2 – Installation 13

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 

 to cycle through available options, 

or use the 

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 

key 

to move to the 

selection and press the 

 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.

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.

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.
