Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
Configure SSID and encryption settings in a service profile.
Map the service profile to a radio profile, assign the radio profile to radios, and enable the radios.

Country of operation

Before you can configure APs and radio parameters, you must specify the country in which you plan to operate the
radios. Since each country has different regulatory environments, the country code determines the transmit power levels
and channels you can configure on the radios. WSS Software ensures that the values you can configure are valid for the
country you specify.
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
The country code determines the valid radio types as well as channel numbers and power settings for AP radios. The
country code is one of the parameters you set when you create a network plan. Be sure to select the country code for the
country in which the AP will be operated. It is a violation of regulatory laws to set the country code to a country that is
different than the actual country in which the AP is operating.
