Performing a restart

The device is restarted with the configured settings.
Press the ON/OFF button of the device already started for approximately 5 s to switch
off the device. (Alternatively, disconnect the power supply and then connect it again.)
Then press the ON/OFF button again shortly to restart the device.
7.8.1
Performing a recovery procedure
The network configuration (but not the rest of the configuration) is to be reset to the delivery
state, as it is no longer possible to access the mGuard.
Use the recovery procedure in case you have forgotten the IP address under which the de-
vice can be accessed.
The following network setting is restored:
Table 7-4
Restored network setting
Network mode
Management IP #1
Router
The mGuard is reset to router mode with the fixed IP address.
The CIFS integrity monitoring function is also disabled because this only works when
the management IP is active.
In addition, MAU configuration is activated for the Ethernet connections. HTTPS ac-
cess is enabled via the local Ethernet connection (LAN).
The settings configured for VPN connections and the firewall are retained, including
passwords.
NOTE: After the recovery procedure has been performed successfully, a previously cre-
ated configuration profile in the mGuard should be loaded and activated again. Then the
network settings must be adapted.
Possible reasons for performing the recovery procedure:
The mGuard is in PPPoE mode.
The configured device address of the mGuard differs from the default setting.
The current IP address of the device is not known.
Up-to-date information on the recovery and flashing procedure can be found in the appli-
cation note for your mGuard firmware version.
