Add Wiring Closets

A wiring closet is a container for switches. You need to add at least one wiring closet location to the floor plan. Also
consider if you are installing direct APs. Direct APs (access points directly connected to the WSS) should be connected
to the WSS with UTP Cat 5 cabling. The distance between the AP and the WSS in the wiring closet can not exceed 100
meters (330 feet).
