Step 4 Close the recess with the screw and the gasket. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screw to 1.8 to
2 lb.ft (2.49 to 2.71 Nm).
To use the Reset button, press, and keep pressed, the Reset button on the access point during the AP boot
cycle. Wait until the AP status LED changes to Amber. During this, the AP console shows a seconds
counter, counting the number of seconds the Reset button is pressed. Then:
• To reset the AP to it’s default factory-shipped configuration, keep the Reset button pressed for less
than 20 seconds. The AP configuration files are cleared.
This resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP
address, and the SSID.
• To clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files and the regulatory domain
configuration, keep the Reset button pressed for more than 20 seconds, but less than 60 seconds.
The AP status LED changes from Amber to Red, and all the files in the AP storage directory are
cleared.
If you keep the Reset button pressed for more than 60 seconds, the Reset button is assumed faulty and
no changes are made.
