Changing the Configuration Mode
Warning: You need to know what happens if you're currently in advanced mode:
Basic → Advanced Advanced → Basic The Untangle Server preserves all your settings when you switch from Standard Mode to Advanced Mode. The Untangle Server preserves all your the settings that exist in basic mode when you switch from Advanced Mode to Standard Mode. In other words, the Untangle Server deletes all settings that do not exist in basic mode. So, back up your configuration.
To change the Untangle Server's mode:
Before You Begin:
If your Untangle Server is currently in Standard Mode and simply want to experiment with Advanced Mode, back up your configuration as this change deletes your existing settings.
- From the Navigation pane, choose Config > Networking.
- Do one of the following:
- If you are currently in standard mode, click the Status tab, click on the Advanced drop-down menu button, then click on the Switch to Advanced Mode button.
- If you are currently in advanced mode, click on the Advanced drop-down menu button, then click the Configuration Wizard link from the Configuration Level window.
