Wireless-G Exterior Access Point

The Reset Button and Ground

The Access Point's Reset button and ground are located on the back panel.

Reset Button

There are two ways to Reset the Access Point's factory defaults. Either press the Reset
button, for approximately ten seconds, or restore the defaults using the Access Point's Web-
based Utility.

Ground

Before you mount the Access Point, you must ground the Access Point (to a large piece of
metal) as a precaution against electric shock.

IMPORTANT: Resetting the Access Point will
erase all of your settings (including wireless
security, IP address, and power output) and
replace them with the factory defaults. Do not
reset the Access Point if you want to retain
these settings.
