Conguring DWL-8220AP Access Points
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.
Conguring Access Points
To congure DWL-8220AP access points, perform the following tasks, in this order:
• Specify the country of operation.
• Congure a template for automatic conguration of Distributed APs.
• Congure AP access ports and dual homing.
• Congure security.
• Congure a service prole to set SSID and encryption parameters.
• Congure a radio prole.
• If required, congure the channel, transmit power, and external antenna type on each
radio.
• Map the radio prole to a service prole.
• Assign the radio prole 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 congure 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 specied in the specied 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 on the next page.
