Using the LCD Interface with Fireware Appliance Software If you press and hold the Up button within ten seconds after restarting the Firebox, the Firebox X boots into SysB mode. The Up button is also used as the Firebox reset button. For information on how to reset a Firebox X, see the WatchGuard System Manager User Guide. Using the LCD Interface with Fireware Appliance Software When you use the Firebox X with Fireware appliance software, the LCD interface lets you: • Restore a Firebox to its factory-default settings • Restore your Firebox to its original firmware if it is necessary • Rescue a Firebox with corrupted images in its hard drive. The WatchGuard Firebox can operate in three modes: Default The Firebox normal operating mode, with the Firebox booting from the Fireware OS portion of its hard drive. Safe A Firebox that boots from Safe mode uses a fixed, baseline set of functionality stored on the read-only system area of the Firebox flash disk memory. Use Safe mode only together with the QuickStart Wizard. Maintenance The Firebox can boot from a special area of the Firebox hard drive that can never be corrupted. From Maintenance mode, you can connect to a Firebox with a corrupted image on the default and safe partitions of the hard drive and restore it to an operating state. WatchGuard recommends that you do not use Maintenance mode without help from a WatchGuard technical support representative. LCD Keypad Button Control There are four buttons to the right of the LCD display. Left Button This button is the “selection” button. It does the work of a computer mouse “left-click” button and lets you select from different options. Right Button Use this button to select fields in an LCD display. It does the work of the TAB key in a Windows dialog box. Up Button This button lets you increase the value of a selected item, or move up in a group of menu entries. Down Button This button lets you decrease the value of a selected item, or move down in a group of menu entries. 70 WatchGuard System Manager
