The DOT11_COUNTRY_OR_REGION_STRING array defines an 802.11 regulatory domain. For more information about country strings and regulatory domains, refer to the IEEE 802.11d-2001 standard.

typedef UCHAR DOT11_COUNTRY_OR_REGION_STRING[3];

DOT11_COUNTRY_OR_REGION_STRING
A 3-byte string that identifies the country in which the 802.11 station is operating.

Remarks

The first two bytes of the DOT11_COUNTRY_OR_REGION_STRING array are the country code as described in the ISO/IEC 3166-1 standard. The third byte must be one of the following:

  • An ASCII space character (0x20) if the regulations under which the 802.11 station is operating encompass all environments in the country.

  • An ASCII 'O' character (0x4F) if the regulations under which the 802.11 station is operating are for an outdoor environment only.

  • An ASCII 'I' character (0x49) if the regulations under which the 802.11 station is operating are for an indoor environment only.

A DOT11_COUNTRY_OR_REGION_STRING array with a value of all zeros is used to specify a null country string.

The PDOT11_COUNTRY_OR_REGION_STRING type is defined as a pointer to the DOT11_COUNTRY_OR_REGION_STRING type as follows:
