Using the Reset button

If an issue with your Access Pointís configu-
ration prevents you from reconnecting to its
management interface, a factory default reset
will be needed.
To restore the factory configuration settings,
use the

Default Reset

button on the front of

the wireless Access Point.
This reset button has two functions:
•

Reboot.

After a short press on the button,

the wireless AP will reboot (restart).
This has the same effect as power cycling
the AP or pressing the

Reboot

button in the

Reboot/Full reset

menu.

•

Reset to factory defaults.

If the reset

button is pressed and held down for more
than 5 seconds, the AP will reboot in its
factory configuration.
