Reboot and Factory Default Reset on

WAP121 and WAP321 Access Points

Objective

This article explains how to perform a standard reboot and also how to reset to factory

default on the WAP121 and WAP321 access points. Reboot or restart of the network

device is made when certain changes in the settings need a reboot or if the device is

frozen. Consequences of reboot will result in the deletion of logs in volatile memory.

The configuration settings of the network device gets reflected after the restart. Factory

default reset is used to remove the running/current configuration settings on the

network device and to restore it to the original default settings. Factory default reset is

recommended when the whole device needed to be reconfigured and also in case if

you forget the password and not able to recover by any means such as telnet.
