WLAN Country Setting
Due to regulations, the country-specific setting is not on the setup menu and Web-
Manager. However, we provide a separate utility for changing the
Country/Zone
setting.
The utility is called SetZone and is included in the package. It is also available for
download from the Lantronix web site.
The syntax is:
SetZone <IP address> [<zone abbreviation>]
Leaving the zone blank causes the utility to report the current setting only. Following are
valid zone abbreviations. These settings are consistent with IEEE802.11b/g zones:
US=United States
CA=Canada
FR=France
SP=Spain
JP=Japan
OT=Others, such as Europe (excluding
France), Asia, Africa, and Australia
