The reboot process takes about 165 seconds. (If you can see the unit: The reboot process is complete when the Test LED on the front panel goes off.)

WARNING:

When you press the hardware factory default Reset button or click the software Default button, the wireless VPN firewall settings are erased. All firewall rules, VPN policies, LAN and WAN settings, and other settings are lost. Back up your settings if you intend on using them.

Note: After you reboot with factory default settings, the wireless VPN firewall’s password is password, and the LAN IPv4 address is

192.168.1.1.

Address Problems with Date and Time

The System Date & Time screen displays the current date and time of day (see Configure Date and Time Service on page 344). The wireless VPN firewall uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day.

Problems with the date and time function can include:

•Date shown is January 1, 2000. Cause: The wireless VPN firewall has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the wireless VPN firewall, wait at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.

•Time is off by one hour. Cause: The wireless VPN firewall does not automatically sense daylight saving time. Go to the Time Zone screen (Administration > Time Zone), and select or clear the Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.
