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.
