3e–527A3 Wireless Access Point – 8 Port
Configuration-Button
The System Administration—Configuration Button screen is used in
conjunction with the physical Configuration/RESET button which is ac-
cessible from the outside of the 3e–527A3 unit. The Configuration/RESET
button is located directly under the number "1" on the front panel. Use a
plastic wire wrap or something similar and slide it in-between the gray
panel and the Ethernet jack (RJ-45 jack) at an angle so that the tip touches
the button hidden under the number "1". You will know you have located
the Configuration/RESET button when you push and "feel" a click.
NOTE: A metal paper clip is not recommended as it may damage the
reset switch and after time the switch will not be water resistant anymore.
In order to minimize the administration effort of the AP, the external
RESET button has been converted into a configuration button to perform
certain functions. This configuration button is programmed to perform
the following operations.
• Send the configuration file to other APs that are connected to
ports 1-6 and the PoE/Uplink port (requires a password)
Note that the configuration file transfer only goes to devices that
are connected to the Ethernet ports. The configuration does not
get transferred to devices connected wirelessly or through the
Encrp port.
• Normal Reset (hold button for five seconds then release, see de-
tails below)
• Factory Default (hold button for 10 seconds then release, see de-
tails below)
The System Administration—Configuration Button screen is where
you can enable the configuration button. The configuration button is
disabled by default and doesn't have a password. Once the button is en-
abled, a password must be entered (not needed for reset or factory default
functions). In order to perform a configuration transfer, you must enter
the password (8 digits between 1-9).
