Connecting to a Firebox
When launched, System Manager automatically prompts
you to connect to the last Firebox with which it established
a connection. You can connect to that Firebox or you can
specify a different one. From System Manager:
1 Click the Main Menu button (shown at right).
Select
Connect
.
The Connect to Firebox dialog box appears.
2 Use the Firebox drop-down list to select a Firebox.
You can also type the IP address or DNS name of the Firebox.
When typing IP addresses, type the digits and periods in
sequence. Do not use the TAB or arrow key to jump past the
periods. For more information on entering IP addresses, see
“Entering IP addresses” on page 43.
3
Enter the Firebox status passphrase.
4
Click OK .
System Manager connects to the Firebox and displays its real-
time status.

You can change the interval of time (in seconds) at which
System Manager polls the Firebox and updates the Front

accurate the display, but also the more demand made of
the Firebox.
1 Click the Main Menu button. Click Settings .
2 Type or use the scroll control to change the polling rate.
Click
OK .
