Installing the Access Point
Step 1: Preconfigure the Access Point
For your reference, the default wireless settings on the Access Point are listed in Table
19.
Configure Common Wireless Settings
1. On the left menu of the Web interface, click Configuration > Wireless (Radio
2.4G or Radio 5G on dual band APs). The Configuration > Common page
appears.
NOTE: For dual band APs (ZoneFlex 7962, 7363 and 7982), the two radios (2.4GHz
and 5GHz) need to be configured separately on the Web interface. To configure the
common wireless settings, click Configuration > Radio 2.4G or Radio 5G. The rest
of the configuration procedures are the same as for other models.
2. Verify that the common wireless settings are configured as listed in Tab le 20.
3. If you made any changes to the Common tab, click Update Settings.

Country Code • If you purchased the Access Point in the United
States, this value is fixed to United States at the
factory and is not user configurable.
• If you purchased the Access Point outside the
United States, verify that the value is set to your
country or region. Selecting the correct country
code ensures that the Access Point uses only the
radio channels allowed in your country or region.
Note for dual band AP users: The two radios on dual
band APs are always configured with the same country
code setting. If you change the country code for Radio
1, for example, the same change will be applied
automatically to Radio 2.
