To Set the Access Point's Country Code

If you are using the ProCurve Wireless Access Point 420 NA (J8130B) model
sold in the United States, radio channels 1 - 11 are the only options supported
under FCC regulations, and cannot be changed. However, if you are using
ProCurve Wireless Access Point 420 WW (J8131B) model sold in other coun-
tries, then you need to set the country code to indicate the channels permitted
for your area. The country code can only be set using the CLI.

Setting the Country Code requires a system reboot.
