Field Description
Operating Mode Infrastructure: Select
Infrastructure
to enable the device to transmit and receive data with an AP.
Infrastructure is the device default mode.
Ad Hoc: Select
Ad Hoc

communicate peer-to-peer without APs using a shared ESSID. If Ad-Hoc mode was selected,

Country Country: is used to determine 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:
When the device is only to be used in a single country, set every profile country to
Allow Any
Country
. In the
Options
>
Regulatory
dialog box (see Figure 2-99 on page 2-77 ) , set the country to
the specific country the device is to be used in, and deselect (uncheck) the Enable 802.11d
option. This is the most common and the efficient configuration. It eliminates the initialization
overhead associated with acquiring a country via 802.11d.
Multiple Country Use:
When the device may be used in more than one country, select (check) the Enable 802.11d
option in the
Regulatory Options
dialog box (see Figure 2-99 on page 2-77 ) . This eliminates the
need for reprogramming the country (in
Options
>
Regulatory
) each time a new country is entered.
However, this only works if the infrastructure (i.e. APs) support 802.11d (some infrastructures do
not support 802.11d, including some Cisco APs). When the Enable 802.11d option is selected,
the
Options
>
Regulatory
>
Country
setting is not used. For a single profile that can be used in
multiple countries, with infrastructure that supports 802.11d (including Symbol 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 that can be used 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, the
Options
>
Regulatory
>
Country
setting must always be set to the country
the device is currently in. This configuration option is the most efficient and may be chosen for
use with any infrastructure. However, the
Options

Regulatory

Country
setting must be manually
changed when a new country is entered.
