Reset to the Factory Default Settings
Keep in mind that resetting the device is an irreversible process. Please note that
even the administrator password will be set back to the factory default!
If you have mis-configured your device in such a way that you cannot get access to modify its
parameters via your Web browser you have two options to reset the device back to its factory default
settings.
 Method one requires access to the internal Reset Button (item 3, in
 Figure 4 – Looking Inside the P-520r) as described in chapter: Hardware Introduction.
 The second option is using the KickStart utility provided on the product CD. Note, that the
KickStart utility finds you access point is in the different subnet than your computer. To reset the
AP using KickStart follow the guideline below:
Step 1 Find you P-520r according the Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control) address in the
Found Devices table. The Ethernet MAC address is the serial number of the P-520r
decremented by 1 (in hexadecimal).
Step 2 Select your access point and right click. Select Reset to Default item to set your
device back to the factory defaults.
Step 3 Enter the P-520r administrator login details as requested and click OK:
Step 4 After successful administrator log on your access point will set back to the default
status.
Refer to the appendix, section: C) Factory Defaults Values for the P-520r Access
Point for a detailed list of factory default values.

your AP with the default administrator account (login: admin, password: admin01). Follow the
guidelines below:
This default access function is available only 1 minute after the access point reboot.
Step 1 Find you P-520r according the IP address or Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control)
address in the Found Devices table. The Ethernet MAC address is the serial number
of the P-520r decremented by 1 (in hexadecimal).

device with default administrator settings.
