  2. Place a terminator cap on any antenna connectors that will not be used.
  3. When installing the AP, all antennas must be positioned vertically. If the AP is vertical, do not install the AP with the glands pointing upward. If the AP is horizontal, the recommended installation is with the glands located be closest to the ground. In both cases, we recommend that the antennas be extended vertically.
