Bridge Connection
Reset the bridge

Resetting the Cisco bridges depends on the model. The 350 Series bridge, commonly referred to as the BR350, can be reset via the console, telnet, or browser connection. If the password is unknown, then the console reset method is required. The console port on the BR350 is shown in Figure . The :resetall command can be used after rebooting the bridge, however the command must be entered within 2 minutes of rebooting.

The 350 Series Workgroup Bridge or the 1400 series bridge can be reset to default values via the Reset button, telnet, or browser connection. If the password is unknown, then the Reset button method is required. On the WGB350, the Reset button, also called the Mode button, is a small hole on the back panel located near the power port. On the 1400, the Reset button is located on the back panel of the power injector. To activate the Reset button, insert a straightened paper clip into the small hole and press as directed by the instructions below. Notice that the WGB350 and the BR1400 do not have a console port and must be configured through telnet or web browser.

Follow these steps to reset the access point to factory default settings using the access point MODE button :

Step 1 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the access point.
Step 2 Press and hold the MODE button while power is reconnected to the access point.
Step 3 Hold the MODE button until the Status LED turns amber (approximately 1 to 2 seconds), and release the button. All access point settings return to factory defaults.

The 1400 follows the same process, however the mode button is located on the 1400 series power injector .

The default settings for the 350 Series bridges are shown in Figure and . The 1400 defaults to 10.0.0.1 as well.
