To reset the access point, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the reset button screw. Be careful not to loose the screw.
Step 2
Use a straighten paperclip, and push the reset button for less than 10 seconds. This causes the access point to
reboot (power cycle), all LEDs turn off for approximately 5 seconds and then the LEDs reactivate.
Step 3
Replace the reset button screw, and use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten to 22 to 24 in. lbs (2.49 to 2.71

Monitoring LED Status
The four status LEDs on AP1520s are useful during the installation process to verify connectivity, radio
status, access point status, and software status. However, once the access point is up and running and no
further diagnosis is required, Cisco recommends turning off the LEDs to discourage vandalism.
If your access point is not working properly, look at the LEDs on the bottom of the unit. You can use them to
quickly assess the unit’s status.
Note
LEDs are enabled or disabled using the following command:
config ap led-state {enable | disable}
{cisco_ap_name | all}.
There are four LED status indicators on AP1520s.
