Conguration-Button
The System Administration—Conguration Button screen is used in
conjunction with the physical Conguration/RESET button which is ac-
cessible from the outside of the 3e–527A3 unit. The Conguration/RESET
button is located directly under the number “1” on the front panel. Use a
plastic wire wrap or something similar and slide it in-between the gray
panel and the Ethernet jack (RJ-45 jack) at an angle so that the tip touches
the button hidden under the number “1”. You will know you have located
the Conguration/RESET button when you push and “feel” a click.
NOTE: A metal paper clip is not recommended as it may damage the
reset switch and after time the switch will not be water resistant anymore.
In order to minimize the administration effort of the AP, the external
RESET button has been converted into a conguration button to perform
certain functions. This conguration button is programmed to perform
the following operations.
• Send the conguration le to other APs that are connected to
ports 1-6 and the PoE/Uplink port (requires a password)
Note that the conguration le transfer only goes to devices that
are connected to the Ethernet ports. The conguration does not
get transferred to devices connected wirelessly or through the
Encrp port.
• Normal Reset (hold button for ve seconds then release, see de-
tails below)
• Factory Default (hold button for 10 seconds then release, see de-
tails below)
The System Administration—Conguration Button screen is where
you can enable the conguration button. The conguration button is
disabled by default and doesn't have a password. Once the button is en-
abled, a password must be entered (not needed for reset or factory default
functions). In order to perform a conguration transfer, you must enter
the password (8 digits between 1-9).
