- cisco340 reset to factory defaults
- Posted by tg on May 13th, 2008
I have a cisco 340 access point that will not respond to the reset
button on the back. Do these buttons actually work or are they just a
leftover from an earlier chassis? Is there some special way to reset
using this button?
My 340AP is in a right mess and I need to reset it. When I start the
CLI in hyperterminal I get:
System ID: 004096329D29
Motherboard: MPC860 50MHz, 2048KB FLASH, 16384KB DRAM, Revision 21
Bootstrap Ver. 1.01: FLASH, CRC AB31F5C0 (OK)
Initialization: Improper Motherboard Config
so I click l for l -- downLoad file into DRAM and then I get
l
Using Xmodem
(type <ctrl-X> to cancel)
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC.
how long is this ccc thing supposed to go on for?
is there any other way to get this AP back to factory defaults?
thanks for any help.

The C's are supposed to go on till the download is done.
It would go faster if the console were set to 115200 bps
rather than 9600.

ok thanks Aaron. During this strange 'CCCC...' behaviour where is the
Cisco actually downloading from? Does it have it's own backup
somewhere inside the AP? How long does this process normally take -
mine has been going for over an hour and it just keeps generating
endless C's. Again thanks for your advice.

it's okay now Aaron I've done it at last.
finally got this AP to reset and now it's working.
