Regulatory Domains
Regulatory domains are used to distinguish groups of countries that adhere to the same or similar regulations for
radiousage with regards to availablechannelsand transmit power. CiscoAironetradio products are setatthefactory
to allow a particular channel set and maximum transmit power and are reflected in the part number as the single
character following the model number (for example, in AIR-AP1231G-A-K9, the regulatory domain is represented
by “-A-”. Customers must select the correct regulatory domain that corresponds to their particular country when
choosing a radio module for use in their access point or when choosing a preconfigured bundle.
The Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access point is certified for use in many countries around the world, but has not been
approved for use in all countries. Please refer to the following URL for current worldwide approval status of the
Cisco Aironet 1200: http://www.cisco.com/go/aironet/compliance
