Introducing the Web Configurator
The management session automatically times out when the time period set in the
Administrator Inactivity Timer
field expires (default five minutes). Simply log back into
the ZyAIR if this happens to you.
2.2
Resetting the ZyAIR
If you forget your password or cannot access the ZyAIR, you will need to reload the factory-default
configuration file or use the
RESET
button on the top panel of the ZyAIR. Uploading this configuration file
replaces the current configuration file with the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will
lose all configurations that you had previously. The password will be reset to “1234”, also.
2.2.1 Method of Restoring Factory-Defaults
You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in three ways:
1.
Use the
RESET
button on the top panel of the ZyAIR to upload the default configuration file (hold this
button in for about 10 seconds or until the Link LED turns red). Use this method for cases when the
password or IP address of the ZyAIR is not known.
2.
Use the web configurator to restore defaults (refer to the chapter on maintenance).
3.
Transfer the configuration file to your ZyAIR using FTP. See
