Reloading the Access Point Image
Step 2 Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 3 Hold the MODE button until the Status LED turns amber (approximately 2 to 3 seconds), and release the
button.
Step 4 After the access point reboots, you must reconfigure the access point by using the Web browser
interface, the Telnet interface, or IOS commands.
Note The access point is configured with the factory default values including the IP address (set to
receive an IP address using DHCP).
Using the Web Browser Interface
Follow the steps below to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to the
factory defaults using the web browser interface.
Step 1 Open your Internet browser. You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.x or later) or Netscape
Navigator (version 4.x).
Step 2 Enter the access point’s IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. An Enter Network
Password screen appears.
Step 3 Enter your username in the User Name field.
Step 4 Enter the access point password in the Password field and press Enter. The Summary Status page
appears.
Step 5 Click System Software and the System Software screen appears.
Step 6 Click System Configuration and the System Configuration screen appears.
Step 7 Click the Reset to Defaults button.
Note If the access point is configured with a static IP address, the IP address does not change.
Step 8 After the access point reboots, you must reconfigure the access point by using the Web browser interface,
the Telnet interface, or IOS commands.
Reloading the Access Point Image
If your access point has a firmware failure, you must reload the complete access point image file using
the Web browser interface or by pressing and holding the MODE button for around 30 seconds. You can
use the browser interface if the access point 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.
