLACED, THE WEM MUST BE RETURNED TO MICROTEK TO BE RESET.

A. POINT-TO-POINT SYSTEMS

A point-to-point system consists of a Host AP WEM and a Client SU WEM. The default IP address for the Host AP WEM is 192.168.1.200. The default IP address for each Client SU WEM is 192.168.1.201. To access the either WEM unit, type in the default IP address of the unit you wish to connect to.

B. MULTI-CONNECT SYSTEMS

The default IP addresses for each Host AP WEM is 192.168.1.200. To access the Host AP WEM, type in the default IP address 192.168.1.200. The default IP address for each Client SU WEM is 192.168.1.201. If more than one Client SU WEM will be connected to a Host AP WEM, the IP address of each additional Client SU WEM will need to be changed in the
