Problems with AP650 being adopted by RFS6000

[GUTAN_Flaviu]

Hello,

For 2 years, we have APs failing to reconnect to our RFS after programmed electricity cut. They are shown as offline in Wing and phisically the Amber led is blinking every 2 sec. or so and the green led is off. I tried connecting them directly to the RFS but nothing changed. We bought 3 more APs on e-bay and we have the same issue. Tried to reset the AP using the Motorola_AP_Discovery_Tool but I see the AP connecting to the RFS and then disconnecting itself 3 or 4 seconds later. For now we have at least 5 unusable APs all with the same symptoms. Any help or advice would be appreciated as we still have to continue with this infrastructure for atl least 8 months. Thank you

You indicated that the ones bought off ebay are causing the issues. Were these units properly factory defaulted before putting them on the network?

The switches hosting the APs are backed up but the electricity cut may vary. For maintenance reasons, sometimes, the whole building will go off for several hours and eventually the UPS will shut down. We only back up the main server room hosting the servers and the main RFS.

Does the switch go off when the power fail's or is it backed up on a UPS ?

Have the AP's gone in to the default RFdomain where there is no policy's for them ?

Hello Phil,

All our APs are powered through a POE switch.

When you have the power interuption is it causing the network switches to either power or or brownout,? are the AP's being powered localy or via a POE switch ?
