Abstract
A plurality of access point (AP) devices configured to provide a wireless network at a site within a geographic region and a management system (NMS) configured to manage the plurality of APs are described. An AP device sends, to the NMS, a message including version information of hardware compliance data currently stored at the AP device. The NMS determines, based on the version information, whether the first version of the hardware compliance data stored at the AP device is in compliance with applicable regulations of the geographic region. When the first version is not in compliance, the AP device receives, from the NMS, a second version of the hardware compliance data that is in compliance with the applicable regulations of the geographic region. The AP device enables operation of one or more hardware components of the AP device in accordance with the second version of the hardware compliance data.
