Resetting The Roamabout Access Point - Cabletron Systems RoamAbout Access Point Manual

Resetting the RoamAbout Access Point

There are two ways to reset the Access Point:
•
Reset with Current Settings
If you change any wireless configuration parameter, such as the wireless network name
or channel, you must select this option to reset the Access Point to implement your
changes.
From the AP Manager, select Reset then select Reset with Current Settings.
From a device attached to the console port, select Reset with Current Settings from
the RoamAbout Access Point Installation Menu.
Allow approximately one minute for the Access Point to reset and complete its
self-test.
•
Reset with Factory Defaults
This option reboots the Access Point, causing the Access Point's configured
parameters to be initialized to factory default values.
This action deletes all configuration settings and replaces them with factory default
values. All configuration settings are lost, including the IP address.
From the AP Manager, select the Access Point from the Managed List field, click the
Reset button, then click the Reset with Factory Defaults button.
From a device attached to the console port, select Reset with Factory Defaults from
the RoamAbout Access Point Installation Menu.
The Access Point hardware has a reload/reset button that forces the Access Point to
download a new firmware image from a BootP/TFTP server and reset to factory
default values. If a new image is not available, the Access Point resets to factory
default values after approximately three minutes. Make sure that you do not have
multiple BootP/TFTP servers configured to load the Access Point; you might load an
incorrect image.
Allow approximately one minute for the Access Point to reset and complete its
self-test.
