Resetting the Access Point to Factory
Default Settings
There are two ways to reset the access point to factory default settings:
■
Using the Reset Switch on the DC Power Supply
■
Using SNMP to Reset the Access Point
CAUTION:
Resetting the access point to factory default settings will erase all the settings
that you have previously configured on the device. Note, too, that this will disrupt all
wireless network communications through this device.
Using the Reset Switch on the DC Power Supply
The DC power supply (see
DC Power Supply
on page 31) includes a reset
switch that you can use to reset the access point to its factory default settings.
CAUTION:
Performing this procedure resets both the CM and AP components to their
factory default settings. If you only want to reset the AP component to its factory default
setting, perform the procedure described in
“Using the Reset Switch on the DC Power
on page 40 instead.
To reset the access point to factory defaults the DC power supply
1.
Verify that the access point is receiving power from the coaxial cable.
2.
If the DC connector on the access point is protected by its cap, remove the cap.
3.
Connect the DC adapter to the DC connector on the access point.
4.
Connect the DC power adapter to a power source.
5.
Press the reset switch (labeled 3 in
) for eight seconds.
The LEDs go off as the access point resets itself to factory default settings. When the
orange LED comes on, it indicates that the access point has completed the reset process.
