Resetting the RoamAbout AP
This section describes how to reset the AP.
• Reset with Current Settings
If you change any wireless configuration parameter, such as the wireless network name
or channel, you must select this option to reset the AP to implement your changes.
— From the AP Manager, select Reset then select Reset with Current Settings.
— From a device attached to the RoamAbout R2 console port, select Reset/Upgrade
from the Main Menu and then select Reset Switch.
— From a device attached to the Access Point 2000 console port, select Reset with
Current Settings from the RoamAbout AP Installation Menu.
Allow approximately one minute for the AP to reset and complete its self-test.
• Reset with Factory Defaults
This option reboots the AP, causing the AP’s configured parameters to be initialized
to factory default values. This action deletes all configuration settings and replaces
them with factory default values. All configuration settings are lost, including the IP
address.
— From the AP Manager, select the AP from the Managed List field, click the Reset
button, then click the Reset with Factory Defaults button.
— From a device attached to the RoamAbout R2 console port, select Reset/Upgrade
from the Main Menu, then select Reset Switch with Factory Defaults.
— From a device attached to the Access Point 2000 console port, select Reset with
Factory Defaults from the RoamAbout AP Installation Menu.
• Hardware Reload/Reset button
— RoamAbout R2. The RoamAbout R2 has a reload/reset button. To reset back to
the factory defaults you must download a new firmware image from a TFTP
server then reset back to factory default values. If an image is not available to
download, the RoamAbout R2 resets to its current configuration settings and not
back to the factory default values.
— Access Point. The AP hardware has a reload/reset button that forces the AP to
download a new firmware image from a BootP/TFTP server and reset to factory
default values. If a new image is not available, the AP resets to factory default
values after approximately three minutes. Make sure that you do not have multiple
BootP/TFTP servers configured to load the AP; you might load an incorrect
image. Allow approximately one minute for the AP to reset and complete its
self-test.
