Recovery Procedures
The most common installation problems relate to IP addressing. For example, without the TFTP server IP Address,
you will not be able to download a new AP Image to the AP-600. IP Address management is fundamental. We suggest
you create a chart to document and validate the IP addresses for your system.
If the password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset the AP-600 to default values. The Reset to Factory Default
Procedure resets configuration settings, but does not change the current AP Image.
If the AP-600 has a corrupted software image, follow the Forced Reload Procedure to erase the current AP Image and
download a new image.
Reset to Factory Default Procedure
Use this procedure to reset the network configuration values, including the Access Points IP address and subnet
mask. The current AP Image is not deleted. Follow this procedure if you forget the Access Points password:
1. Press and hold the RELOAD button for 10 seconds.

See RELOAD and RESET Buttons to identify the buttons. You need to use a pin or the end of a paperclip to
press a button.
Result: The AP-600 reboots, and the factory default network values are restored.
2. If not using DHCP, use the ScanTool or CLI over a serial connection to set the IP address, subnet mask, and other
IP parameters. See Command Line Interface (CLI) for CLI information.
