Table 3. Basic Wireless Global Configuration
Field	Description
WLAN Switch	If the status is disabled, this field appears and one of the following reasons is
Disable Reason	listed:
	• None—The cause for the disabled status is unknown.
	• Administrator disabled—The Enable WLAN Switch check box has been
	cleared.
	• No IP Address—The WLAN interface does not have an IP address.
	• No SSL Files—The D-Link WLAN Controller Switch communicates
	with the APs it manages by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
	connections. The first time you power on the WCS, it automatically
	generates a server certificate that will be used to set up the SSL
	connections. The SSL certificate and key generation can take up to an
	hour to complete.
	If routing is enabled on the switch, the operational status might be disabled
	due to one of the following reasons:
	• No Loopback Interface—The switch does not have a loopback interface.
	• Global Routing Disabled—Even if the routing mode is enabled on the
	WLAN switch interface, it must also be enabled globally for the
	operational status to be enabled.
	For information about how to configure a loopback interface and enable
	routing, see “D-Link WLAN Controller Switch with Routing Enabled” on
	page 61.
IP Address	This field shows the IP address of the WLAN interface on the switch. If
	routing is disabled, the IP address is the network interface. If routing is
	enabled, this is the IP address of the routing or loopback interface you
	configure for the WCS features.
AP Authentication	Select the check box to require APs to be authenticated before they can
	associate with the switch.

AP MAC Validation

Select the database to use for AP validation.

•Local—If you select this option, you must add the MAC address of each AP to the local Valid AP database.

•RADIUS—If you select this option, you must configure the MAC address of each AP in an external RADIUS server.

Country Code	Select the country code for the country where your switch and APs operate.
	A popup window asks you to confirm the change.
	Wireless regulations vary from country to country. Make sure you select the
	correct country code so that your WLAN system complies with the
	regulations in your country. Some WLAN modes, such as the Atheros
	modes, are not available in some countries.
	Changing the country code disables and re-enables the switch. Any channel
	and radio mode settings that are invalid for the regulatory domain are reset to
	the default values.
	The country code (IEEE 802.11d) is transmitted in beacons and probe
	responses from the access points.

From the CLI, you can view the same information that is available on the Wireless Global Configuration page with the show wireless command in Privileged EXEC mode. If you
