Performing AP Maintenance

From the Maintenance page, you can reset the AP to its factory default settings or reboot the AP.

Resetting the Factory Default Configuration

If you are experiencing problems with the UAP and have tried all other troubleshooting measures, click Reset. This
restores factory defaults and clears all settings, including settings such as a new password or wireless settings. You
can also use the reset button on the back panel to reset the system to the default configuration.

Rebooting the Access Point

For maintenance purposes or as a troubleshooting measure, you can reboot the UAP. To reboot the AP, click the
Reboot button on the Configuration page.

Upgrading the Firmware

As new versions of the UAP firmware become available, you can upgrade the firmware on your devices to take
advantage of new features and enhancements. The AP uses a TFTP client for firmware upgrades. You can also use
HTTP to perform firmware upgrades.
After you upload new firmware and the system reboots, the newly added firmware becomes the primary image. If the
upgrade fails, the original firmware remains as the primary image.
Note: When you upgrade the firmware, the access point retains the existing configuration
information.
Use the following steps to upgrade the firmware on an access point by using TFTP:
1.) Select TFTP for Upload Method.
