How to change the radio mode of an AP-335 from AM to Access?

  • 1.  How to change the radio mode of an AP-335 from AM to Access?

    Posted Jun 28, 2016 06:10 AM

    Hello community,

    I have a new AP-335 connected to my 7010 controller (6.5.0.0, updated from 6.4.3.7). I put in in the same group as my AP-215. But the radio mode is now "AM" and not "Access". Where can I change this? The rf profiles for a and g radio are the default profiles.

    Oh. Okay. I'm in Germany, Country code "DE". I think there is the problem, allowed channels are all set to "None". But how can I change it? I cant find an option in the GUI.

    Looks like DE/Germany has not yet approved the 335 or 315 yet. I will check with PLM, but it might be a few more weeks. Keep an eye out for the DRT files on the support site as they will be updated as soon as Germany approves the 315/335, upon which you can download the latest DRT file which will enable the 315/335.

    Thank you for your reply,

    I will look in some days if there is an update available.

    That's correct. The current compliance status of the AP-31x and AP-33x is expected to be updated to include all EU countries "any day". Once that's in place, the next DRT release will reflect the change and enable these APs to be used in access mode in all EU countries.

    I activated the new DRT file (DRT 1.0_55642) and now it works fine. Thank you.
