Aironet 350 reset to factory config over vacation.

I have an Aironet 350 non-root bridge that was reset back to its factory default configuration over a 5 day period of inactivity (Christmas vacation). I didn't set it up, so I can't say too much about how it was configured before except that it was running 12.0 firmware.
I have upgraded it to 12.04 and reconfigured it and it seems to be running fine.
Any ideas on what could have caused this? Could I have had a security breach?

That could be very likely. Are you using a default configuration for security, or have you turned user-manager on and added a management username/password. Note that someone could have potentially done this via SNMP also.

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. Any suggestions?

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. However I can then take my DSL cord and insert it in a different Ethernet port other than the WAN port and I can get internet on my Mac and iphones but only wifi on my husband's PC. I hate to spend another $179 if this is just something I'm doing wrong. Please help

I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.

Aironet 350~~ Help Factory Settings must be RESTORED

Hello,
I am the proud and happy new owner of the Cico Aironet 350 wireless access point. Now the issue (acquired by the company's buyout of another one), needless to say when I get it there is no username/passwords included. Just the cable/power supply and the wireless access point it self. Has anyone here ever worked with this unit before and if you have, do you know how to reset to the factory defaults?

Hi Joshua,
Here is the method to do a factory reset;
Reset the AP 350 That Runs Cisco IOS Software
Complete the steps in this section in order to reset an AP 350 that runs Cisco IOS Software.
Note: Cisco IOS Software-based APs have a default configuration that includes a username and password combination. Both the username and password are "Cisco", which is case-sensitive. After you reset to factory defaults, be prepared to give "Cisco" as both the username and password when you are prompted by either the GUI or the CLI.
The AP350 does not have a MODE button to reset the AP to factory defaults. So, if neither the GUI or CLI is available with sufficient privileges in the AP350, complete these steps to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to the factory defaults using the CLI.
Reboot the access point by removing power and reapplying power. Let the access point boot until the command prompt appears and the access point begins to inflate the image. When you see these lines on the CLI, press ESC: Loading "flash:/" ...########################################################################### ################################################################################ ################################################################################ ####################
Once you press ESC, this information is displayed on the CLI screen..

My Windows 7 laptop had to be reset to factory settings and iTunes was wiped. I have all my songs and playlists on my iPod. Is there anyway to transfer the songs back over, but storing the number of plays I have and carrying across my playlists too?

My laptop had a few problems and it had to be reset to factory settings. Meaning my iTunes was wiped clean and I had to reinstall it. My previous iTunes (and current iPod nano) has 13 playlists, over 2000 songs and a record of plays going back 2 years (which i would like back since a lot of my playlists are play based).
I've followed guides online, and i've managed to get my songs from my iPod to my computer and thus onto iTunes again. But neither the play count, nor the playlists are transferring with these methods.
Considering when I first bought this laptop I had to redo all my playlists and I KNOW how time consuming and bloody annoying it was I'd rather not do it again.
Is there anyone that can give me a step by step guide of how to do this?
I would GREATLY appreciate this, as at current i'm refusing to sync my iPod again as I am so desperate to cling onto the playlists and plays I have, which means no new songs...
Please help if you can.

The Ipod works fine.
Battery charges regularly with the occasional glitch.
Running iTunes 11.1.1.11
I figured a Nano would probably connect in a simpler way than the touch, but only have a couple computers and cables to test.
I've reinstalled iTunes, but not the full suite, and not all traces. I will attempt this, but I suspect its related to my touch. I was able to connect other iphones to my itunes without issue, using the same cable.

Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge Problem

I have inherited a wireless link between two building that used a pair of Aironet 350 wireless bridges. I say used because one took a lightning strike and is fried. I need to see the configuration on the remaining bridge to set up the new bridge but no one knows the user name or password to access the remaining functioning 350. How do I reset this old buzzard? I have tried all the instructions I have found on this site and others. There is no reset button. I found this out by disassembling another Aironet 350 we had which has also taken a strike. I cannot set up the new 1300 without knowing the config of what it will be talking to. I have been able to connect to the 350 with a serial cable and I can see some of the information. But the only thing I get is the ip address for fe0. I have attached the file I captured to this post. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

If you know the IP of the 350, put a laptop on the same subnet and use a crossover cable to web to its GUI. VxWorks CLI sucks!
If you can get hold of a pair of 1231 APs, they can be configured to run in bridge mode and use the same antennas as the 350s. Benefits are IOS and G radios.

