Connecting an APX 1000 unit to a LAN
All APX 1000 units have an Ethernet port on the shelf controller. This Ethernet port is
designed for out-of-band management over the network and is not intended to support heavy
traffic loads. For best results, route normal user traffic through one or more of the ports on the
egress Ethernet card.
