Once configured, the appliance cannot be changed to another security mode without first restoring the factory image. The security mode cannot be changed by running firstboot again.
Web browsers with the Appliance Manager
V-Series appliances are configured and maintained with a Web-based user interface called the Appliance Manager. The Appliance Manager should be used with one of these supported browsers:
*
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and 9
*
Mozilla Firefox versions 5 and later
*
Google Chrome 13 and later
 
* 
Note 
If you are using Internet Explorer, make sure that Enhanced Security Configuration is turned off.
When you access the Appliance Manager for the first time, you will get a certificate warning because the Appliance Manager offers a self-signed certificate. To eliminate the warnings, install the certificate into your browser's CA store. For instructions, see your browser documentation.
