ZyAIR B-500 Wireless Access Point User’s Guide

The management session automatically times out when the time period set in the Administrator Inactivity Timer field expires (default five minutes). Simply log back into the ZyAIR if this happens to you.

2.2Resetting the ZyAIR

If you forget your password or cannot access the ZyAIR, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file or use the RESET button on the top panel of the ZyAIR. Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously. The password will be reset to “1234”, also.

2.2.1 Method of Restoring Factory-Defaults

You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in three ways:

1.Use the RESET button on the top panel of the ZyAIR to upload the default configuration file (hold this button in for about 10 seconds or until the Link LED turns red). Use this method for cases when the password or IP address of the ZyAIR is not known.

2.Use the web configurator to restore defaults (refer to the chapter on maintenance).

3.Transfer the configuration file to your ZyAIR using FTP. See later in the part on SMT configuration for more information.
