About this task
A T5 controller uses the operating system to manage its connected radio devices, as
opposed to the WiNG operating used by NX service platforms. However, a T5
controller, once enabled as a supported external device, can provide data to WiNG to
assist in a T5‘s management within a WiNG supported subnet populated by both types
of devices. The Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) are the T5
controller managed radio devices using the operating system. The tabs within the
Radios section support these T5 managed CPE radio devices. These CPEs use a
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) as their high speed Internet access
mechanism using the CPE‘s physical wallplate connection and phone jack.
To view CPE DSL status:
