Selecting a Domain (Domain Tab)
“Domain” refers to a territory where radio frequency transmissions must
conform to the standards set by a single regulatory agency. For exam-
ple, the frequencies and channels allowed for wireless data communi-
cations in the United States are set by the FCC. Every country sets its
own standards, although in practice many countries may use the same
standards.
The IEEE 802.11d standard provides a way for a wireless network
adapter to detect the domain in which it is located and conform its
transmissions to the standards set by the controlling regulatory agency.
