Chapter 1 Introducing the Device
1.6 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you
will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to the default
password printed on the back of the Device.
1
Make sure the PWR/SYS LED is on (not blinking).
2
To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for ten seconds or
until the PWR/SYS LED begins to blink and then release it. When the PWR/SYS LED begins to
blink, the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.
1.7 Wireless Access
The Device is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers or PDAs
and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet
cables.
You can configure your wireless network in either the built-in Web Configurator, or using the WPS
button.

You can also use the WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the Device
and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
To activate WPS:
1
Make sure the PWR/SYS LED is on and not blinking.
2
Press the WPS button for five seconds and release it.
