Setting the Country Code
This section details the process of setting the country code in both the Access
Point 530 WW unit (J8987A), which has no preset country code, and the Access
Point 530 NA unit (J8986A), which has the country code preset to the U.S. The
country code is an identifier defined for a nation by ISO. For each nation, ISO
Standard 3166 defines a unique two-character alphabetic code. Among the
many uses of these codes, the two-character codes are used as top-level
domain names.
You must set the correct country code for the country in which you operate
the access point, so that it uses the correct authorized radio channels for
wireless network devices. You can use the CLI to set the country code.
You must set the country code before configuring other radio settings. The
country code setting affects the radio channels that are available.
N o t e
The country code is preset to “US” in the Access Point 530 NA unit and can be
changed from the U.S. to only the Canada, Mexico, or Taiwan country code.
When it is set to Canada, Mexico, or Taiwan and you want to reset it to the
U.S., you must reset the unit back to its factory defaults.
The radios are disabled if the country code is not set. When the country code
is set, the radios can be enabled.
When you reset the unit to is factory defaults, the Access Point 530 WW unit
requires that you set its country code. The Access Point 530 NA is set to “US.”
