Hi Catman & Statto - Thanks for your help on this one.
Got home tonight and have tried the following.
- Plugged AP into laptop, booted, ran IPSU, entered MAC - ISPU Device does not answer.
- Plugged AP into PC, booted, ran IPSU, entered MAC - ISPU Device does not answer.
- Unplugged Power to AP, hold mode button, plug power back in - repeated 1 and 2 above - ISPU Device does not answer.
- Tried with crossover cable between PC/Laptop and AP - IPSU Device does not answer.
I think I may have a wan**red bit of kit - even though its brand new ?
Perhaps thats why I was given it !!
