  • 1.  AP-575-US unable to access web interface

    Posted Feb 03, 2025 07:42 AM

    I just picked up a (used) AP-575-US to add to my existing INSTANT network including 2 x AP-535-US devices.   However, I have been unable to get into the 575 web interface or get it added to my network.    I have been able to connect through the console port and do a factory reset, but still no luck.

    I have found the IP address as assigned by my dhcp server.   When I try to connect over the web with the IP address, the browser does get forwarded to the :4343 port and I get the certificate warning, but that is followed by a "{ip.address} refrused to connect" message.

    I am wondering if this thing is toast, or if a new image needs to be flashed somehow (and if so, how?).

    Thanks for any suggestions / feedback.

    Hello,
    Are you trying to add it to the existing cluster or different network?
    If you can't reach it from the IP assigned by the DHCP server, set a static IP from the boot to try to connect locally to the AP:
     
    setenv ipaddr 172.16.3.223
     
    This Command will set the static ip address to AP
     
    setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
     
    This command will set the subnet mask to the AP
     
     
     
    setenv gatewayip 172.16.3.1
     
    This command will set the ip default gateway to the AP
     
    and see if you can access it later via https, to see if you have access to it. 
     
    Best Regards

    Thanks for the reply... much appreciated!

    Networking wasn't the problem.   Turns out the AP was stuck in remote AP mode.    I was able to wipe the image and flash to a fresh Instant image... all is working now.
