Re: Aironet 350 w/ Corrupt Software

tylerroach · ‎06-21-2004

I have just purchased a Aironet 350 off of Ebay that has corrupt software. I can talk to the unit with the serial interface but I do not know how I can recover the unit.

Ideas?

Hi there,

Try the link below. I'm sure you can find a few wais to recover the unit. You can also upgrade it to IOS.

Good luck,

Try and reset the unit first and then follow the menu you get on the console to do the upgrade. The sw upgrade is under Settings/Cisco services/

Here is how to reset the unit:

I would love to reset it to the default but there isn't enough software in there to get that far. Here is what the terminal reads when it boots.

Your far better off than me. I accidently erased the AP install key.

Anyhow, you'll need to upload the software via xmodem.
