11. The warning message “Initializing runtime slice 2 failed; No space left on
device” is displayed.

1. The Compact Flash card is too small; GTA only supports GTA-certi-

fied Compact Flash cards.

2. The Compact Flash card no longer functions correctly; contact GTA

or a GTA Channel Partner for hardware warranty.

12. I lost my user name and/or password. How can I log on to my firewall ?

If login information has been irretrievably lost, a firewall can be reset to
factory defaults, erasing all current configuration data and resetting both the
case-sensitive user name and password to “gnatbox”.

Caution

Resetting the firewall will cause it to lose current configuration data.
The configuration data can only be restored by loading a saved
configuration with a known user name and password, or by manually
entering the information.

To reset your firewall to factory defaults, attach either a terminal (using a
serial console cable), or a computer with terminal emulation software (using
a DB-9 null-modem cable). Enter these settings for the console connection:

Power on the firewall. The following words will display:

GNAT Box System Software x.x.x

loading ...

When the word “

loading

” appears, immediately press

CONTROL-R

. The

system will begin to load, and configuration and hardware data will appear
on screen. Finally, a confirmation question displays:

Are you sure you want to reset your firewall configuration?:
(“yes” or “no”)

To reset to factory defaults, type the word “

yes

” in lower case letters. Typing

any other key will reboot the system without resetting to defaults. There is no
time out; the reset confirmation question will remain until a key is pressed.
