Hard Reset To Factory Defaults; Download A New Image Using Scantool - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-800 Installation And Management Manual

8.8.2 Hard Reset to Factory Defaults

If you cannot access the device or you have lost its password, you can reset the device to its factory default settings by using
the Reload button available on the device. Press the Reload button on the AP device, for 15 seconds, that will reset the
device configuration parameters to default factory settings, by deleting the configuration settings from the device and
rebooting the device.
: You need to use a pin or the end of a paperclip to press the Reload button.
If you are not using DHCP, use the ScanTool or CLI to set the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and other IP parameters. See
Configuration, Management and Monitoring using CLI
: Hard Reset procedure takes 15 seconds to reset the device to its factory defaults.
If you hold the Reload button for longer than 15 seconds, you may go into Forced Reload mode. See
Forced Reload
8.8.2.1 Forced Reload
With Forced Reload, you bring the device into bootloader mode which erases the firmware. To go to forced reload mode,
press and release the reset button for the device to initialize and press the reload button for longer than 15 seconds to reset
the device to factory defaults, deleting the firmaware. Use this procedure only as a last option if the device does not boot,
and the Soft and Hard reset to Factory Defaults procedure does not help.
With Forced Reload, the firmware in the device will be erased. You will need to reload the
software before the device is operational.
The device will try to load the image using the default factory configuration parameters. If this fails, then it will enter either
CLI mode or ScanTool mode as per the user's choice, with a message on the serial console "Starting ScanTool interface,
press any key to enter CLI 5". Follow one of the procedures below to load a new image to the device:
–

Download a New Image Using ScanTool

– Download a New Image Using the Bootloader CLI
As the CLI requires a physical connection to the device serial port, Proxim recommends you to use the ScanTool option.
8.8.3 Download a New Image Using ScanTool
To download the device image, you will need an ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides and
to a computer that is running ScanTool (this is either two separate computers connected to the same network or a single
computer running both programs).
ScanTool automatically detects the device that does not have a valid software image. The TFTP Server and Image File Name
parameters are enabled in the ScanTool's Change screen so that you can download a new image to the device. (These fields
are disabled, if ScanTool does not detect a software image problem).
