ACCESS CONTROL OPTION 1 Wired Connection The Local Area Network (LAN) port is a 10/100 Ethernet interface with an RJ45 jack for connecting the CAPXM to a hub, switch, or router in order for it to gain connectivity to the Internet. Use a straight, (i.e., non-crossover) Cat5e, or Cat6 cable to connect to a local hub, switch or router. This type of cable is referred to as an Ethernet cable in this manual. 1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the hub, switch, or router to the LAN port on the Control Board. When connected properly, the LAN on Control Board green and amber LED on the Ethernet port of the control board will light/flicker (the control board is located on the back of the CAPXM Admin display). If the green LED is not lit, check the connections on the CAPXM and the Ethernet hub. 2.

Additional compatibility considerations: Router/Switch Modem -30 to -67 dBm GOOD • When checking signal strength in CAPXM admin mode, we recommend at least two bars. -30 to -67 -66 to -85 • If two bars are not available, relocate the router, the antenna or use accessory WFAEXT (Wi-Fi® Antenna ExtensionGdOBOmKD it - dBm 15')POtSoSIBLE move the CAPXM antenna higher up or to a location resulting in two or more bars. • If using a Wi-Fi® signal strength tool or app, a continuous Wi-Fi® signal strength connection of at least -65 dBm (numbers closer to zero are stronger strength) at the CAPXM must be guaranteed to ensure an acceptable connection to the local network. -30 to -67 dBm GOOD -66 to -85 dBm POSSIBLE ≥ -86 dBm POOR • Hidden network SSIDs are not supported. The network must be selectable from the CAPXM display. • Wi-Fi® networks requiring secondary authentication are not supported (E.g. Hotels and airport Wi-Fi®). -66 to -85 ≥ -86 dBm dBm POSSIBLE POOR 2 Validate Setup ≥ -86 dBm POOR On the display, select each tab in Admin Mode to validate setup (network, inputs, outputs, etc.). Once you have validated the setup, exit Admin Mode. 16
