Update MC18 via 802.11d Enabled Staging Network
Use the staging network to configure all devices with the correct country code and 802.11d mode:
1. Configure RD to download packages from a FTP server that is accessible from the staging network. This
may require MSP bar codes, etc.
2. The Out of Box magic profile for the MC18 devices automatically attempts to connect to a wireless network
with an ESSID of "101". This should be the same ESSID of the staging network.
3. Place the Fusion Options gpdexport file (created using the alternate Fusion based device), on the staging
network's FTP server.
4. The MC18 should download the Fusion Options gpdexport file from the staging network to and configure
802.11d mode and the country code.
5. The MC18 should perform a cold boot so that the new configuration takes effect.
Connect to the Non-802.11d Network
Since the MC18 is now setup to not use 802.11d and is configured with the correct country code for the
network, the normal RD procedure should be used from this point forward.
