Update MC17 via 802.11d Enabled Staging Network
Use the staging network to configure all devices with the correct country code and 802.11d mode:
Configure RD to download packages from a FTP server that is accessible from the staging network. This may
1.
require MSP bar codes, etc.
The Out of Box magic profile for the MC17 devices automatically attempts to connect to a wireless network
2.
with an ESSID of "101". This should be the same ESSID of the staging network.
Place the WCS Options Registry file (created using the alternate Fusion based device), on the staging
3.
network's FTP server.
The MC17 should download the WCS Options Registry file from the staging network and configure 802.11d
4.
mode and the country code.
The MC17 should perform a cold boot so that the new configuration takes effect.
5.
Connect to the Non-802.11d Network
Since the MC17 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.
