2.4 Installation - Windows

Note:
1.
WinRoute installation packages include the Kerio Administration Console. The separate
Kerio Administration Console installation package (file kerio-kwf-admin*.exe) is de-
signed for full remote administration from another host. This package is identical both for
32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems. For details on WinRoute administration, see chapter
2.
For correct functionality of the Kerio StaR interface (see chapter
), it is necessary that
the WinRoute host’s operating system supports all languages that would be used in the
Kerio StaR interface. Some languages (Chinese, Japanese, etc.) may require installation of
supportive files. For details, refer to documents regarding the corresponding operating
system.
Steps to be taken before the installation
Install WinRoute on a computer which is used as a gateway connecting the local network and
the Internet. This computer must include at least one interface connected to the local network
(Ethernet, WiFi, etc.) and at least one interface connected to the Internet. You can use either
a network adapter (Ethernet, WiFi, etc.) or a modem (analog, ISDN, etc.) as an Internet interface.
We recommend you to check through the following items before you run WinRoute installation:
•
Time of the operating system should be set correctly (for timely operating system and
antivirus upgrades, etc.),
•
The latest service packs and any security updates should be applied,
•
TCP/IP parameters should be set for all available network adapters,
•
All network connections (both to the local network and to the Internet) should function
properly. You can use for example the ping command to detect time that is needed
for connections.
These checks and pre-installation tests may protect you from later problems and complica-
tions.
Note: Basic installation of all supported operating systems include all components required
for smooth functionality of WinRoute.
Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
Once the installation program is launched (i.e. by kerio-kwf-6.6.0-5700-win32.exe), it is
possible to select a language for the installation wizard. Language selection affects only the
installation, language of the user interface can then be set separately for individual WinRoute
components.
In the installation wizard, you can choose either Full or Custom installation. Custom mode will
let you select optional components of the program:
