If the device status LED not lights up, check whether the device is powered. If the device doesn’t appear for adoption and the steps above didn’t help, try the following steps: The device status LED now lights up blue permanently. After another 2 minutes, the device is adopted and has been provisioned. set-inform Īfter about 2 minutes, the device is ready for adoption, in the UniFi Controller application click Adopt. The UniFi-Controller is running on Server 192.168.2.17, but it can also by an UniFi Cloud-Key. After reset the login is ubnt/ubnt or root/ubnt. Now open an SSH terminal again and execute the command-lines, the command set-inform must be executed several times. The device is now in the status – Pending Adoption (static white LED), the device can now adopt by the UniFi controller application. sudo syswrapper.sh restore-defaulĭuring the reset, the UAP will reboot, after about 2 minutes the device is reachable again, possibly now with a different IP address. If the UAP status Server Reject is displayed, then you can reset the UAP, using the following command-line from the SSH terminal. | | | | \ || \ | | Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. Open SSH Terminal to UniFi UAP with PuTTY BusyBox v1.25.1 () built-in shell (ash) Now connect over SSH to the device, for example using PuTTY terminal or with Linux use SSH to the UAP Access Point. If the adoption process fails and the device is no longer possible to adopt because the UniFi Controller reject it, for example after a failed provisioning, the first step to do is to remove the device that is no longer connected from the UniFi Controller by clicking on the Forget button.
This means that the device is available for discovery and adoption. A UniFi device that is not managed by any application will show a static white LED. The UniFi Network application scans and displays all devices that are unmanaged or managed by UniFi Controller.
