Reloading the Access Point Image
Using the Web Browser Interface
Follow these steps to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to the factory
defaults using the web browser interface.
Step 1 Open your Internet browser.
Note When using the access point browser interface, you should disable your browser pop-up blocker.
Step 2 Enter the access point’s IP address in the browser address line and press Enter. An Enter Network
Password page displays.
Step 3 At the prompt, enter the administrator username and password. The default username is Cisco and the
default password is Cisco. The username and password are case sensitive. The Summary Status page
displays.
Step 4 Click System Software and the System Software page displays.
Step 5 Click System Configuration and the System Configuration page displays.
Step 6 Click the Reset to Defaults button.
Note If the access point is configured with a static IP address, the IP address does not change.
Step 7 After the access point reboots, you must reconfigure the access point by using the Web browser interface,
the Telnet interface, or Cisco IOS commands.
Reloading the Access Point Image
If your access point has a firmware failure, you must reload the complete access point image file using
the Web browser interface or by using the MODE button (see Figure 3-4). You can use the browser
interface if the access point firmware is still fully operational and you want to upgrade the firmware
image. However, you can use the MODE button when the access point has a corrupt firmware image.
Using the MODE Button
You can use the MODE button on the access point to reload the access point image file from an active
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on your network or on a PC connected to the access point
Ethernet port.
Note If your access point experiences a firmware failure or a corrupt firmware image, indicated by the Status
LED turning an amber color, you must reload the image from a connected TFTP server.
Note This process resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the
access point IP address, and SSIDs.
