@JohnDonovan,

 

Welcome to the community! 🙂 

 

What is the current firmware version of the WC7520? 

 

Not sure if this will help.  I found this old thread here on how to recover the WNDAP360.

Thanks, that is useful. Do I take it that what appears to be a second Ethernet port is the RS232 port?

The WC7520 is at the latest (last) firmware.

@JohnDonovan,

 

The port next to the factory reset hole is the console port.  Make sure that you set the following settings before you access the WNDAP360 via console: 9600 K default baud rate, (8) data bits, no (N) parity bit, and one (1) stop bit.

 

As reference, kindly check pages 12-13 of the WNDAP360 Reference Manual here
