Mode button disabled on access points

I'm working with a customer that has several Cisco 1230s with the mode button disabled. Is there anyway to recover these access points? The previous admin changed the usernames/passwords on the access points before leaving, and now we cannot reset the access points with the mode button to reconfigure them.

The AP MODE button is configured from your Cisco Wireless LAN Controller.
On the WLC use the following commands:
1) config ap rst-button enable /all
2) show ap config general
Where access-point-name is the name that identifies the access point on the WLC

  • What is the WPS button on my access point?  I am trying to setup wirelessly with a canon MX892 printer

    Printer setup instructions say to press the WPS  button on the access point (my 4th gen Time Capsule).  Does that mean hit reset and will I have to setup every other device again by doing that?

    No, do not hit reset .. it is not a WPS button.
    Apple products do not use WPS, so no WPS button is needed. And they have no need to implement one.. nothing exists outside the Apple bubble.. didn't you know that??
    Read the forum expert Tesserax instructions for using WPS. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16034147#16034147
    But it is better to plug in your printer to a mac by usb and use the disk provided to do a full manual setup of wireless.. WPS is simply the easy way.

  • What is the WPS button of my access point?

    HELP! What is the WPS button of my access point?

    The WPS button is what allows the printer to be recognized by the router. Sometimes it's a real hardware button and sometimes it's a software button. The instructions got your router/AP will tell you.
    This may help: http://usa.canon.com/app/html/web_tutorial/WiFi-MX870_350/
    Its pretty generic.

  • Does disabling all access points turn off the WiFi radio on Cisco SA520W

    As per the title - does disabling all access points turn off the WiFi radio on Cisco SA520W?  Thanks!

    Hi Denny,
    Yes, if you disable all available Access Points configured on your SA520W, then your radio should be off.

  • How can we disable the OSX Access Point functionality without disabling all wifi.

    Curious if anyone knows a way in Lion/Mountain Lion to disable the OSX access point features.
    i have about 50+ macs in our company for iOS development. lately we've had a lot of rogue AP's showing up, people bridging the internal network by activating the "become a hotspot" feature in OSX. this is a *GREAT* feature, don't get me wrong. especially the latency and ease of use.. but in our case its causing problems, and i'm looking at a way to disable the AP features without disabling ALL wifi with something like.
    /usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower en1 off
    this is a bit too much ,it disables the entire airport/wifi. we want to only disable the access point capabilities.
    any hardcore guru's out there have some advise?
    TIA!

    Enabling sharing services requires administrative access, so one option is to set this and only give folks standard "managed" access. The Internet Sharing service is a process called "InternetSharing" that runs as the root user and establishes all the appropriate services for the needed connection. You could technically remove or even rename this process on systems to prevent it from being used, or remove or disable its launch daemon. These files are in the following directories:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.InternetSharing.plist
    /usr/libexec/InternetSharing

  • Access Points Joining 3850 next generation switches

    It's my understanding that APs can join 3850s if and only if the APs are directly connected to ports on the 3850 next generation device.
    Can someone point me to where this is explained?

    CB90021204 - APs indirectly connected to a 3850 (connected to a downstream switch) will not join the 3850
    Q. Does the Cisco Catalyst 3850 support indirectly connected access points?
    A. No. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch will always terminate the CAPWAP  tunnel locally. Pass-through mode or indirectly connected access point  is not supported at this time.

  • Indirectly Connected Access points

    Hi all, i'm just after a little clarification.
    According to the Cisco 3850 QA sheet, (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps12686/qa_c67-722110.html), this unit does not support indirectly connected AP's.
    Q.
    Does the Cisco Catalyst 3850 support indirectly connected access points?
    A. No. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch will always terminate the CAPWAP tunnel locally. Pass-through mode or indirectly connected access point is not supported at this time.
    What doesnt make sense to me is that i can buy 50 AP licenses per switch/wlc so i don't understand how i am going to attach these AP's to the 3850.
    In our current setup we have a 5508 connected to a Cat4506 with all the AP's connected to an "AP vlan" on the Cat4506 - fairly typical setup i imagine.
    We couldnt have each AP connected directly to the 3850 do to cabling and multiple buildings.
    Any clarification would be appreciated,
    Cheers,

