Restoring Custom And Factory Default Configurations - HP ProCurve Wireless Access Point 530 Installation And Getting Started Manual

Restoring Custom and Factory Default
Configurations
As part of your troubleshooting process on the Access Point 530, it may
become necessary to return the access point's configuration to custom or
factory default settings. This process momentarily interrupts the access
point's operation, clears the console event log, resets the network counters to
zero, and reboots the access point. If restoring a custom default configuration,
some basic settings, such as a Manager password and IP address, may be
retained. When restoring the factory default configuration, all settings are
cleared, including the Manager password and any IP address.
N o t e
Restoring factory defaults removes all access point configuration changes that
you have made from the factory default settings. This includes, for example,
IP addresses, and radio interface settings. Returning the configuration of these
features to their factory default settings may result in network connectivity
issues.
If the access point has a valid configuration, and you are restoring the factory
default settings for a reason other than configuration problems, you should
save the access point configuration prior to performing the factory default
reset. Then, after the reset and resolution of the original problem, you can
restore the saved configuration to the access point. For both the save and
restore processes, you can use the console copy command. For more informa-
tion on this command, see the Management and Configuration Guide.
You can restore a custom or factory default configuration either from the
access point itself, or through the access point console.
N o t e
The system, password, custom default, and factory default reset functions can
be disabled by the access point's software. For more information, see the
Management and Configuration Guide.
To reset the access point configuration back to custom defaults, perform these
steps:
1.
2.
Press the reset and clear buttons simultaneously.
Once the LEDs shut off, release the reset button. The LEDs flash rapidly
about once per second.
