Configuring Dwl-8220Ap Access Points; Specifying The Country Of Operation - D-Link DWS-1008 - AirPremier MobileLAN Switch Product Manual

Although these parameters have default values, D-Link recommends that you change the values for
each radio for optimal performance. For example, leaving the channel number on each radio set to its
default value can result in high interference among the radios.

Configuring DWL-8220AP Access Points

To configure access points, perform the following tasks, in this order:
• Specify the country of operation.
• Configure an Auto-AP profile for automatic configuration of Distributed APs.
• Configure AP access ports and dual homing.
• Configure AP-Switch 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 code
For the country, you can specify one of the codes listed in the table on the next page.
