GB-Ware Firewall Product Guide 20
During installation, you chose the video or the serial console version of the
GNAT Box runtime. These methods can be used during setup, or when you
have direct physical access to the firewall, or as a failsafe if the network is
down and you can no longer administer your firewall remotely. Addition-
ally, you may choose to set up your firewall over a peer Ethernet connection
using GBAdmin or a web user interface.
Note
You do not have to install separate GNAT Box runtimes to activate
the GBAdmin or web user interfaces; they are included with the
installation of a video or serial console runtime version. However, if
you installed GB-Ware’s video runtime version, you will have to use
the video console’s Setup Wizard before your firewall will allow you
to connect any other way.
Note
If you installed the serial console version of the GB-Ware runtime,
the video console connection mode may not be available. Conversely,
if you installed the video console version of GB-Ware, the serial
console version may not be available to you.

Physically Connecting Your GB-Ware Firewall
Depending upon which user interface (UI) you choose to use for initial
firewall configuration, you may need to attach different hardware to your
GB-Ware firewall.
