The Test LED remains on for about 2 minutes.

The VPN firewall reboots. The reboot process is complete after several minutes when the Test LED on the front panel goes off. Warning: When you push the hardware reset button or click the software Default button, the VPN firewall settings are erased. All firewall rules, VPN policies, LAN/WAN settings, and other settings are lost. Back up your settings if you intend on using them. Note: After rebooting with factory default settings, the VPN firewall's password is password and the LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1. Upgrading the Firmware and Rebooting the VPN Firewall You can install a different version of the VPN firewall firmware from the Settings Backup and Firmware Upgrade screen (see Figure 8-6 on page 8-17).
