Resetting the Firebox to the factory default settings
You might have a reason to set the Firebox to the factory default
settings. For example, you might be unable to correct a configura-
tion problem and just want to “start over.” Sometimes, a reset is
your only choice: such as if the system security passphrase is
unknown or the firmware of the Firebox X Edge is damaged by a
power interruption.
You should have a copy of the most recent Firebox X Edge software
on your local computer before you try to return to factory default
settings.
Follow these steps to set the Firebox to the factory default settings:
1 Disconnect the power supply.
2 Hold down the Reset button, located on the front of the
Firebox.
3 Connect the power supply while you continue to hold down the
Reset button.
4 Continue to hold down the button until the red light on the
front of the Firebox blinks in a steady pattern (about 15
seconds).
5 Disconnect the power supply.
6 Reconnect the power supply.
The Power indicator is on and the reset is complete.
Rebooting the Firebox
You can reboot the Firebox® X Edge from a computer on the trusted
network. You can also reboot the Firebox from a computer with the
Internet to connect to the Firebox external interface.
