Managing D-Link DFL-700

When a change is

done to the

configuration a new

icon named

Activate

Changes

will appear.

When all changes and

administrator would like

to do is done the

changes need to be

saved and activated to

take effect, this is done

by clicking on the

Activate Changes

button on the Activate

Configuration Changes

page. What will happen

is that the firewall will

save the configuration

and reload it, letting the

new changes take effect.

But for the changes to

become permanent the admin need to login again. This have to be done before a configurable

timeout has been reached, this can be set on the Activate Configuration Changes page, by

choosing the time from the dropdown menu.

Resetting the DFL700

To reset the DFL-700 to factory default settings you must hold the reset button down for at

least 15 seconds after powering on the unit. You will first hear one beep, which will indicate

that the firmware have started and the restoring have started, keep the button pressed in until

you hear two consecutive beeps shortly after each other. After this you can release the reset

button and the DFL-700 will continue to load and startup in default mode, i.e. with 192.168.1.1

on the LAN interface.
