Ok, so here is the status update.
I am unable to reset the AP70 directly connected to a laptop with a serial cable due to the fact it takes a specific serial cable. A standard serial cable will NOT get the job done. So that rules out that method of reseting the AP70.
The other method used to reset the AP70 is by connecting the AP70 to an ARUBA800 ethernet port and then connecting to the ARUBA800 via telnet, and reset the AP70 via a telnet session. I can connect to the ARUBA800 and open the telnet session but I dont get past that step.
I have attached a document I've been following. I'm not sure how to identify the slot port.
Here is the step I get hung up on:
soe> connect <slot/port where the AP is connected to> (e.g. soe>connect 1 / 2)
Thanks
