If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are
displayed. If you do not receive replies:
• Check that your PC has the IP address of your gateway listed as the default

gateway. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this
information will not be visible in your PC’s Network Control Panel. Go to the
Run… window and run winipcfg. Verify that the IP address of the FSG-3 is
listed as the default gateway as described in Verifying TCP/IP Properties.

• Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP

address specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of
the remote device.

Restoring the Default Configuration and Password

Resetting the FSG-3 to its factory defaults changes the FSG’s administration
password to "admin" and the IP address to 192.168.1.1. You can erase the
current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:

• Use the Erase function of the Web Configuration as described in the "Reset

Configuration" part of the "Hardware menu" section of the "Configuration
options explained" chapter.

• Press the Reset button on the rear panel of the gateway with a long object

for several seconds. Use this method for cases when the administration
password or IP address is not known.

Using the Default Reset button

To reset the factory default configuration settings, you can use the reset button
on the rear of the FSG-3.

1. Press and hold the Reset button (about 10 seconds).
2. Release the Reset button and wait for the FSG-3 to reboot.

Problems with Date and Time

The log menu in the information section displays the current date and time of
day. The FSG-3 has a battery powered real time clock that you initially tell the
date and time. Each entry in the log files is stamped with the date and time of
day. Problems with the date and time function can include:

• Date shown is January 1, 2000

Cause: The FSG-3 has not yet successfully been set up. Please set the date and
time in the Hardware / Date&Time section. If you have just completed
configuring the FSG-3, wait at least five minutes and check the date and time
again.
