Converting Back to aW-IAP
The reset button located on the rear of aW-IAP can be used to reset the W-IAP to factory default
settings. If you have converted your W-IAP to a campus AP or a Remote AP, pressing the reset
button converts it back to aW-IAP.
To reset aW-IAP, follow the instructions below:
1. Power off the W-IAP.
2. Press and hold the reset button using a small, narrow object, such as a paperclip.
3. Power on the W-IAP without releasing the reset button. The power LED flashes within 5
seconds indicating that the reset is completed.
4. Release the reset button.
The W-IAP then boots with the factory default settings.
NOTE: All APs have a reset button, except W-IAP175P and W-IAP175AC. Contact Dell
support for the backward conversion process on these W-IAPs.
