If you have not already done so, establish a console connection with the SRXSeries Services Gateway as described in the hardware guide for the servicesgateway, and log into the CLI.3. Enter configuration mode:admin@> editEntering configuration mode4. Create an access point instance in the SRX Series device configuration:admin@# set wlan access-point name mac-address mac_addresswhere name is the name you want to apply to the access point and mac_addressis the MAC address written on the serial number label on the bottom of the accesspoint.For example:admin@# set wlan access-point silver mac-address 0012cfc75dc05. Set the country code for the access point instance:admin@# set wlan access-point name access-point-options country country_codeConfiguring AX411 Access Point Country-Specific Settings ■ 1

where country_code is the two-letter country code for your location, entered inuppercase letters.For example:admin@# set wlan access-point silver access-point-options country GB6.

If 40 MHz channel bandwidth is not supported for the 2.4 GHz frequency bandin your country, as indicated by an “N” in the seventh column of the table, usethe following CLI command to set the 2.4 GHz channel bandwidth to 20 MHz.The default channel bandwidth is 40 MHz, so if the column contains “Y” youcan skip to the next step:admin@# set wlan access-point name radio 2 radio-options channel bandwidth208. If 40 MHz channel bandwidth is not supported for the 5 GHz frequency band inyour country, as indicated by an “N” in the eighth column of the table, use thefollowing CLI command to set the 5 GHz channel bandwidth to 20 MHz.
