After factory reset, access the device with the default IP address and password, then follow the unlock process again before reuse. It is also good practice to create a configuration backup such that it can be restored in the case of lost passwords.
Product Applicability: Mimosa C5 and Mimosa C5c
This process is to restore the device to the factory state when the device is physically available.
Follow these steps to reset the radio:
- Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the radio.
- Insert a paper clip into the hole next to the Ethernet port to depress the reset button (see image below).
- Plug the Ethernet cable back in while holding the reset button down. The green LED will blink slowly after 2 seconds, and then fast after 4 seconds. On a Mimosa C5c, look at the Power LED to exhibit this same pattern- slow and then rapid blink.
- Let go of the reset button when the green LED starts blinking fast.
- The radio will then reboot for approximately 90 seconds.
- Connect your computer to the LAN input of the PoE.
- With a web browser, navigate to Mimosa C5 default IP address 192.168.1.20 (or address assigned by DHCP). The default password is mimosa.
Setting a Password
Enter the new password in both the New Password and Verify New Password input boxes to validate that they were typed correctly. To finalize the change, enter the existing password and then save. The default password should be changed during device configuration to protect your network.
- New Password - Enter the new password.
- Verify New Password - Re-enter the new password (to confirm).
- Current Password - Enter the existing password (as a security measure).

- The password cannot be blank.
- The password may not have a leading or trailing space.
