How do I wrap cables around AT-ATs with the Snowspeeder?

I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how the Snowspeeder mechanics work — specifically cabling AT-ATs — because they're always quickly shot down by TIE Fighters.
On PC, what do you have to do (both in-game and keypresses) to cable an AT-AT? Do you need to hold or press the button(s)? And is this possible to do right when you start flying the Snowspeeder or do you have to wait for something?
