meet the following minimum specifications: Rated output of 42.5 to 57 Vdc,
min. 1.11A, Tma of 50°C minimum, altitude of 3048m minimum.

When installing the AP in an environment where the ambient temperature is in
the range of 104°and 122°F (>40° and 50°C), the access point configuration
changes from 4x4 on the 5-GHz radios, and the uplink Ethernet will downgrade
to 1 GbE. However, the USB port remains enabled.
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.
