You should be able to ping the Firebox again with the same
IP address you used earlier. At this point, you should be
able to connect back to the Firebox through System Man-
ager and reinstall the Firebox into the network.
Method 3: Using the Reset Button - Firebox
Models 500, 700, 1000, 2500, 4500
You can use the Reset button method only on the Firebox
models 500, 700, 1000, 2500, and 4500. Before you start,
assign the IP address of your management station to be on
the 192.168.253.0 network. Do not use the 192.168.253.1
address, which is being held by the Firebox as a default.
The subnet is 255.255.255.0.
It is recommended that you give your computer’s default
gateway an IP address of 192.168.253.1.

Disconnect the Firebox from the network.

Start with the Firebox turned off. Hold down the Reset
button on the back of the Firebox and turn on the
