Factory Reset - Zone Director 1200

Question

I have a Zone Director 1200. The previous IT person didn't document the password. Wifi is working, I just can't login to configure anything.

I do have around 20+ AP's. If I factory reset the main unit, will that break all the AP's? Will they have to be re-configured, also factory reset, etc? Or will it detect the AP's that are connected and let me configure them?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Hello, thank you for the reply.

Just to be sure, once I reset the ZD and input again its IP, APs will be automatically detected?
Anyway, I think I can set again the other settings after detection. Just need to make sure that APs will be detected again after reset. Thank you!

Hi @wirelessuser12 
With the current setup where the AP is already connected to ZD, if you reset the ZD the APs will still hold the config.
And the APs will keep trying to reach the ZD. After the reset make sure to configure the same IP address on the ZD and other settings and the APs will connect back to the ZD again.

Once ZoneDirector is reset, it will automatically detect again all AP even with their current configuration? I have APs that are already unreachable and I cannot recover to reset physically. I'm worried that If i reset the ZoneDirector I will not detect any APs.
