AP-5131 Antenna Connections
This guide describes how 2.4 and 5 GHz antennas are physically connected to an AP-5131 model access
point. Central in this discussion are descriptions of the single and dual-band antennas supported, their
supported connector models and how lightning arrestors are supported for specific antenna and connector
combinations.
