A5200 Bottom Cover The A5200 Sensor comes with four removable rubber pads on its bottom cover (shown in Figure 2-5). They help prevent the Sensor from skidding when deployed on a flat (horizontal) surface without using the A5231 Mounting Bracket.
A5200 Sensor User Guide.book Page 11 Thursday, January 15, 2009 2:00 PM Chapter 2: Getting Started 11 Applying Tamper-Evident Seals The tamper-evident seals are intended to prevent tampering of the AirMagnet SmartEdge Sensors and help network administrators to easily identify traces of tampering should it have occurred. To effectively use the tamper-evident seals, care must be taken to ensure that the seals are applied properly.
A5200 Sensor User Guide.book Page 12 Thursday, January 15, 2009 2:00 PM 12 Chapter 2: Getting Started Seal 2 Seal 1 Figure 2-6:Applying tamper-evident seals Important Make sure that the seals are applied approximately evenly (50%-50%) to the bottom and the cover of the module, as only one part of the seal needs to be removed to defeat the seal. 4) Firmly press the seal ends to cover the seam between the bottom and the cover of the module.
