Firmware Upgrade screen. To view the current version of the firmware that your VPN firewall is
running, choose Monitoring from the main menu.
In the displayed Router Status screen, the System Info section shows the firmware version. When
you upgrade your firmware, this section of the screen will change to reflect the new version.
Warning: Once you start restoring settings or erasing the VPN firewall, do NOT
interrupt the process. Do not try to go online, turn off the VPN firewall,
shut down the computer or do anything else to the VPN firewall until it
finishes restarting!
Warning: When you click default, your VPN firewall settings will be erased. All
firewall rules, VPN policies, LAN/WAN settings and other settings will be
lost. Backup your settings if you intend on using them!
