Change Access Point Country Code, for testing

  • 1.  Change Access Point Country Code, for testing

    Posted Jun 29, 2020 06:04 PM

    We have purchased a couple of AP-203-RW but we would like to test some of the features out before we send it to their final destination.

     

    Currently we are trying to provision the AP-203-RW in the United states; but, we are not having any success.  The AP is coming up with the default version and very limited functionality.  Even if we login to the AP with the console port as admin.

     

    My question is, is there a way to change the country code to allow us to make the AP-203 work in the United states, just for testing?  And then change it back?  

     

    I have read from a previous post, that we should not do that because of FCC regulations?  I wanted to verify if we can or should change the country code or not.  The previous article I found was: https://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Controllerless-Networks/Setting-quot-B-quot-US-Regulatory-Domain-on-a-Aruba-IAP-515-RW/td-p/634527

    You cannot change a Rest-of-World AP to US regulatory domain.

    You cannot change a US AP to non-US regulatory domains.

     

    Even having an RoW AP in the US even violates FCC regulations and you are not allowed to import it. I've seen APs seized by customs in the past because of this.
