2 Installation

This chapter describes how to install the ENH500.

Only experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and

safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install the ENH500.

2.1 Pre-installation Guidelines

Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following guidelines:

-The ENH500 should be mounted on a 1"- 4" pole. Its location should enable easy access to the unit and its connectors for installation and testing.

-The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality.

-The antenna should be installed to provide a direct or near line of sight link with the base station antenna. The antenna should be aligned to face the general direction of the base station.

2.2 Installing the ENH500

To install the ENH500, use the following procedure to mount the device on a pole and refer to the figure below.

1.The bottom of the ENH500 is a removable cover. Grab the cover and push down slightly while pulling it backward to remove the cover.

2.Insert a standard Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port labeled MAIN LAN.

3.Slide the cover back to seal the bottom of the ENH500.

4.Remove the power cord and PoE injector from the box and plug the power cord into the DC port of the PoE injector.

Only use the power adapter supplied with the ENH500. Using a different power adapter might damage the ENH500.

5.Plug the other side of the Ethernet cable in Step 3 into the PoE port of the PoE injector. When you finish Step 5, the installation will resemble the following picture.
