Passthrough
A wired port that facilitates extension of the wired network after mounting the APon the wall or stand. You can plug another device into the passthrough port of the AP. The traffic on the passthrough port does not interfere with the AP traffic. You cannot apply any policies on the passthrough port traffic.

Reset
Resets the access point to factory defaults to reset the access point, press and hold the Reset Pin Hole until all LEDs go off, which indicates that the access point has rebooted. Pressing the Reset Pin Hole while the access point boots up does not have any effect. Perform this operation only when the access point is running.
Pinhole push button
Hold down and power cycle the access point to reset.
