Flash Upgrade - Secure Computing SG300 User Manual

Reset button
Another method to clear the SnapGear unit's stored configuration information is by
pushing the reset button on the back panel of the SnapGear unit twice. A bent paper clip
is a suitable tool for performing this procedure.
This is particularly useful should the SnapGear unit become uncontactable, e.g. due to
misconfiguration.
Pushing the reset button twice clears all stored configuration information, reverts all
settings to the factory defaults, and reboots the SnapGear unit.
Note
When the SnapGear unit reboots, it has an IP address of 192.168.0.1, netmask
255.255.255.0.
Disabling the reset button on your SG PCI appliance
For convenience, the SnapGear unit ships with the rear panel Reset button enabled.
This allows the SnapGear unit's configuration to be reset to factory defaults.
From a network security standpoint, it may be desirable to disable the Reset switch after
initial setup has been performed. This is accomplished by removing the jumper linking
CON2 on the SnapGear unit.
This jumper is labeled Remove Link to Disable Erase.

Flash upgrade

Periodically, Secure Computing may release new versions of firmware for your SnapGear
unit. If a new version fixes an issue you've been experiencing, or contains a new feature
you wish to use, contact SG technical support for information on obtaining the latest
firmware. You can then load the new firmware with a flash upgrade.
Note
Please read the appendix entitled Firmware Upgrade Practices and Precautions before
attempting a firmware upgrade.
