3e Technologies International Inc. 527A3 User Manual

The System Administration—Configuration Button screen is used in 

conjunction with the physical Configuration/RESET button which is ac-

cessible from the outside of the 3e–527A3 unit. The Configuration/RESET 

button is located directly under the number “1” on the front panel. Use a 

plastic wire wrap or something similar and slide it in-between the gray 

panel and the Ethernet jack (RJ-45 jack) at an angle so that the tip touches 

the button hidden under the number “1”. You will know you have located 

the Configuration/RESET button when you push and “feel” a click.

NOTE: A metal paper clip is not recommended as it may damage the 

reset switch and after time the switch will not be water resistant anymore.

In order to minimize the administration effort of the AP, the external 

RESET button has been converted into a configuration button to perform 

certain functions. This configuration button is programmed to perform 

the following operations.

•  Send the configuration file to other APs that are connected to 

ports 1-6 and the PoE/Uplink port (requires a password)

Note that the configuration file transfer only goes to devices that 

are connected to the Ethernet ports. The configuration does not 

get transferred to devices connected wirelessly or through the 

Encrp port.

•  Normal Reset (hold button for five seconds then release, see de-

tails below)

•  Factory Default (hold button for 10 seconds then release, see de-

tails below)

The System Administration—Configuration Button screen is where 

you can enable the configuration button. The configuration button is 

disabled by default and doesn't have a password. Once the button is en-

abled, a password must be entered (not needed for reset or factory default 

functions). In order to perform a configuration transfer, you must enter 

the password (8 digits between 1-9).
