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

hour to complete.
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.
