M INI L INK W IRELESS E THERNET S YSTEM (WES) The MiniLink WES is a plug and play CAT5/Etherne t cable replacement device. It operates in the 5.8 GHz U-NII bands on 5 non-overlapping channels .
POWER INJECTION MODULE (PIM) Note: The Power Injector Modules are not weatherpr oof units and must be protected from moisture. PIM DESCRIPTION A. TOP VIEW 1. ETHERNET IN – Connect to Ethernet device 2. POWER IN – 12-20 VDC Center Positive 3. ETHERNET OUT – Connect to Host/Client 2 3 1 B.
WES CONNECTION DIAGRAMS The following wiring schemes represent the configurations that have been tested and verified by MicroTek Electronics bas ed on typical Ethernet wiri ng solutions. Other wiri ng configurat ions cou ld be possibl e based on the application.
WEM INSTALLATION & OPERATION (cont’d) B. MOUNT DIRECTIONAL HOST/CLIENT Mount the Host/Client with the included wall/pole mount bracket and hardware. Connect the black mounting assembly with adjustment swivel to mounting L-shaped bracket with the ¼ - 20 button head screw.
WEM INSTALLATION & OPERATION (cont’d) E. CONNECT HOST/CLIENT Connect the cable to the Host/Client. Slide the cable jacket up to the base of the connector. Slide the weatherproof connector over the cable jacket and screw it into the Host/Client and tighten.
B. MULTI-CONNECT SYSTEMS (cont’d) If you ordered a complete system with multiple Client SUs, they have been pr e-configured with IP addresses as follows: ML WES Modules ML WES Serial Number ML WES IP Address Host AP, Client SU or Point to Point Channel Unit 1 05618* 192.
WEB PAGES (cont’d) B. STATUS – DEVICE STATUS 1. POINT-TO-POINT HOST AP The Device Status page provides the details of how the Single-Point Host is configured. The Access Point Name can be changed on the “A dmin” page under the ADVANCED tab but the SSID cannot change.
B. STATUS – DEVICE STATUS (cont’d) 2. MULTI-CONNECT HOST AP The Device Status page provides the details of how the Multipoint Host is configured. 3.
WEB PAGES (cont’d) C. STATUS – HOST/CLIENT ASSOCIATION LISTS 1. POINT-TO-POINT AND MULTI-CONNECT HO ST The Client List page of the Host AP shows the MAC address( s) of the paired or grouped Client SU(s) that are connected to the Host AP. For Point-to-Point systems, one MAC address will be shown.
WEB PAGES (cont’d) D. STATUS – STATISTICS The Statistics page will indicate the number of transmitted and received data packets versus the number of dropped packets.
WEB PAGES (cont’d) E. BASIC - WIRELESS The wireless page is used for enabling S uper mode. The Super mode combines adjacent channels to provide up to 50+ M bps of throughput. The channels available in Super mode are: 4 and 6 only. If another channel is selected, Supe r mode will not be enabled.
F. BASIC – ETHERNET 1. NETWORK SETTINGS The Network Sett ings page is used for changing the IP Address, Subnet Mask and or Default Gateway of the Host or Client.
WEB PAGES (cont’d) G. ADVANCED – ADMINISTRATION This section of the Advanced tab is used for changing the password and other adm inistration services for the Host or Client. H. ADVANCED – SYSTEM To reboot the system and/or bring it to its defau lt settings, visit the system page of the Advanced tab.

T ROUBLE S HOOTING PROBLEM SUGGESTION No Link Activity 1. No power from connected device–make sure the connected Ethernet/IP device is powered. 2. Check all cables and connectors. If the tester shows that all wires are making contact, check the entire length of cable for kinks, cuts, tears or any other cable hindrances.
FA Q Q. Which unit is the transmitter and which is the receiver? A. WES systems are bi-directional so it is not critical which of the units is mounted at the receive location (and vice-versa). Typically, however, the ‘H ost’ is located at the receive end and the ‘Client’ is at the transmit location.
