Resetting the AP to its factory default settings

Resetting the AP to its factory default settings
You can reset the wireless AP to its factory default settings. The AP boot-up sequence includes
a random delay interval, followed by a vulnerable time interval. During the vulnerable time
interval (2 seconds), the LEDs flash in a particular sequence to indicate that the HiPath
Wireless Controller is in the vulnerable time interval. For more information, see Section 5.2.3,
“Understanding the wireless AP LED status”, on page 73.
If you power up the AP and interrupt the power during the vulnerable time interval three
consecutive times, the next time the AP reboots, it will restore its factory defaults including the
user password and the default IP settings.
To reset the AP to its factory default settings:
1.
Reboot the AP.
2.
Depower and repower the AP during the vulnerable time interval.
3.
Repeat Step 2 two more times.
When the AP reboots for the fourth time, after having its power supply interrupted three
consecutive times, it restores its factory default settings. The AP then reboots again to put
the default settings into effect.

Performing system maintenance tasks
You can perform various maintenance tasks, including:
●
Changing the log level
●
Setting a poll interval for checking the status of the Wireless APs (Health Checking)
●
Enabling and defining parameters for Syslog event reporting
●
Forcing an immediate system shutdown, with or without reboot
Syslog event reporting uses the syslog protocol to relay event messages to a centralized event
server on your enterprise network. In the protocol a device generates messages, a relay
receives and forwards the messages, and a collector (a syslog server) receives the messages
without relaying them.

The restoration of factory default settings does not erase the non-volatile log.
