Reset Button
The Reset button on the rear panel is used to return the parameter
settings of the unit to their default values. You might use the button if you
want to discard the current configuration of the device or cannot manage
the unit because you forgot the password to the manager account.
You may disable the button using the management software. If the unit is
installed in a non-secure area, you might want to disable the button to
prevent unauthorized individuals from pressing it and potentially disrupting
the operations of your wireless network.
The Reset button is recessed to prevent it from being accidentally
pressed. To press the button, use a pointed object, such as the end of a
straightened paperclip. Hold the button for five seconds and release. The
access point resets and loads its default configuration in a process that
takes one minute to complete. In its default configuration, the access point
attempts to contact a DHCP server from its LAN port for its IP address
configuration. If it receives a response, it configures its IP address
according to the settings from the DHCP server. If it does not receive a
response, it uses the default address 192.168.1.230 and subnet mask
255.255.255.0. For instructions on how to start a management session
when the access point is at its default configuration, refer to “Starting the
Initial Management Session on the Access Point” on page 51.
