AP7901 Firmware update issues

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

In updating the firmware on a AP7901 I just purchased, I've managed to disable the Apps functionality, so I'm without a web interface.

I've tried downgrading using the Windows utility included in the firmware package, but I'm just getting "Login failed" errors, even though the user/pass are set to defaults. I've tried FTP (via Linux) as well -- I can login without issue, but (after entering binary mode) when I try to "put" my file, I get 426: Connection closed; transfer aborted errors. As a last resort, I tried XMODEM, but was never prompted to upload the firmware.

Any advice? The unit is IP'd and racked at a remote datacenter, but there are remote hands available if there's something that needs to be done on-site.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
