Proxim AP-2000 manual Reset to Factory Default Procedure, Forced Reload Procedure

Troubleshooting the AP-2000

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 Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) for CLI information.

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.
