Controllerless Networks

So I picked up one of my IAP-305's running 6.5.x and whacked 8.5 just to see what the new OS is like.. Now the unit will not boot properly but can't tell where it is stuck because I don't have a console cable with me!

 

I can see a blinking green LED which sometimes stays on solid for a few seconds. Every now and then there is a solid red for about 2 seconds and it goes to blinking green again - been like that for about 30 minutes.

 

Any ideas on of how to make it boot or revert back to 6.5?

 

 

HELP!

Did you follow the upgrade path...

Can you enlighten me please? Any ideas on what to do now that the AP is not booting?

Dear Adrian,
You can reset AP until it comes to factory default firmware. pull the pin
to reset button hole until LED stable ( more than 1.30min).

Dear Adrian,

I recommend reinstalling the firmware using cpboot> mode. Please try lower Aruba OS version 

Hi Dinusha

If the process you mentioned is not normal reset, I did not understand another way. Can you explain in detail? could you please.

seems nana flash error. best is do a replacement 

I want to install it again. but it does not return to factory settings. I can't even access it on the web page. What should I do.

 

apboot> osinfo
Partition 0Volume aos0 not found! does not contain a valid OS image

Partition 1Volume aos1 not found! does not contain a valid OS image

have you tried to install OS using TFTP?

i'm not professional. Can you help me on how to do this? could you please.

I saw you tried to install OS using TFTP. Use the same procedure to install the lower version (8.3). if not contact local SE for replacement new AP under warranty (FOC)
