Cisco Cisco Aironet 1530i Outdoor Access Point Installation Guide

Resetting an AP to its default factory-shipped configuration, resets the regulatory domain of the AP 
back to ‘-UX’. This means, when you reset a primed universal AP, via either software or hardware 
methods, the AP becomes unprimed.

You can unprime and reset a primed universal AP in the following ways:

Via WLC software –

In the WLC GUI choose Wireless > Access Points > All APs, click the AP name, and then click 
Clear All Config.

On the controller CLI enter the clear ap config <Cisco-AP-name> command.

Via AP hardware – Press and hold the Mode/Reset button (for about 2 to 3 seconds) until the 
status LED changes to Amber. Then release the button.

Via Autonomous AP's software – 

In the AP's GUI, go to the Summary Status page. Click Software and the System Software 
screen appears. Click Reset to Defaults.

In the AP CLI, starting in privileged EXEC mode:

Enter erase nvram

Enter write default-config.

Enter Y when the following CLI message is displayed:
Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all configuration files! Continue? [confirm].

Enter reload when the following CLI message is displayed. This command reloads the 
operating system:
Erase of nvram: complete.

Enter Y when the following CLI message is displayed:
Proceed with reload? [confirm].
