The WAPOM and WSUOM are not weatherproof when mounted outdoors without an 
additional SWE-O (or other NEMA rated enclosure) housing. See SWE-O mounting 
instructions for proper installation of the WAPOM/WSUOM in the outdoor housing.

PoE NOTIFICATION 
The WEMs are mid-span compliant and must be powered using the supplied 
power injection module. If an 802.3af compliant PoE switch is used, connect to 
a non-PoE port of the switch only.

WES LED PATTERNS 
 
For all units, the red power LED will either be active to show that it is powered up or off 
to indicate no power. The link LED (Link Activity), or the amber LED, will flash rapidly 
when there is activity across the wireless connection. The green LED, or Signal Level, 
will illuminate upon connection. There are a few different regular Signal Level LED 
responses determined by the type of product in use: 
POINT TO POINT HOST LED ACTIVITY (WES-2500 & WES-2-4 Hosts) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If the green LED flashes at any rate it is indicating a less than max signal connection. 
 
MULTIPOINT HOST LED ACTIVITY (WAP / WAPOM) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CLIENT LED ACTIVITY (All Clients from all part numbers excluding WAP/WAPOM) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Client LED status will remain the same regardless of the type of host to which it 
is connected. The Signal Level LED should remain solid to indicate a max signal 
alignment. If the green LED flashes at any rate it is indicating a less than max signal 
connection. A flashing green LED can be corrected by further alignment of the Client 
to its Host.

FAQ: How can I tell the difference between an omni-directional and 
directional WEM? 
The difference in appearance between an omni-directional WEM (WAPOM and 
WSUOM part numbers)and a standard directional WEM (WES-2500, WES-2-4, WAP, 
WSU, WSUP) is the antenna dome cover. The omni antenna has a small dipole 
under the dome cover and is about a 0.25 (7mm) inch taller than the directional 
antenna dome cover.
