Question: Why are outdoor channels not enabled for Country code Turkey?
Product and Software: This article applies to AP-80M and ArubaOS 3.1.1.x.
Outdoor AP AP-80 is unable to use outdoor channels for a specific country code (TR/Turkey and CH/Chile).
Customer has an AP-80M and when it is provisioned the AP comes up as an AM instead of an AP. When the command "show ap allowed-channels country-code" is issued, the allowed channels for Country Code "TR" are shown:
