Step8 When the access point has finished rebooting the software, establish a new Telnet session to the access
point.
Note The wireless device is configured with factory default values, including the IP address (set to
receive an IP address using DHCP) and the default username and password (Cisco).
Step9 When IOS software is loaded, you can use the del privileged EXEC command to delete the config.old
file from Flash.
ap# del flash:config.old

Reloading the Access Point Image
If the wireless device has a firmware failure, you must reload the image file using the Web browser
interface or on 1040, 1100 and 1200 series access points, by pressing and holding the MODE button for
around 30 seconds. You can use the browser interface if the wireless device firmware is still fully
operational and you want to upgrade the firmware image. However, you can use the MODE button when
the access point has a corrupt firmware image. On 350 series access points, you cannot use the MODE
button to reload the image file, but you can use the CLI through a Telnet or console port connection.
