than 0.158 mm (.0625 in.) —through the tie post (above the AP-5131’s console connector)
and secure the loop.
2. If required, install and attach a security cable to the AP-5131 lock port.
3. Attach the radio antennae to their correct connectors.
NOTE If the AP-5131 is utilizing remote management antennae, a wire cover
can be used to provide a clean finished look to the installation. Contact
