Connecting to the Network

Figure 13 shows the connection from the network (802.11 distribution system) to the controller. The
connection uses 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet (RJ-45 physical port, UTP, Category-5 or higher cable).
Always use Category-5, Category-5e, Category-6, or Category-7 Ethernet cables to connect the office
network equipment to the controller.
