This section helps you locate problems related to the AP device setup. For details about RADIUS, TFTP, serial 
communication programs (such as HyperTerminal), Telnet applications, or web browsers, please refer to the 
documentation that came with the application for assistance. 

The following list identifies important troubleshooting concepts and topics. The most common initialization and 
installation problems relate to IP addressing. For example, you must have valid IP addresses for both the AP and the 
management computer to access the unit’s HTTP interface.
•

IP Address management is fundamental. 

•

Factory default units are set for “Dynamic” (DHCP) IP Address assignment. The default IP address for the AP 
is 10.0.0.1 if your network does not have a DHCP server. If you connect the AP to a network with an active DHCP 
server, then use ScanTool to locate the IP address of your unit. If a DHCP server is not active on your subnet, then 
use ScanTool to assign a static IP address to the unit.

•

The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) provides a means to download and upload files. These files include 
the AP Image (executable program) and configuration files. 

•

If the AP password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset to default values. The 

 resets configuration, but does not change the current AP Image. 

•

If all else fails… Use the 

 to erase the current AP Image and then download a new 

image. Once the new image is loaded, use the 

 to set the unit to factory default 

values and reconfigure the unit.

•

The AP Supports a Command Line Interface (CLI). If you are having trouble locating your AP on the network, 
connect to the unit directly using the serial interface and refer to 

 for CLI 

command syntax and parameter names.
