Chapter 4 Configuring Controller Settings
Resetting the Controller to Default Settings
• To access the CNM bootloader, we recommend that you reset the CNM from the router. If you reset
the CNM from a CNM user interface, the router might reset the CNM while you are using the
bootloader.
When you reset the CNM from a CNM interface, you have 17 minutes to use the bootloader before
the router automatically resets the CNM. The CNM bootloader does not run the Router Blade
Configuration Protocol (RBCP), so the RBCP heartbeat running on the router times out after 17
minutes, triggering a reset of the CNM.
If you reset the CNM from the router, the router stops the RBCP heartbeat exchange and does not
restart it until the CNM boots up. To reset the CNM from the router, enter one of these commands
on the router CLI:
service-module wlan-controller 1/0 reset (for Fast Ethernet CNM versions)
service-module integrated-service-engine 1/0 reset (for Gigabit Ethernet CNM versions)
• Gigabit Ethernet versions of the Controller Network Module are supported on Cisco 28/37/38xx
Series Integrated Services Routers running Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T2 or later.
Resetting the Controller to Default Settings
If you want to return the controller to its original configuration, you can use the controller GUI or CLI to reset the controller
to factory-default settings.
Using the GUI to Reset the Controller to Default Settings

admin.
Step 5 Choose Commands > Reset to Factory Default.
Step 6 Click Reset.
Step 7 When prompted, confirm the reset.
Step 8 Reboot the controller without saving the configuration.
