Reboot and Reset the WAP125 and WAP581
to Factory Default Settings
Objective
Rebooting or restarting the Wireless Access Point (WAP) deletes the logs stored in the
volatile memory. This process is performed when certain changes in the settings need a
reboot or if the WAP is not responding or booting up properly. Resetting the WAP to factory
default settings, on the other hand, erases all configurations that have been set by the user,
and restores the device to its original settings. A reset is recommended if most of the WAP
settings need to be reconfigured.
