Questions

Below are a collection of frequently asked questions (FAQ).  For a more up to

Frequently Asked Questions

What will a power outage do? 

Without power no data will be able to go through the firewall. If you have 
saved your config to the memory of the firewall (such as the config boot 
location) then it will still be there when you boot up again. If your changes 
were only made in the config current location then your changes are erased 
and you will need to load them  from a backup copy.

However, after 2 day without power your MultiCom Firewall will forget what 
the date is and reset itself back to January 1970.  You would need to rest the 
date to the current time.

Can I back up my configuration? 

Yes, you can save your configuration to a text file. Refer to the section on 
saving your configuration
