wireless operation. To do this, follow these steps:

For Devices Running HiveManager:

1. Power on the AP

 

and allow it to find and connect to HiveManager. Once the AP

 

is

 

connected, it

appears in the table of unconfigured devices on the 

Monitor > Devices 

page and is categorized as

New under the Management Status table header.

2. Select the check box for the AP, and then choose 

Update > Advanced >

 

Update Country

.

3. On the

 page, choose the appropriate country code from the drop-down
