Wireless LAN Requirements
Note: A dedicated internet connection is recommended. You will need to allow traffic outbound
without any filtering or blocking on your internet connection.
Access Points
- Life Fitness recommends a maximum ratio of 20 units per wireless access point. Exceeding this ratio introduces the potential of dropped workouts and connection issues.
- The SL Console requires a connection to a wireless network with SSID of LFwireless. If you purchase your access point from Life Fitness (ACCESS-POINT-01), the access point will by default have this SSID installed. Contact Life Fitness Customer Service at 1.800.351.3737 or your Life Fitness representative before setting up this network to receive the required password for this SSID.
- When connecting cardio products to wireless access points, see Bandwidth Requirements for the recommended number of units and bandwidth.
- Commercial grade access points that meet the following minimum requirements:
- Wireless-N Access Point (802.11n) with 2x2 MIMO
- Band: 2.4 / 5 GHz Protocol: IEEE 802.11 n
- Security: WPA2-PSK
- Mounting: wall or ceiling mountable (e.g. Meraki MR32 or Rukus R500)
Cabling Requirements
- CAT 5e or CAT 6 cabling can be used to connect your wireless access points to your wired network. Life Fitness recommends using CAT 6 cable for this purpose.
