You can reset the device to factory default either by pressing a reset button for 30 seconds when power is supplied to the access point or through configurator interface. For more information about reset button, see Using the Reset Button.

Note	A hard reset reverts all device configuration settings, including the device IP address and administrator password to factory defaults. Instead if you want to reboot the device, see Reboot the Device using GUI.

1. In the MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, click reset factory default.

   

2. Click YES in the confirmation pop-up window. To abort the factory reset, click NO.

3. If you have previously saved a configuration file for the device, you can restore the saved configuration settings to the device, see Save and restore the device settings.

Note	Do not perform a hard reset unless the device requires reconfiguration using its factory configuration as the starting point. Hard reset resets the device's IP address, administrator password, and it disconnects the device from the network.

To reboot the device's operating system, follow these steps:

1. In the MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, click reboot.

   

2. In the confirmation pop-up window, click Yes. To abort the reboot, click No.

Device#reload
Proceed with reload command (cold)? [confirm] 

The LOAD OR RESTORE SETTINGS window allows you to perform the following tasks:

• Save the device's existing software configuration as a configuration (*.conf) file.

• Upload and apply a saved configuration file to the current device.

  Note	Device software configuration (*.conf) files are not interchangeable with IW Service configuration setup (*.iwconf) files.

  Tip	Saved configuration files are reused for all devices of the same type. These saved configuration files act as configuration backup files to speed up redeployment if you need to replace the damaged device with a new device of the same type.

To download the device's existing configuration settings to your computer, follow these steps:

1. In the MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, click configuration settings.

   The LOAD OR RESTORE SETTINGS window appears.

   

2. Click Save to download the device configuration (*.conf).

To upload a saved configuration file to the device, follow these steps:

1. Click Browse to upload the configuration (*.conf) file to the device.

2. Click Restore to apply the configuration settings to the device.

To change the General Mode settings, follow these steps:

1. In the GENERAL SETTINGS, click general mode.

   

The General Mode has the operational mode controls. Devices capable of operating in a mesh radio network are shipped in mesh point mode.

Note	When designing the required network layout, there must be at least one mesh end device. This device performs control and administrative functions, such as license management. This is necessary for correct network operation, even if the network consists of only two devices.

To change the device's operational mode, select any one of the following mode:

• Gateway - This mode is applicable for advanced Layer 3 mobility deployments, and it is not used in most networks.

• Mesh Point - This mode is applicable for the remaining access points in the network. These access points establish links to other access points with the same network passphrase configured as mesh end or mesh point using wireless links or wired links. In this scenario, the access point has Layer 2 visibility of other access points.

• Mesh End - This mode configures the access point to perform control and administrative network functions. There must be at least one mesh end in each network. This access point is typically installed in the most central point where the wireless and wired networks converge.

To configure the access point locally (without connecting to a wired LAN), connect the computer to the access point’s console port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable and to open the CLI by connecting to the access point’s console port, follow these steps:

1. Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 serial port on the access point and to the COM port on a computer.

2. Set up a terminal emulator to communicate with the access point. In the terminal emulator, use the following settings:

   Parameter	Value
   Baud rate	115200 bps
   Data	Eight bits
   Parity	No
   Stop	One stop bit
   Flow Control	No

3. There are two available command-prompt modes: standard command prompt (>) and privileged command prompt (#). When logged in for the first time, it directs you to standard command prompt (>) mode to execute unprivileged commands.

   To access privileged command-prompt (#) mode, enter the enable command (abbreviated as en) and enter the enable password (the privilege mode login password is different from the standard login password).

   Use these default credentials to log in:

   • Username: Cisco

   • Password: Cisco

   Note	Once the initial configuration completes, ensure to remove the serial cable from the access point.
