Reset Button
The reset button located on the bottom of the device can be used to reset the access point to factory default
settings or turn off/on the LED display.
There are two ways to reset the access point to factory default settings:
Reset the AP during normal operation
Press and hold down the reset button using a small, narrow object such as a paper clip for more than 10
seconds during normal operation.
Reset the AP while powering up
1. Press and hold down the reset button using a small, narrow object such as a paper clip while the access point
is not powered on (either via DC power or PoE).
2. Connect the power supply (DC or PoE) to the access point while the reset button is being held down.
3. Release the reset button on the access point after 15 seconds.
To turn off/on the LED display, press and release the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a
paperclip for less than 10 seconds during normal operation of the access point.
Power
If PoE is not available, a proprietary Aruba 12V/30W power adapter can be used to power the AP12 access point.
This power adapter is available in the box if you buy the AP12 and power adapter bundle.
Additionally, a locally-sourced AC-to-DC adapter (or any DC source) can be used to power this device, as long as it
complies with all applicable local regulatory requirements and the DC interface meets the following
specifications:
12 Vdc (+/- 5%) and at least 18W
Center-positive 2.1/5.5 mm circular plug, 9.5 mm length
When both 802.3at and DC power sources are available, the DC power source takes precedence. The access
point simultaneously draws a minimal current from the PoE source. In the event that the DC source fails, the
access point switches to the 802.3at source.
Cable Clips
The cable clips on the rear of the access point is used to organize Ethernet cables, as shown in
. The use
of the cable clips is optional and does not support all types of cables and plugs.
