Forgotten
Password and Reset
to Factory Defaults
Wireless Station
Cannot Connect to
the LAN via the
Access Point
If you can browse to the Access Point configuration screen but cannot log
on because you have forgotten the password, follow the steps below to
reset the Access Point to its factory default configuration.
All your configuration changes will be lost, and you will need to run the
configuration wizard again before you can re-establish your wireless
network. All other computer users will lose their network connections
whilst this process is taking place, so choose a time when this would be
convenient.
1 Power off the Access Point.
2 Hold down the Reset button on the rear of the unit and re-apply power
to the Access Point. The Status LED will flash as the Access Point starts
up, and after approximately 30 seconds will start to flash more slowly
(typically 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off).
3 Keep Reset button held down and remove power from the Access Point.
4 Release the Reset button.
5 Re-apply power to the Access Point, and when the startup sequence has
completed, browse to the IP address of the Access Point and run the
configuration wizard. You may need to restart your computer before you
attempt this.
6 When the configuration wizard has completed, you may reconnect your
network as it was before.
Check the following:
The SSID and WEP settings on the wireless station match the settings
■
on the Access Point.
The wireless station is set to infrastructure mode, not ad hoc mode.
■
If MAC address-based access control is enabled, that wireless station's
■
MAC address is included in the list of trusted stations.
If using 802.1x mode, that the wireless station's 802.1x software is
■
configured correctly. See
on setting up Windows XP for 802.1x. If the wireless station is running
on a different Windows platform, refer to the documentation
provided with the 802.1x software.