IPhone 4s update was interrupted and message said phone had to be reset to factory settings. Lost all photos from phone in process of transferring to pc. Copy of my backup overroad that phone and all the old data and photos are gone.

My boyfriend and I share an iTunes account. I just tried to update his phone and during the update an error message occurred saying that his phone had to be reset to factory settings. It said it was an un setup phone and needed plugged in to iTunes. With no other choice, we had to select reset to factory settings. Now, my phone backup through iCloud downloaded onto his and all of his contacts and photos were overridden by mine. His photos were in process of transferring from the phone to the pc while this occurred and over 900 of them were complete when this happened. They don't show up on the pc now either since the sycn wasn't finished. Is there a way to get them back? When we plug his phone in now it shows my name instead of his so I'm not sure how to get to an old version of his backups even.

Error -1 indicates a hardware issue with the device.
Read here > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The device should still have warranty but unfortunately any service needs to be done in the US.

Is it possible for you to send the device home and have a family member take it to the Apple Store?

Aironet 350 Failure...Twice

A couple of months ago, I installed three Aironet 350 Bridges, each connected to directional antenna via LMR400 cable. The directionals are pointed towards an access point at the front of the campus. After abou 36-48 hours of use, the ethernet ports on the bridges locks up, and actually dies in two of the instances. I figured that it was a bad group of bridges, so we replaced them with three more, only to have two of the replacements do the exact same thing. When the port crashes, the red light comes on and stays on, even after you remove the rj45 connector. Afterwards, you are unable to access the bridge via a browser, so there is little means of troubleshooting available. I haven't had a lot of luck with the reseller, and this customer has been down since March!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Aside from on-site consulting (possibly on a contingency basis), I can only suggest that you pull it all into a lab, check all the configs, upgrade all the firmware and confirm that it's reliable before putting it back in.

AIRONET 350 - Duplicating configuration to a replacement

I have a problem with one of our AP it's a aironet 350, what is the easiest way to copy it's configuration to a replacement device of the same type.
I have just took over from out wireless guy who is off long term sick and I'm in at the deepend.
Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,
I have actually never tried this myself, but here is a good doc that discusses this process. Maybe somebody else will weigh in as well :)
Working with Configuration Files
This section describes how to create, load, and maintain configuration files. Configuration files contain commands entered to customize the function of the Cisco IOS software. To better benefit from these instructions, your access point contains a minimal default running configuration for interacting with the system software.
You can copy (download) configuration files from a TFTP, FTP, or RCP server to the running configuration of the access point for various reasons:
To restore a backed-up configuration file.
To use the configuration file for another access point. For example, you might add another access point to your network and want it to have a configuration similar to the original access point. By copying the file to the new access point, you can change the relevant parts rather than recreating the whole file.
To load the same configuration commands on all the access points in your network so that all the access points have similar configurations.
You can copy (upload) configuration files from the access point to a file server by using TFTP, FTP, or RCP. You might perform this task to back up a current configuration file to a server before changing its contents so that you can later restore the original configuration file from the server.
From this AP350 doc;

Aironet 350 client adapters

I have some Aironet 350 PCI cards fitted to some Compaq P4 desktop computers running WinXP Pro. These computers are part of a Domain and log in automatically using a few registry changes. This is the problem.
When the machines log in the Wireless adapters have not finished their authentication and have not received a new IP address, but the machine still logs in. I need to make the machine wait for the Aironet card to finish it's authentication or start the authentication process earlier. Has anyone got any ideas.
Many thanks for your time.
Mike

I have tested this with APs config'd with Network-EAP and Open-Require EAP. In this scenario Max Assoc does not prevent attempted associations by non-LEAP-enabled clients, which are locally authenticated (associated but unauthenticated) and claim one of the allocated associations. This can effectively block legitimate client associations/authentications. I think that local MAC filtering is the only override, and/or disabling Open authentication (forcing LEAP). Using the ACS, you can create or map External DB Users to ACS Groups and limit their access to certain NAS (AP) entries.

