Resetting An Altitude Ap To Its Factory Default Settings - Extreme Networks Summit WM Maintenance Manual

Resetting an Altitude AP to its factory default settings

The AP boot-up sequence includes a random delay interval, followed by a vulnerable time interval. The
LEDs flash in a particular sequence to indicate that the AP is in the vulnerable time interval (2 seconds).
For more information, see the Summit WM User Guide.
If you power up the AP and interrupt the power during the vulnerable time interval three consecutive
times, the next time the AP reboots, it will restore its factory defaults including the user password and
the default IP settings.
CAUTION
The restoration of factory default settings does not erase the non-volatile log.
To reset the Altitude 350-2 AP to its factory default settings:
1 Switch off, and then switch on the Altitude AP. The Altitude AP reboots.
2 Switch off, and then switch on the Altitude AP during the vulnerable time interval.
NOTE
You should refer to the Altitude AP's LED pattern to determine the vulnerable period. For more information, see
Summit WM User Guide.
3 Repeat Step 2 two more times.
When the Altitude AP reboots for the fourth time, after having its power supply interrupted three
consecutive times, it restores its factory default settings. The Altitude AP then reboots again to put
the default settings into effect.
NOTE
You should refer to the Altitude AP's LED pattern to confirm that the Altitude AP is set to its factory defaults.
For more information, see Summit WM User Guide.
Reset button (Hardware)
Some models of the Altitude AP have a reset button. If your model is equipped with a reset button, you
can set it to its factory default settings by pressing and holding the reset button for approximately six
seconds.
NOTE
If you press the reset button and do not hold it over six seconds, the Altitude AP will merely reboot, and not reset to
its factory defaults.
The following figure illustrates the location of the reset button on the Altitude 350-2 APs.
