Reset AP105 to factory settings

We purchased 16 AP105's from Dell a couple years ago (before my time). We recently acquired two used identical models. How do I reset them to factory settings so our current virtual controller can see them and instantly integrate them into the network? I can access them via the console, reset one using the command factory_reset and now I get image errors. So I don't dare touch the other one yet. Any ideas are appreciated! Thank you!

Hi ITMichelle,
You should be able to reset with the following commands
• Power on the AP and get into apboot mode.
• From the apboot prompt, configure:
apboot> purge
apboot> save
apboot> reset

SO on the 2nd IAP I ran the same sequence of purge, save, reset.  Seemed to work, but it is not finding our wireless instant controller....?  Is starting watchdog process part of the arbua default?

The watchdog process should be on both. If it is stopping there try changing the ip address of the controller to the one that you are using.

Thanks Josh.

I tried that sequence of commands on the one that tells me it's a bad image.   No change, still a bad image.  See below (changed a couple identifiers).   It gets through DHCP and receives an IP.  It looks like it's looking for Aruba Master - but I am not sure ours is named "arbua master".   any ideas?

Try reflashing the firmware and see if it fixes the image. It sounds like the factory reset put it back to the way Aruba sent it to us and not the way we ship them.
