Reset and Restore the Access Point

Resetting the Access Point

Resetting the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point clears statistics and restores the last saved configuration. If you make unsaved changes, the access point clears those changes and restores the last saved configuration on reset.

  1. Select Special Functions from the Main Menu.
  2. Select Reset AP.

The access point LEDs flash as if powering up and return to a STATUS-flashing state.

Restoring the Factory Configuration

If the access point fails to communicate due to improper settings, you can return it to its factory default configuration. The behavior of the factory reset depends on the DHCP setting for the access point. Refer to the following table to see how the reset for configuration settings and statistics are affected. 

DHCP Disabled

All access point configuration and statistics are reset, except the Access Point Installation screen.

DHCP Enabled

All access point configuration and statistics are reset.

To restore factory configuration

  1. Select Special Functions from the Main Menu.
  2. Select Restore Factory Configuration. The access point erases all configuration information and replaces it with the factory configuration.
NOTE: When the factory configuration is restored, the Access Control List (ACL) list is not erased.
