Global Technology Associates SOFTWARE FIREWALL GBWA200501-01 - Manual (Page 23)

3 – Configuration 19
3 Configuration
The following sections describe how to change GB-Ware from the default
configuration, in which all internal users are allowed outbound connections,
but no unsolicited inbound connections are allowed.
Use either the web user interface, GBAdmin, the video console, or the serial
console to configure the GB-Ware firewall.
Setting the Boot Sequence
After installing GB-Ware and attaching the hardware key block, power up
the GB-Ware firewall.
1. Boot into the firewall’s CMOS (BIOS).
2. Set the boot sequence so that the GB-Ware drive is first, before any
other drives in the IDE controller slots. This will enable GB-Ware to
boot upon powering up.
3. Save your settings and exit the BIOS.
4. Restart the computer using a cold reboot. (In a cold reboot, shut
down, power off, and then power your computer back on.)
Note
GTA recommends disconnecting or disabling any unnecessary
hardware in the GB-Ware firewall system. This prevents accidental
access of other drives and simplifies hardware configuration.
If the boot sequence is correctly set, the firewall will boot from the GB-
Ware drive.
Loading the Correct Memory Slice (Partition)
Both memory slice and 1 and slice 2 of the disk image have already been
written during installation and are, at this point, identical. The first time the
GNAT Box System is loaded, slice 1 will boot up by default.
Selecting a User Interface
Your GB-Ware firewall can be accessed in many ways. Choose one which
best suits your available hardware, network situation, GB-Ware runtime
version and preferences.
