values for each radio for optimal performance. For example, leaving the channel number on

Configuring Access Points
To configure DWL-8220AP access points, perform the following tasks, in this order:
• Specify the country of operation.
• Configure a template for automatic configuration of Distributed APs.
• Configure AP access ports and dual homing.
• Configure security.
• Configure a service profile to set SSID and encryption parameters.
• Configure a radio profile.
• If required, configure the channel, transmit power, and external antenna type on each
radio.
• Map the radio profile to a service profile.
• Assign the radio profile to radios and enable the radios.
Specifying the Country of Operation
You must specify the country in which you plan to operate the switch and its access points.
MSS does not allow you to configure or enable the access point radios until you specify the
country of operation.
Note:
In countries where Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is required, MSS performs
the appropriate check for radar. If radar is detected on a channel, the AP radio stops using
the channel for the amount of time specified in the specified country’s regulations. MSS also
generates a log message to notify you when this occurs.
To specify the country, use the following command:
set system countrycode
