Avaya AP-4, AP-6, AP-5 manual Forced Reload Procedure

Recovery Procedures

Forced Reload Procedure

Use this procedure to erase the current AP Image and download a new AP Image. In some cases, specifically when a missing or corrupted AP Image prevents successful booting, you may need to use ScanTool or the Bootloader CLI to download a new executable AP Image.

NOTE:

This does not delete the AP’s configuration (in other words, the Forced Reload Procedure does not reset to device to factory defaults). If you need to force the AP to the factory default state after loading a new AP image, use the Reset to Factory Default Procedure above.

For this procedure, you will first erase the AP Image currently installed on the unit and then use either ScanTool or the Bootloader CLI (over the serial port) to set the IP address and download a new AP Image. Follow these steps:

1. While the unit is running, press the RESET button.

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 indicators begin to flash.
