Hello,
We have an Aruba networks installation deployed inside of a synchrotron. Suddenly one of the access points, an AP61, died after 4 years of service. Is the first one on this installation that dies.
The dead one was installed on a place where it is exposed to radiation. The nearest radiation sensor accounts for an acumulated dose of 1172 mSv caused by photons and 100 mSv by neutrons.
I've tried to connect to it using the serial adapter. I get a responsive console, but after some seconds it hangs and stop responding. At the end of the post I pasted the log.
I would like to know the cause of the death. Because i have 10 access points on this kind of places where they are exposed and i would like to know if I have to start to dig 10 more graves.
Regards

As you can see I was trying to factory reset the AP but it doesn't help.
