General Operational Requirements 

1.  Ensure that the correct channels and band implemented for the country of usage. The current 

channel settings for various countries are listed below and are subject to change.  

Operation of IEEE802.11a 5GHz Radio in the European Community 

1.  The access point is restricted to indoor usage using the channels in the 5.150GHz to 5.350GHz 

spectrum (Channels 36 to 64) to reduce the potential for interference. 

2.  The radio spectrum regulatory bodies in Greece and Spain currently do not permit operation of 

the access point in the 5GHz band using IEEE802.11a, however operation in the 2.4GHz band 
using IEEE802.11b/g is permitted. To comply with this requirement, the 5GHz band radio must 
be disabled as described in page 23. 

3.  The Access Point supports Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power Control 

(TPC) as required for use in Europe.
