DO NOT CONNECT ANY DEVICE OTHER THAN THE EL-500 TO THE PORT
LABELED “CPE” ON THE PoE INJECTOR. NETWORK EQUIPMENT THAT
DOES NOT SUPPORT PoE CAN BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED BY
CONNECTING TO A PoE SOURCE. NOTE THAT MOST ETHERNET
INTERFACES ON PERSONAL COMPUTERS (PCs), LAPTOP/NOTEBOOK
COMPUTERS, AND OTHER NETWORK EQUIPMENT (E.G. ETHERNET
SWITCHES AND ROUTERS) DO NOT SUPPORT PoE.
1.3.2 Antenna
The EL-500 AP radio port is an N-type RF connector that can interface with a wide range of
Tranzeo antennas. After purchasing the desired 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz antenna (for the EL-500HG
or EL-500HA models respectively), attach the antenna to the access point (AP) radio port on
the EL-500. The antenna must be chosen such that its gain combined with the output power of
the radio complies with maximum radiation power regulatory requirements in the area the EL-
500 is used.
The following is a list of supported accessory antennas sold with the EL-500 family, as shown
in Table 2.

TR-24H-90-17 Horizontal Sector, 2.4 Ghz, 90 degree, 17 dBi
TR-PAN24-15 Panel, 2.4 Ghz, 15 dBi
TR-HTQ-5.8-12 Vertical Omni, 5.8 Ghz, 12 dBi
TR-58V-60-17 Vertical Sector, 5.8 Ghz, 60 degree, 17 dBi
TR-5.8-32Db-Ant Parabolic dish, 5.8 Ghz, 32 dBi
TR-5X-Ant-24 Panel, 5.8 Ghz, 24 dBi

1.4 Deployment Considerations
The EL-500’s radio operates in either the 2.4 GHz or the 5.8 GHz ISM band, depending on the
model. It is possible that there will be other devices operating in these bands that will interfere
with the EL-500’s radio. Interference from adjacent EL-500s can also degrade performance if
the EL-500s are not configured properly.
