WC7520 and WNDAP360 problem with one AP after IP changed
After upgraded to the latest firmware (2.5.0.45) on the WC7520, all the AP's received the upgrade and worked fine, however I had one AP that had an incorrect static ip assigned to it by the previous ...

After following all the steps nothing worked. Then connected using putty and noticed that the ip address assigned wasn't the default. It assigned a dhcp ip address after reset. I thought it would assign the default ip address as in the manual and so I couldn't connect to it. After that I connected and reconfigured. Thanks!

Hi,
Alternatively you can follow the procedure below:
- Hard reset the AP by pressing Reset button more than 10seconds
- Afer the hard reset, AP will get assigned to default IP 192.168.0.160
- Login to AP using default ip i.e 192.168.0.160 (by configuring laptop with static ip 192.168.0.xx)
username "admin" and password is "password"
- Once you login to AP Modify below changes
Go to Configuration --> IP -> DHCP Client --> Disable
i) Please enter the following details as per your network
IP Address -->
IP Subnet Mask -->
Default Gateway -->
Apply the changes
ii).Go to Controller Settings
Controller IP -->Update your controller ip
Apply the changes and reboot the AP.
5. Go to Controller--> Access point --> Discovery Wizard--> Select "Factory Default state" Press on "Next" tab --> Select second option "Different L3 Networks" --> Specify ip range and then press Next button
6. Discovery wizard will discover the WNDAP360 AP from the network, once the discovery is done you can add it to WC7520 Controller
