Table 14
shows the details of DFS operation and channels available for each Region Code,
including whether DFS is active on the AP/BHM, SM/BHS, which DFS regulation apply, and any
channel restrictions. DFS does not apply to 4.9 GHz.

1. In all cases set the Region Code to the region you are in and the equipment will
pr
ovide DFS consistent with that region’s regulations.
For countries or regions
not listed, use a Region Code that provides DFS functionality and channels
consistent with your country’s regulatory requirements.
2. In some countries and regions, 5600 MHz to 5650
MHz is “notched” out to meet
requirements to not transmit in weather radar frequencies.
3. FCC/IC indicates compliance with FCC Report and Order 03-287 and Industry
Canada requirements.
4. ETSI DFS indicates compliance with ETSI EN 301 893 v1.4.1
5. ETSI DFS indicates compliance with ETSI EN 302 502 v1.2.1
After an AP or BHM with DFS boots it performs a channel availability check on its main carrier
frequency for 1 minute, monitoring for the radar signature without transmitting. If no radar
signature is detected during this minute, the module then proceeds to normal beacon transmit
mode. If it does detect a radar signature, the frequency is marked for a 30 minute non-occupancy
period, and the module moves to its 1
st
alternate carrier frequency. The AP/BHM continues this
behavior through its 2nd alternate frequency if needed and then waits until the first frequency
ends the 30 minute non-occupancy period. While operating, if the AP/BHM detects a weather
