The adoption time is extended slightly as new bootloader code loads. When the Radio Port has been adopted
(the Radio Port LEDs flash about once every five seconds), the correct Radio Port bootloader code has been
installed. You may now finish the process for adopting the Radio Port at Layer 3 (see “Radio Port Adoption” in
the Management and Configuration Guide for the ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module and ProCurve
Redundant Wireless Services zl Module).
Compatibility
Wireless Edge Services zl Modules may be used on a network in conjunction with prior ProCurve models (such
as Wireless Edge Services xl Modules). However, note the following:
■ Redundancy and Layer 3 roaming will operate with prior modules as long they are running the proper
software version. For example, Wireless Edge Services xl Modules require software version WS.02.07
(or later) to use these features with the zl Module.
■ The Radio Port capacity limitations should be considered. For example, the zl Module supports up to
156 Radio Ports at first release, while the xl Module with software version WS.02.07 supports 48 Radio
Ports. Using the xl Module as a failover backup for the zl Module may result in the failure of Radio
Ports being adopted.
■ Selected features may not be supported. For example, zl Modules do not support GRE tunnels.
Changes to Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in the 5 GHz Band
Depending on your country/region settings on this product, the available channels in the 5 GHz band may have
changed.
Customers in the U.S.
Effective July 20, 2007, new FCC regulations on the use of the 5GHz band, the band used by radios supporting
the IEEE 802.11a standard, prohibit the sale of radios not meeting the new specifications. To comply with these
new requirements, several channels in the ProCurve Radio Ports 220 (J9005A), and 230 (J9006A) are disabled
when using this product (zl Module).
This product disables channels 52, 56, 60, 64 (5.25-5.35 GHz) in the U.S. These channels remain available for use
in other countries.
Customers in the European Union and Selected Countries/Regions*
In the European Union and selected countries/regions*, ProCurve Wireless Edge Services Modules, Access
Points and Radio Ports purchased after April 1, 2008, are subject to new radar interference requirements that
limit the available channels in the 5 GHz band. To comply with these new requirements, the operating channels
impacted by this change have been removed.
The factory-installed software version that ships with your product limits the available 5 GHz channels to 36,
40, 44 and 48 (5.150 – 5.250 GHz).
* Other countries/regions that apply include South Africa, Turkey, Morocco, Croatia.
