The CAPXL can connect to the Internet with a wired connection or with Wi-Fi®(wireless).
Make sure you are in the Admin Mode before you connect to the Internet. If you are not
in Admin Mode, flip dipswitch #1 to the ON position on the Power/Internet board, press
the Network tab on the CAPXL display, and press the “Change Network Settings” button.
Follow the instructions according to your application.

OPTION 1 Wired Connection
The Local Area Network (LAN) port is a 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface with an RJ45 jack for connecting the CAPXL to a hub, switch, or router
in order for it to gain connectivity to the Internet. Use a straight, (i.e., non-crossover) Cat5, 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. Open the Ferrite Core.
2. Loop the Input Ethernet cable around itself one time, creating a loop large enough to fit over
the length of the Ferrite Core. Locate the cable loop near the intended electrical knock-out.
3. Place looped section of Input Ethernet cable over one side of the
open Ferrite Core.
4. Close the Ferrite Core securely and plug the Input Ethernet cable
into the Power/Internet board.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable from the hub, switch, or router to
the LAN port on the Power/Internet Board. When connected
properly, the 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 CAPXL display). If the green LED is not lit, check the
connections on the CAPXL and the Ethernet hub.
6. On the display, select Wired Network if dynamic configuration
(DHCP) is desired or select Manual Setup for a static IP address.
OPTION 2 Connect through Wi-Fi®(Wireless)
1. On the display select Wi-Fi®Network.
2. Select the network the CAPXL will use.
3. Enter the password for the network.
4. Select Login.
Additional compatibility considerations:
• When checking signal strength in CAPXL admin mode, we recommend at least two bars.
• If two bars are not available, relocate the router, the antenna or use accessory WFAEXT (Wi-Fi®Antenna Extension Kit – 15’) to
move the CAPXL 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 CAPXL must be guaranteed to ensure an acceptable connection to the local network.
• Hidden network SSID’s are not supported. The network must be selectable from the CAPXL display.
• Wi-Fi®networks requiring secondary authentication are not supported (E.g. Hotels and airport Wi-Fi®).
