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.
