abdel_n · ‎05-03-2006

Hi all,

Any changes to the configuration of AP 350 through http is followed by "The page requested is no longer valid. Please click "here" to continue working from the Summary Status page"

And from the console port i cannot reset to the factory default configuration because i cannot brake the IOS (12.0) inflating and i'm getting this:

If I remember rightly there's a pin reset button on a 350, look for a small hole near the ethernet port. Power the 350 off, poke the point of a pen into the hole, power on, wait 10-15 seconds until the middle LED goes steady orange and release the button. AP should then be reset to factory defaults.

My AP350 have no reset hole and i couldnt interrupt the IOS (12.0) inflating but i've resolved this issue as follow:

Connect to AP 350 through the console port and from the Summary Status screen:

1. When the memory files are listed under the heading Memory:File, press CTRL-W within five seconds in order to reach the boot block menu.

2. Complete these steps in order to copy the AP installation key to the AP DRAM:

a. Press C in order to choose Copy file.

b. Press 1 in order to choose DRAM.

c. Press the selection letter for AP Installation Key.

Note: If the list of configuration files contains the file VAR Installation Key, you must copy that file to DRAM along with the installation key. In order to copy the VAR installation key to DRAM, press C in order to choose Copy file, press 1 in order to choose DRAM, and press the selection letter for the VAR Installation Key.

3. Complete these steps in order to reformat the AP configuration memory:

a. Press CTRL-Z and press ! in order to choose FORMAT memory bank from the available options.

b. Press 2 in order to choose Config.

c. Press Y in order to confirm the FORMAT command.

4. Complete these steps in order to copy the installation key back to the configuration memory:

a. Press C in order to choose Copy file.

b. Press 2 in order to choose Config.

c. Press the selection letter for AP Installation Key.

5. In order to run the AP firmware, press R in order to choose Run.

Select the letter for the firmware file that displays. This message appears while the AP starts the firmware:

Inflating firmware file name

6. When the Express Setup screen appears, begin to reconfigure the AP with the terminal emulator or an Internet browser.
