Changes to Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in the 5 GHz Band
Depending on your country/region settings on this product, the available channels in the 5 GHz
band may have changed.
Customers in the U.S.
Effective July 20, 2007, new FCC regulations on the use of the 5GHz band, the band used by
radios supporting the IEEE 802.11a standard, prohibit the sale of radios not meeting the new
specifications. To comply with these new requirements, several channels in the ProCurve Radio
Ports 220 (J9005A), and 230 (J9006A) are disabled when using this product.
This product disables channels 52, 56, 60, 64 (5.25-5.35 GHz) in the U.S. These channels remain
available for use in other countries except as noted below.
Customers in the European Union and Selected Countries/Regions*
In the European Union and selected countries/regions*, ProCurve Wireless Edge Services
Modules, Access Points and Radio Ports purchased after April 1, 2008, are subject to new radar
interference requirements that limit the available channels in the 5 GHz band. To comply with
these new requirements, the operating channels impacted by this change have been removed.
As of April 1, 2008, the factory-installed software version that ships with your product limits
the available 5 GHz channels to 36, 40, 44 and 48 (5.150 – 5.250 GHz).
* Other countries/regions that apply include South Africa, Turkey, Morocco, Croatia.
