8.4 Factory Reset
A factory reset will delete all configuration settings that have been applied to an AP. This
includes the initial configuration applied to commission the AP so that it will connect to its
serving AP Management System, and all configuration changes downloaded from the AP
Management System. Therefore, executing a factory reset will mean that the AP will not be
able to provide service until it is recommissioned from a commissioning terminal and
subsequently re-obtains its configuration from the AP Management System.
Note: If the reset button is pressed for less than 5 seconds, the AP will reboot. It will not return to
the factory reset state.
8.4.1 nano3G S4 AP and nano3G S8 AP Factory Reset
To perform a factory reset, use a thin rod to press and hold the reset button for more than 5
seconds.
The Service LED will blink fast (50ms on, 50ms off) until the factory reset commences, then
it will start to blink slowly (200ms on, 200ms off). When the factory restore process has
completed, the LED will extinguish and the AP will automatically reboot, take the fixed IP
address and enable the web interface for commissioning. See section 5 for the
commissioning procedure.
WARNING
Only use the reset button to return the AP to factory reset state as a last resort, such
as when the AP does not connect to the AP Management System. After a factory
reset, the AP will need to be commissioned again, as in section 5.3.