E3000 needs to be restarted regularly, sometimes resets to factory default

My E3000 needs to be restarted at least once a week. Pings to the router will slowly lag over time and reach 700+ after several days from my wired desktop. Sometimes during the restart the router will also reset to factory default settings.
So far I've installed the 1.0.02 (build 4) firmware and done the restart while holding the button. The new firmware has greatly improved my wireless performance but I have no idea what to do next.

Follow the below mentioned settings and then check.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter. Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case. Click on the Wireless tab > Click on Advanced Wireless Settings Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings.

Configuring wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI

I'm not a newbie in linux but now faced with a trouble. I could not manage to set up the card properly. I just installed Arch 0.8 and it's not quite clear to me how to do this with Arch. I've read all available Arch's docs on this topic.
So my situation's the following:
I have the wireless card Cisco Aironet 350 PCI and I've been using it with Slackware for a year. It works quite fine. But now, when I decided to move to Arch - I cannot set it up. My card's using `airo` module and it is loading well. All the present network devices are recognized. I can see this by ifconfig -a.
I have 2 NICs in my system:
1) simple Ethernet card - eth0. Is switched off in rc.conf
2) wireless. There are 2 different devices for it in my system: eth1 and wifi0 (and it's correct). I don't know why is it so and how about this with other wireless cards.
For example I placed here network configs from my Slackware which works well with them and expect your advice on how to do the same with Arch.
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:
##IPADDR[0]="" #wired NIC is off
##NETMASK[0]=""
##USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
##DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

Who is aware - please describe or give me a link on this, how the two devises eth1 and wifi0 are connected to each other and how to set them up in Arch.
Thnx.

Excellent! It works! Thank U very much.
My conclusion - /etc/network-profiles/ is much more suitable way/place to set your wireless network parameters even it's quite steady.
And now I have a couple of extra questions:
1) What should I do with actual network parameters in rc.conf? Currently they looks like:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
NET_PROFILES=(tier)
and that looks and works OK. What about gateway? Should I comment it here or not?
2)Though everything works fine now, I can see that wifi0 device is not listed by ifconfig now (only by iwconfig), but in my Slackware system it is. Don't have I to mention my wifi0 device in network profile's section:
#WIFI_INTERFACE=wlan0 # use this if you have a special wireless interface
# that is linked to the real $INTERFACE
Thnx!
And sorry for ugly English

My phone screen is cracked and my LCD is broken. I need to reset to factory settings before I discard it, how can I do this? I was able to get it into recovery mode, I unconnected it from my Find my iPhone (i couldn't erase that way because I can't connect to WIFI with the screen not working). I clicked restore iPhone from iTunes, but it's been sitting on "Contacting the iPhone software update server..." for over 40 minutes. Should I restart this process or is it supposed to take a really long time? Thanks!

My phone LCD is broken and I need to reset to factory settings before I discard it like how you did earlier but how do you got into recovery mode to unconnected it from your Find My iPhone as I can't connect to WIFI with the screen not working?

Devices not found despite resetting to factory settings

The dvd drive on my laptop is no longer recognised in device manager despite carrying out a reset to factory settings and the webcam is also no longer recongised and cannot be seen in device manager. I had hoped that the reset would resolve these issues and general lack of performance.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can regain use of the DVD drive and webca,? The laptop is over 4 years old so i expect some issues but hoepfully someone knows how to fix these.
Thansk

Yes you need to replace both items. What model laptop is it? The dvd burner drive and the webcam will not be very expensive and are fairly easy to replace.

IPhone 5 asks to reset to factory settings when I synchronize.

The iPhone "button" no longer appears i iTunes making it impossible to sync through wifi. When I then hook up my iPhone 5 to my Mac it says that it can't charge with the present hardware and asks to reset to factory settings. I thought that might solve the problem so I did it but it keeps having the problem. And then when it does synchronize it doesn't sync everything. Unhooking and trying again prompts the same problem and I have to start all over.
This problem came overnight. Any thoughts anyone?

there would be ways but they would be slightly illegal. this is because your apple and icloud ID is what wirelessly stores your music apps etc.
otherwise everybody would do that and only one person would bave to buy apps and the whole world could get them.
the only option would be to record the songs being played on a camera and record them back to an iPod.
but for your own well-being and my own morale please don't do that!
