DECT IPRBS 2 Unuseable after Upgrade / unable to factory reset

[malte]

Hey,

i kinda destroyed a customers DECT Antenna.

I needed to flash newer 11.1.x firmware with stupid, hardest passwd policy possilbe.

I pasted a passwd longer than 15 characters, at this point i didnt knew whats wrong. Now i know that there is the limit at 15 characters, wich is a missing check feature in software. Everything above it will be cut. I dont have the pasted passwd because i thought there was something wrong with the password.

My main issue: the reset button is not working - not even restart is possible. is the button bridgeable? i tried with wire, unfortunately so far without success.

Are there still chances for the antenna or is it a case of electronic waste? In the current market situation, that's just 1200 € damage....

Is it even not reachable with an IP?

IP Office remote service
IP Office certificate check
CLI based call blocking
SCN fallback over PSTN

Sure you privided the correct factory default reset? If yes the IPBS should be 192.168.0.1/24

Are you sure you followed the proper procedure for defaulting the BS? You have to press the reset button, then let it go for a bit then press it once quickly a second time. I can't remember the specific procedure off the top of my head but it is documented and I know for certain it involves two separate presses of the reset button.

Press the button and hold it in until the light flashes to fast blinking blue for a while, then disappears, then turns yellow. Once it turns yellow, release the button and when the light turns red, press it again and release. The v2's sometimes took a few tries to default, but would then return to the 192.168.0.1 IP Address. As an FYI, factory defaulting doesn't always save these base stations - sometimes they're just bricked.
