ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Pelco offers a planar antenna with integrated mount (EW-ANTP-2-9 or EW-ANTP-5-8) for use with the EW5001. These are the only antennas that
can be mounted directly to the EW5001. Any other antenna must be mounted separately.
Before installing either an integrated antenna or a separate antenna, review the following considerations:
• Make sure the elevation (height) and azimuth (horizontal angle) match at both wireless antenna sites. The units cannot connect unless the
antennas are pointing at each other. Antenna misalignment causes the most problems for wireless installations.
• To limit signal loss, use the shortest cable possible. For every 3 ft (0.91 m) of length, antenna cables lose about 1.0 dB at 5.8 GHz or about
0.7 dB at 2.4 GHz.
If you are using an integrated antenna, you will mount it to the EW5001 as part of the installation procedure (refer to Unit Installation on
page 19).
If you are using a separate antenna, install it to the mount site. Refer to the Endura Wireless Antenna Installation manual (C2698M).
BENCH SETUP (OPTIONAL)
The EW5001 is designed for easy installation and configuration. By default, it is configured as an access point to quickly connect wireless video
encoders to an Endura network. Most default settings are automatically configured, including network IP addresses, dynamic host configuration
protocol (DHCP) server, encryption, wireless channels, and connection speed. In some cases, it may be necessary to configure the unit on a
workbench before installing it at its location.
You will need the following items:
• Power source: Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) device or bench power cable (EW-BPS-6)
• Network connection or DHCP hub
• Service cable (EW-SC-6) for the EW5001 (optional)
