Using the front panel’s control buttons and LCD display
On FortiMail-400 and FortiMail-2000 models, you can use the front panel’s control buttons and LCD display to configure:
- IP addresses and netmasks for each of the network interfaces
- the default gateway
- the operating mode
You can also use the front panel to reset the FortiMail unit to the default settings for its firmware version.
Table 5: Control buttons on the front panel
| Button | Description |
| Enter | Move into the currently selected menu area, or confirm your selected option. |
| Esc | Exit the current menu area. |
| Up | Select the previous option, or increase the number for an IP address, default gateway address, or netmask. |
| Down | Select the next option, or decrease the number for an IP address, default gateway address, or netmask. |
After using the front panel to configure these basic settings, you must still connect to the web UI to complete additional setup. To continue, see “Connecting to the FortiMail web UI for the first time” on page 25.
