NOTE: Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduits. Conduits must be UL approved for low and high
voltage. Refer to the NEC for additional wiring requirements.
Category 5 cabling is the minimum performance category recommended.
Wiring shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70), local codes and authorities having jurisdiction.
Always provide power from a dedicated source. Plug provided transformer into an outlet wired to its own 10 Amp minimum circuit
breaker. This will prevent two problems:
• Other equipment cannot introduce spikes, noise, surges or dips into the power circuit that will affect the system.
• The system’s operation will not be affected if any other equipment develops a short circuit across the power line.
* CAT 5/6 NETWORK CABLE NOTES:
• For outdoor distances exceeding 140 feet (42.7 m), a UL497 compliant primary surge protector MUST be installed at
the CAPXL / CAPXLV.
• Distances exceeding 328 feet (100 m) may be accommodated with additional hardware (available through third-party sources).

Internet Requirements
When selecting a router, use the information below to ensure compatibility.
MODEL: CAPXL / CAPXLV – Connected Access Portal, High Capacity
CAPXL/CAPXLV can be connected to a router via a wired connection or Wi-Fi. LiftMaster recommends an Internet speed of 25Mbps
(Mbits per second) download, 10Mbps upload for best video performance (minimum 10Mbps download speed, 5Mbps upload speed for
each CAPXL supporting video camera feeds).
NOTE: These upload/download speeds should be met when considering usage of other devices on the network like cameras and computers.
PRE-INSTALL NETWORKINSTALL ACCESS CONTROLINTRODUCTION
CAPXL / CAPXLV WI-FI SECURITY COMPATIBILITY
COMPATIBLE NOT COMPATIBLE
• WPA2-PSK (AES) (Recommended)
• WPA2-PSK (TKIP) (Recommended)
• WPA2 Personal (Recommended)
• WPA-PSK (AES)
• WPA-PSK (TKIP)
• WPA2 Enterprise
• WEP
• Open (No password or encryption)
ADDITIONAL COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS:
• Don’t use Wi-Fi extender devices. These may introduce latency in the connection leading to choppy or loss of reliable video transmission.
• 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 / CAPXLV 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 / CAPXLV display.
• Wi-Fi networks requiring secondary authentication are not supported (E.g. Hotels and airport Wi-Fi).
• When checking signal strength in CAPXL / CAPXLV admin mode, we recommend at least two bars two bars, as shown on the CAPXL screen.
• 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 / CAPXLV antenna higher up or to a location resulting in two or more bars.
CAPXL / CAPXLV IS COMPATIBLE WITH ROUTERS USING THE FOLLOWING Wi-Fi COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS:
• 802.11a
• 802.11b
• 802.11g
• 802.11n
