The term "lighting network" refers to the infrastructure that connects Ethernet-capable Crestron devices and allows for communication between them.

24 -While either T568A or T568B termination pin-out are acceptable as long as they are used consistently, it is recommended to use the T568B pin-out for all terminations. By keeping to one standard, it is easier to stay consistent and prevent errors where the two sides of a single cable are not terminated to the same standard.

28 28  When making RJ-45 terminations, take care that the wires are in the correct order and pushed all the way to the end of the connector. A crimping tool with sharp blades that have not been dulled with use also helps in making good terminations.
