Chapter 1 Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point User Guide
Resetting the unit
Note Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend access points are designed to work behind a router or other gateway device that is using network address translation (NAT). NAT allows a device, such as a home router or gateway, to act as an agent between the Internet (public) and a personal network (private), thereby enabling an entire group of computers to be represented by a single IP address. Only one Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend access point can be deployed behind a single NAT device.
Resetting the unit
To reset a 600 Series OfficeExtend AP, while the unit is powered on, hold the reset button dowon for 5 seconds to restart the unit. Then hold the reset button down for 20 seconds to clear the configuration and restart the unit with the factory default settings.
