Detection of WinRoute Firewall Engine connection drop-out
Administration Console is able to detect the connection failure automatically. The failure is
usually detected upon an attempt to read/write the data from/to the server (i.e. when the Ap-
ply button is pressed or when a user switches to a different section of Administration Console).
In such case, a connection failure dialog box appears where the connection can be restored.
Figure 3.3 Detection of WinRoute Firewall Engine connection drop-out
After you remove the cause of the connection failure, the connection can be restored. Admin-
istration Console provides the following options:
• Apply & Reconnect — connection to the server will be recovered and all changes done
in the current section of the Administration Console before the disconnection will be
saved,
• Reconnect — connection to the server will be recovered without saving any changes
performed in the particular section of the console before the disconnection.
If the reconnection attempt fails, only the error message is shown. You can then try to recon-
nect using the File → Restore connection option from the main menu, or close the window and
restore the connection using the standard procedure.

Many sections of the Administration Console are in table form where each line represents
one record (e.g. detailed information about user, information about interface, etc.) and the
columns consist of individual entries for these records (e.g. name of server, MAC address, IP
address, etc.).
WinRoute administrators can define — according to their liking — the way how the information
in individual sections will be displayed. When you right-click each of the above sections, a pop-
up menu with Modify columns option is displayed. This entry opens a dialog window where
users can select which columns will be displayed/hidden.