    the asnwer to that is a bit farther down.
    Q.
    How is the access point count license managed across a Cisco Catalyst 3850 stack?
    A. The total access point count license of a Cisco Catalyst 3850 stack is equal to the sum of all the individual member access point count licenses, up to a maximum of 50 access points. When new members are added to the stack, the total access point count license of the stack is automatically recalculated. When members are removed from the stack, the access point count license does not decrement until a reload of the stack.
    teh 3850 is designed to have AP's terminate in the closets vs coming all the way back to the core.

  • Need to disable AP mode multicast in 1231 series access point

    Hi
    I have one controller 2504 and some 1200 series access points.I am using 3 SSID .I want to use two ssid in HREAP mode but HREAP mode is not showinh in access point because multicast is enabled on AP mode.Please see the below picture
    I have disabled the multicast globally from CLI.
    config network multicast global disabled
    Please help me in disabling the multicast so that i can set the access point in HREAP mode.
    Thanks ....

    Hi George
    I have found a document in which it is mentioned which platform are supported..
    These are the restrictions to remember while you use H-REAP.
    Hybrid REAP is supported only on the 1130AG, 1140, 1240, 1250, 1260,           AP801, AP 802, 1040, and AP3550 APs and on the Cisco WiSM, Cisco 5500, 4400,           2100, 2500, Flex 7500 Series Controllers, the Catalyst 3750G Integrated           Wireless LAN Controller Switch, and the Controller Network Module for           Integrated Services Routers.
    But why it is giving an remark on controller tab that multicast is not supported with HREAP on this platform ?
    Is this the limitation of cisco 2504 controller or the limitation of 1231 access point ?
    Does that mean i can use my SSID in HREAP mode if i am using 1231 series access point ?
    Thanks...

  • Access Points Going Into Disabled Mode

    We have two internal 5508 controllers.  One in our North American data center, and one in our European data center.  The North American controller controls all access points in NA, Canada, South America.  The European controller takes care of all European, Middle East, and AsiaPac location AP's.  At random, certain AP's just go into disabled mode.  It's all sorts of AP's, from 3700, 3600, 1242's, 1131's.  This ONLY happens on our European controller.  I can't find any common factor other than these AP's CAPWAP to our European controller.  Would anyone be able to give me some direction on where to start troubleshooting?  Thanks!

    Hello deldotgov22
    Actually there are many factors involved in this kind of LAP behaviour.
    Please follow these steps and you are able to rectify and resolve the problem.
    Normally Disconnection will happen if interferance occurs from near by objects or with the same channels causing overlap. 
    1- Make sure  Dynamic channel and power assingment is Enabled in the WLC, if enabled then disable and re-enable it.
    2- Re-register the LAP by first removing it from WLC.
    4-use Debug using CLI for specific LAP
    3-If still problem persist then upgrade the firmware.
    Following is the Link containing required detail for LAP including dynamic Channel and power assingment.
    Hope this will help.

    Hi Majid,
    The method is just hidden a little further down the doc that Scott linked (+5 points Scott :)
    Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
    Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
    Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
    Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
    Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
    Step 3 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:
    a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
    b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders.
    Step 4 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.
    Step 5 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
    Step 6 Disconnect power from the access point.
    Step 7 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
    Step 8 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
    Step 9 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
    Step 10 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

  • Can I disable my Verizon Fios Router Wireless radio, connect it to a switch and use my airport express as my wireless access point connected to an in wall ethernet port?

