determines if the profile is valid for the country of operation. The profile country
must match the country in the options page or it must match the acquired country if
802.11d is enabled.
Single Country Use:
If using the device in a single country, set every profile country to
Allow Any Country
. In
the
Options
>
Regulatory
dialog box (see Figure B-41 on page B-46 ) , select the specific
country in which the device is used, and deselect the
Enable 802.11d
option. This
common and efficient configuration eliminates the initialization overhead associated with
acquiring a country via 802.11d.
Multiple Country Use:
If using the device in more than one country, select
Enable 802.11d
in the
Options
>
Regulatory
dialog box (see Figure B-41 on page B-46 ) . This eliminates the need for
reprogramming the country (in
Options

) each time you enter a new country.
However, this only works if the infrastructure (i.e., APs) supports 802.11d (older firmware
versions on wireless infrastructures do not support 802.11d). When you select the
Enable 802.11d option, the
Options
>
Regulatory
>
Country
setting is not used for
infrastructure WLANs. 802.11d feature is only valid for Infrastructure WLANs. Ad-hoc
WLANs use the country options and must match the profile.
For a single profile to use in multiple countries, with infrastructure that supports 802.11d
(including Motorola infrastructure), set the Profile Country to
Allow Any Country
. Under
Options
>
Regulatory
, select
Enable 802.11d
. The
Options

Regulatory
>
Country
setting
is not used.
For a single profile to use in multiple countries, but with infrastructure that does not
support 802.11d, set the profile country to
Allow Any Country
, and de-select (uncheck)
Enable 802.11d
. In this case, always set the
Options
>
Regulatory
>
Country
setting to the
country the device is currently in. You can use this efficient configuration option with any
infrastructure. However, you must manually change the
Options

Regulatory
>
Country
setting when entering a new country.
Note that using a single profile in multiple countries implies that there is a common
ESSID to connect to in each country. This is less likely than having unique ESSIDs in
each country, which requires unique profiles for each country.
For additional efficiency when using multiple profiles to use in multiple countries, set the
country setting for each profile to a specific country. If the current country (found via
802.11d or set by
Options
>
Regulatory
>
Country
when 802.11d is disabled) does not
match the country set in a given profile, that profile is disabled. This can speed profile
roaming. For example, if you create and configure two profiles for Japan, and two more
for USA, then when in Japan only the first two profiles are active, and when in USA only
the last two are active. If you configure them all for
Allow Any Country
, all four are always
active, making profile roaming less efficient.
