Configuring a Country Code
Controllers are designed for use in many countries with varying regulatory requirements. You can
configure a country code for the controller to ensure that it complies with your country’s regulations.
Note Controllers and access points may not operate properly if they are not designed for use in your country
of operation. For example, an access point with part number AIR-AP1030-A-K9 (which is included in
the Americas regulatory domain) cannot be used in Australia. Always be sure to purchase controllers
and access points that match your country’s regulatory domain.
On the controller GUI, click Wireless > Country, enter the desired country code in the Country Code
field, and click Save Configuration.
On the controller CLI, enter config country code to configure the country code. Enter show country to
check the configuration.
Note For an access point to successfully join a controller, the access point’s regulatory domain must match
the country code of the controller.
Note Controllers running software release 4.0 or earlier do not have the ability to control access points in more
than one regulatory domain.
Note The controller must be installed by a network administrator or qualified IT professional, and the proper
country code must be selected. Following installation, access to the unit should be password protected
by the installer to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements and to ensure proper unit
functionality.
