virtual computer allows this) adapter or install WinRoute Software Appliance on another type
of virtual machine. If such issue arises, it is highly recommended to consult the problem with
the Kerio Technologies technical support (see chapter 26 ).
provided that no network adapter can be detected, it is not possible to continue installing
WinRoute .
Setting of the local interface’s IP address
It is now necessary to define IP address and subnet mask for the selected local network inter-
face. These parameters can be defined automatically by using information from a DHCP server
or manually.
For the following reasons, it is recommended to set local interface parameters manually:
• Automatically assigned IP address can change which may cause problems with con-
nection to the firewall administration (although the IP address can be reserved on the
DHCP server, this may bring other problems).
• In most cases WinRoute will be probably used itself as a DHCP server for local hosts
(workstations).
Admin password
The installation requires specification of the password for the account Admin (the account of
the main administrator of the firewall). Username Admin with this password are then used for
access:
• to the firewall’s console (see chapter 2.11 ),
• to the remote administration of the firewall via the web administration interface (see
chapter 3 ),
• to the remote administration of the firewall via the Kerio Administration Console (see
chapter 3 ).
Remember this password or save it in a secured location and keep it from anyone else!
Time zone, date and time settings
Many WinRoute features (user authentication, logs, statistics, etc.) require correct setting of
date, time and time zone on the firewall. Select your time zone and in the next page check
(and change, if necessary) date and time settings.
Completing the installation
Once all these parameters are set, the WinRoute Firewall Engine service (daemon) is started.
While the firewall is running, the firewall’s console will display information about remote ad-
ministration options and change of some basic configuration parameters — see chapter 2.11 .