    Here's the deal.  I have a Verizon Fios MI424WR router.  My house has CAT5 throughout the house.  The media panel is located in the garage.  I want to take the Verizon Fios Router and cannot it in the media panel so I can connect a switch to it, that way, all my CAT5 can fire throughout the house. Verizon being Verizon decided to connect the router directly in the office. 
    Can I go this route (Router in media panel, switch cross connect to it) and use Airport Express, connected to one of the in-wall CAT5 ports in my house and then set it up as my wireless access point to provide wifi to my portable devices (iPad, iPhone, Macbook)?  Is this possible? Will Airport Express comminicate with my verizon router via ethernet in-wall? Do I have to turn off the wireless radio in the Verizon router?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That is right, by hard wired I was just making clear wired vs wireless attachment.  AirPort family of devices will only act in a repeater mode with their own family members, not FiOS routers.  they have to be wired to work.
    There are some useful docs you can download from Apple, Support, Manuals, Peripherals, AirPort (just follow thos links from the Support button on the top bar):
    Apple AirPort Networks

    AirPort Express Setup Guide
    The last has a diagram of what you are trying to do, though without the house wiring, etc., but the basic principle.

  • E4200 as a Access Point/Bridge Mode

    I have spent most of the weekend trying to get this router to act as a proper Access Point.
    Has any got this to work correctly?
    When it does work (Stay connected) speeds and latency are rotten. If I go back to Routing Mode this thing kicks butt, but I isolate all devices attached to a different subnet and trying to set up proper routes has proved imposable.
    Firmware 1.0.2 r 13
    The online help stated to connect to the "internet interface" when in Bridge Mode DHCP Server Is not broadcasting to on the wireless or wired interfaces.
    If I used the wired interface as the uplink I can broadcast the DHCP to any device on wired but again nothing to the Wireless.
    When I "Show Routing Table" I see two static routes pointing to the ATT router for the Wired/Wireless Interfaces.....
    0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 (my Gateway) Wired/Wireless
    (my Gateway) 255.255.255.0 0.0.0. Wired/Wireless
    Why?? 
    AP mode should only be working in Broadcast.
    By connecting the Wired Interfaces alone up to my switched network should not use the router at all.
    If you force all traffic to my router all traffic has to be inspected by the firewall
    You create a bottleneck my router interface is 10/100.
    ATT 2 Wire Gateway/Router with pinholes. 10/100/1000 Non managed 24 port Switch Network. Server infrastructure serving DNS/DHCP.
    I decided to buy this after reading it offered Bridge/Access Point mode instead of getting the WAP610 because I wanted to have the option to change to routing mode or AP mode.
    Since my ATT Uverse Router Wireless is “g” it takes forever to transfer files to and from my servers.

    OK If this helps... I am running a SOHO

    At times the connection gets lost.
    In this configuration I get the above stated Route Tables.
    If this is layer 2 compliant it should be handing all local subnet traffic via MAC instead of routing.
    I have not taken the time to attempt to reconfigure my 2Wire to go into DMZ Plus mode and allow the linksys to handle all routing,  but from previous attempt with my wrt54 it did not go well. I accepted the slow 2Wire WiFi speeds.
    It is now getting to the point I am looking for better WiFi to local LAN speeds , I also am looking to do Layer 2 and bypass Routing if I can.

  • Does wIPS mode Access point utilize more Bandwidth?

    Hi all,
    I have around six number of Cisco 1252 Access Points on HReap mode and wIPS submode in one particular location. This was implemented more than six months and it was working fine. Suddenly, I faced Network conjestion and more bandwidth utilization in that location in particular. But, after disabling the wIPS in the AP, The bandwidth got stable and working fine. Not sure, if wIPS will utilize more bandwidth.. Please clarify on the same..
    Also please let me know if this will be anywhere related to the RF Heat maps that Cisco NCS will generate? As there is no map uploaded for that location, Will this cause an issue? Need more understanding on this. Please share if any document or information is available.

  • Can a single Access Point support both bridge mode and Access Point mode at the same time

    Hi Guys
    Does anyone know which access point can work in both bridge mode and AP mode ?
    Cheers

    Well what are you trying to cover. If its really a large outdoor area, then look at the mesh AP. Those require a WLC. Autonomous or stand alone ap can perform bridging on one radio and client access on another. You can also look at AP that support indoor mesh that also controlled by a wlc. If your putting APs outdoors, then look at the outdoor mesh.
