4.4.2
Setting DFS and Regulatory Parameters
Setting the Region Code
All modules display a Region Code pop-up on the :Configuration => General” page, as shown in
Figure 6.
On new modules from the factory, or after resetting to factory defaults, the operator should set
this Region Code consistent with their country or region. For countries or regions not listed in the
Region Code pop-up, set the Region Code consistent with your country’s regulatory
requirements. (For example, several countries in South America follow the same DFS regulations
as Brazil, so in those countries the Region Code should be set to “Brazil”.)
IMPORTANT!
Operators under regulatory requirements for DFS must ensure the new
Canopy parameter “Region Code” is set correctly. This applies to initial
configuration, after a module is reset to factory defaults, or after a
module is upgraded.
An AP or BHM will not transmit if the Region Code is configured to “None”.
IMPORTANT!
On APs or BHMs received from the factory, with Region Code set to
“None”, the operator must set the Region Code before the module will
transmit. The same is true of APs and BHMS which have been reset to
factory defaults.
