WinRoute Administration
All Kerio products including WinRoute are administered through the Kerio Administra-
tion Console application(an application used for administration of all Kerio Technologies’
server products; thereinafter Administration Console). Using this program you can ac-
cess WinRoute Firewall Engine either locally (from the Engine host) or remotely (from
another host). Traffic between Administration Console and WinRoute Firewall Engine is
encrypted. This protects you from tapping and misuse.
The Administration Console is installed along with WinRoute (see chap-
ters
2.3 and 2.4). For its usage details, see Administration Console Help
(http://www.kerio.com/kwf-manual).
The following chapters of this guide provide descriptions on individual sections of the
WinRoute administration dialog window which is opened upon a successful login to the
WinRoute Firewall Engine.
Notes:
1. Administration Console for WinRoute is available in English, Spanish, Czech and Slo-
vak.
2. Upon the first login to WinRoute after a successful installation, the traffic rules wiz-
ard is run so that the initial WinRoute configuration can be performed. For a detailed
description on this wizard please refer to chapter
6.16.1.
3.1 Administration Window
The main WinRoute administration dialog window (“administration window”) will be
opened upon a successful login to the WinRoute Firewall Engine through the Admin-
istration Console. This window is divided into two parts:
The left column contains the tree view of sections. The individual sections of the
tree can be expanded and collapsed for easier navigation. Administration Console
remembers the current tree settings and uses them upon the next login.
In the right part of the window, the contents of the section selected in the left column
is displayed (or a list of sections in the selected group).
