Tips

This section is mainly aimed at IP consultants who install FireBricks. There are a few special functions which can be of use when installing and maintaining FireBricks.

These extra features are rarely used, and in some cases can have significant effect - as such, to avoid complicating the user interface and avoid accidental use, they require manual entry of a specific URL.

To access these features, you must log in using a fixed sesssion.  Do this by going to http://my.firebrick.co.uk/1/ and then log in as normal. This creates a session (number 1) which is associated with your login. Once logged in you can then access some special URLs, e.g. http://my.firebrick.co.uk/1/reboot will reboot the FireBrick immediately.
