Access Points

[Jsonh28]

Hello,

I continue to have connectivity issues with tv's and smart devices. I believe the issue lies with the AP's. I'm tempted to do a factory reset on access points, but not sure if it will fix the problem cause more issues I cannot resolve. Please advise how I can fix.

R320 Access Points are as follows:

Downstairs                             Upstairs

PWR - green                           PWR - green

CTL - green                             CTL - off                    

AIR - off                                   AIR - off

2.4G - amber                          2.4G - amber

5G - amber                             5G - amber

amber SYST light and green PWR lights are lit.

Hi @Jsonh28 

Thank you for the detailed information you shared.

As you mentioned and from the pictures you shared I can see, there are lights on PWR and SYST, if there is an amber/orange light on the "SYST" and a green light on the "PWR" on the Switch (as it is in the below picture). Meaning the Switch is stuck in the boot mode.

Basically, due to the power outage/ power spike, the switch went to a state that we call ‘boot mode’ that is not able to boot up properly. And this is the reason your RUCKUS ICX-7150-C12P Switch is unable to transmit power (PoE- Power over Ethernet) to the Access Points or on its ports.

Please follow the below steps to fix this issue:

First, we will try to reset the Switch as described below VIDEO:

1. Please try to disconnect from the Power outlet the ICX-7150 and reconnect.

2. Please try to press the reset button using a paper click or a small stick 

• Remove power from the switch.
• Press and hold the Reset button while applying power to the switch.
• After all the system LEDs flash amber, release the Reset button.

IF THE RESET IS NOT WORKING, PLEASE TRY TO RESET YOUR SWITCH MULTIPLE TIMES (Like 10-15 times) AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. As we have seen it working sometimes after trying multiple times in many cases. If the reset with a paperclip works, the SYST and PWR lights should turn GREEN.

IF RESET DOESN’T WORK: Please follow the below steps.

If the reset does not make any difference, we need to perform a software recovery since it can be that the image flash is corrupted in basic words the unit is not able to boot up properly and need re-install the image to boot up properly.

Below is the Guide and Video Link to perform the Software recovery process:

Please refer to the below guide and Video link:

Please note, we must use ethernet cable (both ends RJ45 plugs) and USB to type C cable both together as described in steps 2 & 3 in the guide link.

Please let me know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
