Concept Guide

Improper country code assignments can disrupt wireless transmissions. Most countries impose
penalties and sanctions on operators of wireless networks with devices set to improper country
codes.
To view the country code information, run the show country-codes command.
Specifying Country Code
This procedure is applicable only to the W-IAP-RW variants. Skip this step if you are installing W-IAP in the
United States and Japan.
The Country Code window is displayed for the W-IAP-RW variants when you log in to the W-IAP UI for the first
time. The Please Specify the Country Code drop-down list displays only the supported country codes. If the
W-IAP cluster consists of multiple W-IAP platforms, the country codes supported by the master W-IAP is
displayed for all other W-IAPs in the cluster. Select a country code from the list and click OK. The W-IAP
operates in the selected country code domain.

You can also view the list of supported country codes for the W-IAP-RW variants using the show country-
codes command.
Accessing the Instant CLI
Instant supports the use of Command Line Interface (CLI) for scripting purposes. When you make
configuration changes on a master W-IAP in the CLI, all associated W-IAPs in the cluster inherit these changes
and subsequently update their configurations. By default, you can access the CLI from the serial port or from
an SSH session. You must explicitly enable Telnet access on the W-IAP to access the CLI through a Telnet
session.
For information on enabling SSH and Telnet access to the W-IAP CLI, see Terminal access on page 60.
Connecting to a CLI Session
On connecting to a CLI session, the system displays its host name followed by the login prompt. Use the
administrator credentials to start a CLI session. For example:
User: admin
If the login is successful, the privileged command mode is enabled and a command prompt is displayed. For
example:
(Instant AP)#
The privileged EXEC mode provides access to show, clear, ping, traceroute, and commit commands. The
configuration commands are available in the config mode. To move from Privileged EXEC mode to the
Configuration mode, enter the following command at the command prompt:
(Instant AP)# configure terminal
