NWA's MAC address that will be specific to this device.
You should now see the Status screen. See
about the Status screen.
Note: The management session automatically times out when the time period set in
the Administrator Inactivity Timer field expires (default five minutes). Simply log
back into the NWA if this happens.

2.3 Resetting the NWA

If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need
to use the RESET button. This replaces the current configuration file with the
factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all the settings you
previously configured. The password will be reset to 1234.

2.3.1 Methods of Restoring Factory-Defaults

You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in three
ways:
• Use the RESET button to upload the default configuration file. Hold this button
in for about 10 seconds (the lights will begin to blink). Use this method for cases
when the password or IP address of the NWA is not known.
• Use the web configurator to restore defaults (refer to
282).
• Transfer the configuration file to your NWA using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
