How to Configure Radio Settings on an Access Point

Enabling and Disabling World Mode on an Access Point
Perform this task to configure the AP to support 802.11d world mode or Cisco legacy world mode.
When you enable world mode, the AP adds channel carrier set information to its beacon. Client devices
with world mode enabled receive the carrier set information and adjust their settings automatically. For
example, a client device used primarily in Japan could rely on world mode to adjust its channel and
power settings automatically when it travels to Italy and joins a network there. World mode is disabled
by default.
Aironet extensions must be enabled for world mode operation. Aironet extensions are enabled by default.
Note World mode is not supported on the 5-GHz radio.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. interface dot11Radio interface
4. world-mode {legacy | dot11d country-code code} {indoor | outdoor | both}
5. end
6. copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

except for the Cisco 800 series and Cisco 1800 series
fixed-configuration routers, where the interface
argument is either 0 or 1.
• The 2.4-GHz radio is port 0, and the 5-GHz radio is
port 1.
Step 4
world-mode {legacy | dot11d country-code code}
