Hardware Specifications
Use the LCD Interface
You can use the LCD interface and buttons for different operations.
The XTM 5 Series can operate in two modes:
Normal Mode
The device normal operating mode, with the XTM 5 Series device booting from the Fireware XTM OS
and operating with the rules set in the configuration file you have saved to the device.
Safe Mode
In safe mode, you can get access to an XTM 5 Series device when normal access to the device is lost.
You can also use safe mode to reset device passphrases when you do not know or have forgotten
them. To recover the device while started from safe mode, you must use the Quick Setup Wizard.
You must put the XTM 5 Series device into safe mode to use the Quick Setup Wizard. In safe mode,
the device is running Fireware XTM and is configured with factory-default IP addresses. If you want to
reconfigure a device with the Quick Setup Wizard, the license files and certificates are saved when
you put the device into safe mode.
To put an XTM 5 Series device into safe mode, press the down arrow button on the device front panel
during bootup. Keep the button depressed until you see the words “WatchGuard Technologies.”
When the device is in safe mode, the LCD display shows the model number followed by the word
“Safe”.
