I recently put an Ion in a local college and during training indicated to the owner that he could get the iRFR ap to connect, but that to do so he should request a dedicated wireless router for the lighting network. Of course, IT came back with "why do you need a dedicated router when we've got dozens of WAPs in that building?" The Ion is running only DMX outputs (for now) and I noted on http://www.etcconnect.com/Community/wikis/products/irfr-how-to-setup-your-wireless-network.aspx the "do not allow your lighting network to be directly connected to the internet", but not being an IT/networks guru...
Am I wrong and there isn't any problem with having them use the same wireless router as other network devices - assuming they can within the 10.100 ETC address scheme? If I'm not wrong, is there a doc out there that can explain, in IT, why its a bad idea to put the lighting network in contact with either the LAN and/or the internet?
