Configuring the WiFi Region on Evolution and Linux based Wireless Device Servers

Our WiFi device servers show Region Code US. How can another region be specified?


The WiFi region can only be changed from the oem-config level of the command line. To get to the oem-config level:

  1. Open a CLI session, either via telnet or on a serial port
  2. Type 'enable' to open the enable level
  3. Type 'device' to open the device level
  4. Type 'oem-config' to open the oem-config level
  5. Type a question mark (?) to list the available regions
  6. Type 'region [region name]' for your region. If your region is not listed, type 'region other'
  7. Type 'exit' to exit to the device level
  8. Type 'exit' to exit to the enable level
  9. Type 'write' to save the changed configuration
  10. Type 'reload' to reboot the device server

When the server finishes rebooting it will be set to the new region.

Here is an example session:

% telnet 172.18.23.105
>enable
(enable)#device
(device)#oem-config
(oem-config)#?
clrscrn default region
exit mac-address <mac address>
no mac-address no oem configuration
oem configuration region canada
region france region japan
region other region spain
region united states show
show history

(oem-config)#region other
(oem-config)#exit
(device)#exit
(enable)#write
(enable)#reload
Are you sure (yes/no)? yes

Rebooting...
