Note

See Console Guide for more information on key commands and
features, including entry of routing information and firewall rules.

network, you should now be able to remotely administer it using
GBAdmin or a web browser.

Configuration Using the Video Console

Use this user interface only if you have installed the video version of the
GB-Ware runtime.

Note

The video version of the GB-Ware runtime does not have factory
default network settings, and hence does not initially allow any
network or serial connections. If you chose to install the video version
of the GB-Ware runtime, you will need to run the Setup Wizard to
enter basic network information before you can use your firewall.

1) The firewall will probe for hardware. To verify that the system has

detected and recognized your network cards, press

ALT+F1

to see

the log messages. To scroll through the messages, engage the

SCROLL LOCK

key, and use either the

PAGE UP

and

PAGE DOWN

keys, or the

UP/DOWN

arrow keys.

You can also view this information using the Configuration Verification
item on the console interface or View Log Messages under the System
Activity
menu using GBAdmin or the web user interface.
