GNAT Box System Software Licensing Agreement
Selecting a GB-Ware Runtime
The GNAT Box System Software Runtime Installer screen will appear. If
you are upgrading, verify that your configuration has been backed up to
another location. Any information currently on the disk will be over-written
during the installation.
Select the desired GB-Ware runtime (executable) version from the list of
products in step 2. Use the
SPACE BAR
to cycle through available options,
or use the
F2
key to display a list of runtimes and the arrow keys to move
through the list. Once you have selected the desired option, use the
TAB
key
to move to the
OK
selection and press the
SPACE BAR
to begin the installa-
tion.
The default selection is the GB-Ware SIO runtime (the “serial interface
only” console version). Your selections will also include the GB-Ware video
console runtime, the BootManager SIO (which allows the user to change
console output from video to serial during boot), and BootManager video,
which allows the user to change console output from serial to video during
boot.
Note
If you want to manage the firewall remotely using either GBAdmin
or the web user interface instead of a console, don’t worry. Both
runtimes will provide this functionality, so you may choose either the
serial or video runtime. Because some advanced firewall functionality
is not configurable in the serial and video console interfaces, it’s
best to use them as a failsafe when network connectivity is down,
or for initial network interface configuration.
Note
The video version of the GB-Ware runtime does not have factory
default network settings, and hence does not initially allow any
network or serial connections. If you chose to install the video version
of the GB-Ware runtime, you will need to run the Setup Wizard to
enter basic network information before you can use your firewall.
