R720 : SSH "Network error: Connection Refused"

Hi All, 

I have been trying to access one of my AP (Ruckus R720), which before this was working fine. When I tried to SSH to said AP, it gave me this error ;

SSH  "Network error: Connection Refused"

And so, next step, I did a hard reset using the button, these are the steps that I did ;

Held the reset button down for 20 seconds.  
Red light blinks - I release the button after 30 seconds. 
Unit reboots, power is solid green ctrl is blinking green.
I see in my switch that the AP got IP.

My next step :

C:\Users\Rashid>ssh 10.110.193.161
ssh: connect to host 10.110.193.161 port 22: Connection refused

C:\Users\Rashid>ping 10.110.193.161

Tried SSH again, failed. And the AP is Ping-able. 

SSID : Configure.Me-163690 is up. 

Can connect to the "Configure.Me-163690" SSID using serial number as password.

Since I didnt get any IP, I set my wifi AP to static to be same as the range of the AP. 

10.110.193.xx and tried to access the webui using the IP 10.110.193.161 - Failed.

Tried again with different static IP range ; 192.168.0.xx and tried to access the webui using the IP 192.168.0.1 - Failed.

Any way for me to access this AP? or to rectify this issue ?

Thank you in advance.
