AC Power Adapter
The AC power adapter supplies power for the Firebox. A Firebox shipped outside the U.S. includes four
power cables to connect to the AC power adapter. Use the correct power cable for the power source
used in your country.
Do not connect this power adapter to any other WatchGuard product.
Restore Factory Default Settings
If you have a problem in your configuration file that you cannot correct, you can restore the factory
default settings and start from a new configuration file. For example, if you do not know the
administrator account passphrase, or if a power interruption causes damage to the Fireware OS, you can
restore the Firebox to the factory default settings and build your configuration again.
To reset the Firebox to factory default settings:
1. Power off the Firebox.
2. Press and hold the
Reset
button on the back of the Firebox.
3. Power on the Firebox while you continue to hold the
Reset
button.
4. Continue to hold the
Reset
button until the
Attn
indicator on the front of the Firebox begins to
flash.
5. Release the
Reset
button.
6. Wait until the
Attn
indicator stays lit and does not flash. This can take 75 seconds or more.
You must start the device again before you can connect to it. If you do not, when you
try to connect to the device, a web page appears with the message, "Your device is
running from a backup copy of firmware." This message also appears if the
Reset
button is stuck in the depressed position. If you continue to see this message, check the
Reset
button and start the device again.
7. Power off the Firebox.
8. Power on the Firebox.
The Firebox restarts with factory-default settings.
