Controllers are designed for use in many countries with varying regulatory requirements. You can

Note
of operation. For example, an access point with part number AIR-AP1030-A-K9 (which is included in
the Americas regulatory domain) cannot be used in Australia. Always be sure to purchase controllers
and access points that match your country's regulatory domain.
On the controller GUI, click Wireless > Country, enter the desired country code in the Country Code
field, and click Save Configuration.
On the controller CLI, enter config country code to configure the country code. Enter show country to

Controllers running software release 4.0 or earlier do not have the ability to control access points in more
