18 AP 7161 Access Point Installation Guide
AP 7161 Factory Reset Hardware Button
An AP 7161 can be physically reset using the factory reset hardware button. The button is located inside the reset
port on the bottom of the unit.
NOTE This option is not supported by all AP 7161 software releases. Refer to the release
notes for the appropriate software.
The reset button is only enabled for a ten second interval as the unit boots up. It can be accessed by removing the
cover screw using a ratchet driver and a #2 Phillips head adapter. Push the button to reset the access point.
Confirm that the reset cycle was completed and replace the cover screw.
To perform an external hardware reset and restore the access point default settings:
1. Using a #2 phillips screwdriver, remove the cover screw from the external reset port.
2. Gently press and hold the reset button.
3. If any of LEDs 2 through 6 are active, it indicates that the unit has booted successfully and the operational
software is running.
LED Indicators
The AP 7161 access point has six LEDs on the top of the access point housing.
The access point utilizes two different colored lights below each LED. Only one light displays within an LED at any
given time. Every light within each LED is exercised during startup to allow the user to see if an LED is not
functioning. The LEDs turn on and off while rotating in a circular pattern. Since two LEDs feed each light pipe, the
pattern is from left to right (LEDs 1 through 6), then right to left (LEDs 6 through 1).
