Setting the Country Code

– Units sold in the United States are configured by default to use only radio channels 1-11 in 802.11b or 802.11g mode as defined by

FCC regulations. Units sold in other countries are configured by default without a country code (i.e., 99). You must use the CLI to set the country code. Setting the country code restricts operation of the access point to the radio channels and transmit power levels permitted for wireless networks in the specified country.

Type “exit” to leave configuration mode. Then type “country ?” to display the list of countries. Select the code for your country, and enter the country command again, following by your country code (e.g., tw for Taiwan).

Enterprise AP#

Note: Command examples shown later in this manual abbreviate the console prompt to

“AP” for simplicity.

Setup. The following page will display.

The information in this chapter is organized to reflect the structure of the web screens for easy reference. However, it is recommended that you configure a user name and password as the first step under advanced configuration to control

management access to this device (page 6-28).
