Restore everything except system name/IP address: Select this option if you are deploying a second
NXA-WAPZD1000 for failover purposes.


you want to use the backup file as a configuration template.
5.
Click the Restore button.
The NXA-WAPZD1000 will now restore the backup file. During this process, the device automatically logs
you out of the Browser-Based Configuration Pages. When the restore process is complete, the device
automatically restarts and your wireless network will be ready for use again.
Restoring the NXA-WAPZD1000 to Default Factory Settings
In certain extreme conditions, you may want to reinitialize the NXA-WAPZD1000, and reset it to factory
default state. In this state, the network is almost ready for use, but all your user/guest/log and other records,
accounts and preference configurations would need to be manually reconfigured.
To reset your NXA-WAPZD1000 to factory default settings:
1.
Go to Administer > Backup.
2.
Click the Restore to Factory Settings button.
3.
Owing to the drastic effect of this operation, one or more confirmation dialog boxes will appear. Click
OK to confirm this operation.
When this process begins, you will be logged out of the Browser-Based Configuration Pages.
When the reset is complete, the Status LED is a blinking red, then a blinking green, indicating that the system
is in the “factory default” state. After you complete the Setup Wizard, the Status LED will be steady green.
Alternate Factory Default Reset Method
If you are unable to complete a software-based resetting of the NXA-WAPZD1000, you can do the following
“hard” restore:
To perform a “hard” factory default reset:
1.
Locate the Reset pin hole on the front panel of the NXA-WAPZD1000 (FIG. 1).
2.
Insert a straightened paper clip in the hole and press for at least 5 seconds.
After the reset is complete, the Status LED blinks red, then blinks green, indicating that the system is in
factory default state.
After you complete the Setup Wizard, the Status LED will be steady green.
If you use the Restore everything option to restore settings from one
NXA-WAPZD1000 to another, note that wireless clients reporting to the AP managed
by the first NXA-WAPZD1000 unit will need to go through Zero-IT activation again to
obtain new client certificates. Zero-IT activation is enabled by default, therefore no
manual configuration is required from you.
When this procedure is complete, you will need to redo a complete setup. If the NXA-
WAPZD1000 is on a live network, a new IP address may be assigned to the system. In
this case, the system can be discovered by a UPnP client application, such as Windows
“My Network Places.” If there is no DHCP server on the connected network, the system's
default IP address is 192.168.0.2 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Do not disconnect the NXA-WAPZD1000 from its power source until this procedure is
complete.
