Resetting the AP to Its Factory Default Settings
You can reset the Wireless AP to its factory default settings. The AP boot-up sequence includes a
random delay interval, followed by a vulnerable time interval. During the vulnerable time interval (2
seconds), the LEDs flash in a particular sequence to indicate that the Summit WM Controller is in the
vulnerable time interval. For more information, see “Understanding the Wireless AP LED Status” on
page 58.
If you power up the AP and interrupt the power during the vulnerable time interval three consecutive
times, the next time the AP reboots, it will restore its factory defaults including the user password and
the default IP settings.
CAUTION
The restoration of factory default settings does not erase the non-volatile log.
To reset the AP to its factory default settings:
1 Reboot the AP.
2 Depower and repower the AP during the vulnerable time interval.
3 Repeat Step 2 two more times.
When the AP reboots for the fourth time, after having its power supply interrupted three
consecutive times, it restores its factory default settings. The AP then reboots again to put the default
settings into effect.
