Resetting to the Default Configuration
Resetting to the Default Configuration
If you forget the password that allows you to configure the access point, you may need to completely
reset the configuration. You can use the MODE button on the access point or the web-browser interface.
Note The following steps reset all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys,
the IP address, and the SSID.
For additional information on access point default behavior, refer to the “Default IP Address Behavior”
section on page 3-4 and the “Default SSID and Radio Behavior” section on page 3-4.
Using the MODE Button
Follow these steps to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to the factory
defaults using the MODE button:
Step 1 Open the access point cover (refer to the “Opening the Access Point Cover” section on page 2-11).
Step 2 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the
access point.
Step 3 Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 4 Hold the MODE button until the Ethernet LED turns an amber color (approximately 2 to 3 seconds), and
release the button.
Step 5 After the access point reboots, you must reconfigure the access point by using the Web browser interface,
the Telnet interface, or Cisco IOS commands.
Note The access point is configured with the factory default values including the IP address (set to
receive an IP address using DHCP).
Using the Web Browser Interface
Follow these steps to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to the factory
defaults using the web browser interface.
Step 1 Open your Internet browser.
Note The access point web-browser interface is fully compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer
version 6.0 on Windows 98 and 2000 platforms and with Netscape version 7.0 on Windows 98,
Windows 2000, and Solaris platforms.
Note When using the access point browser interface, you should disable your browser pop-up blocker.
