5. Modify the radio antenna type as follows:
   • If attaching quad port antennas, configure all four RF ports with the same antenna type.
   • If attaching triple port antennas, configure ports 1, 2, and 3 with the same antenna type and configure port 4 (non-active port) to No Antenna.
   • If attaching dual port antennas, configure ports 1 and 2 with the same antenna type and configure ports 3 and 4 (non-active ports) to No Antenna.
   • If attaching single port antennas, configure port 1 to the selected antenna type and configure ports 2-4 (non-active ports) to No Antenna.
6. Modify Radio Attenuation as follows:
   • Add any attenuation (dBm non-negative) due to cable loss or attenuator added to the line between AP port and the antenna.
   • Same attenuator loss is assumed and is required for all 4 ports of the radio except when one or more ports is not connected to the antenna and is properly terminated as describe in the next step.
   • The professional installer is responsible for accurately configuring port attenuation. Never configure port attenuation higher than the actual attenuation between the AP port and the antenna.
7. Install a terminator (rf 50 Ohm) on all ports where an antenna is not connected.
