Overview:
With the factory reset, Seqrite UTM can be rolled back to the original state in which it was shipped. You have an option to reset the interface and also remove the registration. If you choose to select Factory Reset, all Seqrite UTM Settings, User Defined Settings, and User Database Settings will be removed including interface configuration. To access the appliance, change the IP Address of the client to access the subnet 192.168.1.0/24, then access the Web Admin Console over LAN port E0 on 192.168.1.1.
