4 – Troubleshooting 51

Those upgrading from GNAT Box System Software version 2.x or 
lower should record all configuration data and use it as a guide to 
enter  new  configuration  data  manually.  You  may  use  the  web 
interface to print the configuration or manually record it.

1)  Once you have installed GB-Ware on a Compact Flash card or hard 

drive, power up the GB-Ware firewall.

2)  Overwrite the default GB-Ware configuration with your network in-

formation. See the configuration chapter for instructions on entering 
this information. 
If you have installed the SIO (“serial console only”) version of the 
runtime, when the boot process is complete, the firewall will be un-
registered and configured with factory default settings; use the web 
interface, GBAdmin or the serial console to enter your network set-
tings. If you have installed the video console version of the GNAT 
Box runtime, use the video console’s Setup Wizard. 

3)  Access the GB-Ware firewall on its protected network interface to 

test firewall connectivity. 

For the upgrade, connectivity with the protected network interface 
is  particularly  important;  you  will  use  the  protected  interface  to 
connect to the GB-Ware firewall using GBAdmin or the web interface, 
and transfer the GB-Ware firewall configuration. 

Unless you are uploading a new version of GNAT Box System Software 
to the same firewall, you will need to merge the configuration of the old 
firewall with the new GB-Ware configuration. Configuration merging can 
currently only be achieved by using GBAdmin. 

1)  Start your new version of GBAdmin. (In Windows, go to Start Menu/

Programs/GTA/GB-Ware 3.x.x/GBAdmin.) 

2)  Make sure the GB-Ware firewall is powered on and connectivity is 

possible.

3)  In GBAdmin, click File then Open. Select the 

 radio button. 

In the S

OURCE

 field, enter the GB-Ware firewall’s protected network 

interface IP address. Click the 

 button.
