Avaya AP-6, AP-4, AP-5 manual Reset to Factory Default Procedure

Recovery Procedures

If the password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset the AP to default values. The Reset to Factory Default Procedure resets configuration settings, but does not change the current AP Image.

If the AP 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 Point’s IP address and subnet mask. The current AP Image is not deleted. Follow this procedure if you forget the Access Point’s password:

1. Press and hold the RELOAD button for 10 seconds.

NOTE:

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 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 The Command Line Interface for CLI information.
