Specifying the country of operation
You must specify the country in which you plan to operate the WSS and its APs. WSS Software does not
allow you to configure or enable the AP radios until you specify the country of operation.
To specify the country, use the following command:
set system countrycode code
For a complete listing of the approved two-letter country codes, refer to the "Approved Countries for the
WLAN 2300 Series Components" at http://www.nortel.com/support.
To verify the configuration change, use the following command:
show system
The following commands set the country code to US (United States) and verify the setting:
Note. In countries where Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is required, WSS
Software 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 specified in the specified country’s
regulations. WSS Software also generates a log message to notify you when this occurs.
Note. For a complete listing of the models in the WLAN Series 2332 and their respective

The Series 2332 access point has been region-locked to meet geographic regulatory
restrictions. Each model is associated to a specific regulatory domain and subsequent
country of operation. During installation, the access point model and wireless security
switch regulatory domain must match or the access point will not operate.
