When installing the AP in an environment where the ambient temperature is in

tri-radio (2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, 6-GHz).
Note
• Console access using the console port
We recommend that you use a console cable that is one meter or less in length.
The AP may face issues while booting if you use an unterminated console cable
(not plugged into any device or terminal) or a console cable that is more than one
meter in length.
Note
We recommend that you make a site map showing access point locations so that you can record the device
MAC addresses from each location and return them to the person who is planning or managing your wireless
network.
