Caution
Failure to change the default password is a serious security weakness. GTA recommends changing the default user ID and password to prevent unauthorized access.
Configuration Using GBAdmin
If your computer’s operating system is Microsoft Windows, you can choose to configure your firewall by using the GBAdmin software you installed earlier instead of using the web interface.
Note
GBAdmin can only be installed on a local computer that uses Windows 98, NT 4.0, XP, Me, 2000 or 2003.
1)Select GBAdmin from the Windows Start menu to start GBAdmin.
2)Select File from the tool bar, then select Open. In the dialog box’s
SOURCE area, select NETWORK. In the SERVER field, enter the default IP address for the firewall (192.168.71.254). Make sure that there is a check in the box next to CONFIGURATION in the INFORMATION TO LOAD section. Once this is complete, press the RETURN key or click OK.
