Cisco Catalyst 9130AX Series Access Points
13 Miscellaneous Usage and Configuration Guidelines
Using the Mode Button
Using the Mode button (see Figure 2) you can:
Reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration.
Clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files.
To use the mode button, press, and keep pressed, the mode button on the access point during the AP boot cycle. Wait
until the AP status LED changes to Blue. During this, the AP console shows a seconds counter, counting the number of
seconds the mode button is pressed. Then:
To reset the AP to the default factory-shipped configuration, keep the mode button pressed for less than 20
seconds. The AP configuration files are cleared.
This resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the
SSID.
To clear the AP internal storage, including all configuration files and the regulatory domain configuration, keep the
mode button pressed for more than 20 seconds, but less than 60 seconds.
The AP status LED changes from Blue to Red, and all the files in the AP storage directory are cleared.
If you keep the mode button pressed for more than 60 seconds, the mode button is assumed faulty and no changes are
made.
Troubleshooting the Access Point to Cisco Controller Join Process
Note Ensure that your controller is running controller software Release 8.9.111.0 or later as specified in see the
Cisco Wireless Solutions Software Compatibility Matrix.
Access points can fail to join a controller for many reasons: a RADIUS authorization is pending; self-signed certificates
are not enabled on the controller; the access point and the controller regulatory domains don’t match, and so on.
