to the monitoring platform through a LAN.
Ethernet cable specifications:
Cable type – a shielded Ethernet cable (Cat5/5E STP) may be used
Maximum distance between the SMI and the router – 100 m/ 330 ft.

If using a cable longer than 10 m / 33 ft in areas where there is
a risk of induced voltage surges by lightning, it is recommend
to use external surge protection devices.
