Enabled 802.11d Network

There is no need to configure a country if 802.11d is used by the Access Point (AP). Verify that the wireless
network infrastructure has 802.11d enabled.
To connect to a network with 802.11d enabled:
Use Mobility Services Platform (MSP) to generate bar codes that contain a Fusion wireless network profile for
1.
use with Rapid Deployment (RD). This profile should match the network that is being connected to (a properly
configured ESSID).
On the MC17, use RD to scan the MSP Fusion Profile bar codes.
2.
RD imports the Fusion Profile into the Fusion Database and attempts to connect to the network configured in
3.
the profile. Fusion uses the country code information provided in the AP's beacon (802.11d) to determine the
regulatory requirements and connect to the network using a valid WLAN channel.

Disabled 802.11d Network

If the network does not have 802.11d enabled, it is necessary to create:
•
an WCS Options Registry file on another device
•
a new staging network dedicated to the transition from 802.11d to using a specific country code.
This staging network needs to have 802.11d enabled. This staging network could be as simple as an AP connected
to a host computer and multiple MC17s. A separate non-MC17 Fusion based device (MC70, MC9090, MC3000,
etc.) is needed to create the WCS Options Registry file.

Create WCS Options Registry File

To export a WCS Options Registry file that contains the proper settings for the network, perform the following
steps:
Obtain another device that has the Fusion application on it. This device should have Fusion version 2.4 or
1.
greater.
Using the Fusion application on a separate device, tap the
