Access Point Setup 437

Chapter 21

If desired, you can reset a deployed AP to its factory default set-

tings:

where AP index is the AP’s entry in the list generated using the show provision-

ing-ap-list command.

OTE—The reset-bootinfo command takes effect immediately and does not

require use of the AP programming mode config or reprovision commands.

Otherwise, use the provisioning commands to set new parame-

ters.

See the commands under “AP Programming Mode” on page 430 for details

(hostname, hostip, masterip, ipaddr, netmask, gateway, and location).

You can list current provisioning settings using the show ap-params command.

Push the new provisioning parameters to the appropriate

deployed AP:

Accessing the AP Boot Prompt

Initial configuration of the AP is done from the AP boot prompt (apboot). The

AP boot prompt can be accessed either by connecting a terminal directly to

the AP serial console port, or using Telnet to connect to the AP via the

Wireless LAN switch Serial-Over-Ethernet (SOE) interface.

If using a direct terminal connection, access the AP serial inter-

face.

NOTE—If using the SOE interface for remote connection, skip this step and see

Step 2 on page 438.

Otherwise, attach your local terminal to the AP serial console port. See the

Alcatel AP Installation Guide for port and cable characteristics.

Set the terminal or terminal emulation software to use the following

communication settings:

Once attached, press <Enter> a few times to establish communication

between the AP and the terminal.
