Use the buttons at the bottom of the page to perform the following tasks:
• Click Refresh to update the screen with the most current information.
• Click Submit to update the switch with the values on the screen. If you want the switch to retain the new values across
a power cycle you must perform a save.
• Click Next to navigate to the Wireless Discovery Configuration page.
From the CLI, you can view the same information that is available on the Wireless Global Configuration page with the
show wireless command in Privileged EXEC mode. If you need to change the country code, you can view the list of
available countries and their two-letter codes with the show wireless country-code command.
The CLI commands to set the country code and enable the WLAN switch are available in Wireless Config mode. To set the
country code, enter country-code <code>. To enable the WLAN switch, enter enable. The following example shows
how to access Wireless Config mode, set the country code to Canada, and enable the WLAN switch.
(switch-prompt) #configure
(switch-prompt) (Config)#wireless
(switch-prompt) (Config-wireless)#country-code CA
(switch-prompt) (Config-wireless)#enable

REPARING THE CCESS
Depending on your network security requirements, you might need to connect to the access point CLI and configure some
settings before you connect it to the network. By default, the AP uses untagged VLANs and no security. If your network
requires IEEE 802.1X authentication, you must configure the supplicant information in the AP before you connect to the
network. Also, if you configure the D-Link Unified Switch to require local AP authentication, you must connect to the access
point CLI and configure a pass phrase. To prevent wireless clients from having access to the AP management interface, you
can create a management VLAN.
Note: The commands you enter on the AP apply the changes to the running configuration but does not save them
to non-volatile memory (NVRAM). To make the changes permanent so they persist across a reboot, use the
save-running command.

Logging on to the AP

You can access the AP CLI only through Telnet. The default IP address is 10.90.90.91/8, and DHCP is enabled by default
on the D-Link Access Point. When you connect the AP to a network with a DHCP server, the AP automatically acquires an
IP address. If there is no DHCP server on the network, the AP retains its default IP address of 10.90.90.91/8 until you assign
a static IP address.

Description
Select the country code for the country where your switch and APs operate. A popup window
asks you to confirm the change.
Wireless regulations vary from country to country. Make sure you select the correct country
code so that your WLAN system complies with the regulations in your country. Some WLAN
modes are not available in some countries.
Changing the country code disables and re-enables the switch. Any channel and radio mode
settings that are invalid for the regulatory domain are reset to the default values.
The country code is transmitted in beacons and probe responses from the access points.
