Lost AP IP Address

So I lost my AP’s IP address (don’t ask) I don’t even know what subnet it is on.

Is there any way to access it without climbing the tower and using the reset plug?

I can access SM’s that are associated to the AP.

Does Motorola have software that can find an AP by MAC address maybe?

Please help!

Each AP sets up a private network for itself and it’s child SM’s that is a 192.168.101.x network only accessible from the AP or one of the SM’s associated to it.

Telnet to the management IP of an SM that is on the stranded AP.

Then telnet to 192.168.101.1 which is the private IP of the AP (AKA LUID1)

Looks like:

C:'Documents and Settings’Administrator>telnet 10.0.2.5 (SM)

Wouldnt this be under the assumption that either the SM is set to Public Accessibility, or physical presence at the SM?

Interesting though, I never knew about the “ip” command.

Could be wrong but I don’t think that the public accessibility matters for Telnet, only the web page.
