The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This appendix lists the IEEE 802.11a, b, and g channels supported by the world's regulatory domains as well as the maximum power levels and antenna gains allowed per data rate.
The following topics are covered in this section:
•Maximum Power Levels and Antenna Gains
The channel identifiers, channel center frequencies, and regulatory domains of each IEEE 802.11a 20-MHz-wide channel are shown in Table B-1.
Note All channel sets are restricted to indoor usage except the Americas (-A), which allows for indoor and outdoor use on channels 52 through 161 in the United States.
The channel identifiers, channel center frequencies, and regulatory domains of each IEEE 802.11b/g 22-MHz-wide channel are shown in Table B-2.
Note Mexico is included in the Rest of World regulatory domain; however, channels 1 through 8 are for indoor use only while channels 9 through 11 can be used indoors and outdoors. Users are responsible for ensuring that the channel set configuration is in compliance with the regulatory standards of Mexico.
Note In Japan, channel 14 is not supported for 802.11g mode.
An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Table B-3 indicates the maximum EIRP allowed for each data rate in the IEEE 802.11a regulatory domains.
An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Table B-4 indicates the maximum EIRP allowed for each data rate in the IEEE 802.11b regulatory domains.
An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Table B-5 indicates the maximum EIRP allowed for each data rate in the IEEE 802.11g regulatory domains.
