Planning the Network
Before installing, you should plan your network and decide which computer is to have access to which services. This
simplifies configuration and saves you a lot of time that you would otherwise need for corrections and adjustments.
Establishing an Address Table
Enter the configuration information (e.g., the IP addresses used, Net Mask addresses, and the Default Gateway) into the
appropriate field of the Address Table below. Please print this page and use it to fill in your specific ROUTEFINDER and
network information (e.g., the IP address used, email lists, etc.), and keep it for future reference.

System Administrator Required Planning
The system administrator must complete these setup requirements before installing the ROUTEFINDER software:
•
Set the correct configuration of the Default Gateway
•
Install an HTTPS-capable browser (e.g., the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator)
•
Activate JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets
•
Make sure that no proxies are entered in the browser
•
If Secure Shell (SSH) is to be used, you must install an SSH client program (e.g.,
PuTTY
in Windows 2000
or the bundled SSH client in most Linux packages).
