Password and its confirmation must be entered in the dialog for account settings. Name Admin
can be changed in the Username edit box.
Note: If the installation is running as an upgrade, this step is skipped since the administrator
account already exists.
Remote Access
Immediately after the first WinRoute Firewall Engine startup all network traffic will be blocked
(desirable traffic must be permitted by traffic rules — see chapter
). If WinRoute is installed
remotely (i.e. using terminal access), communication with the remote client will be also inter-
rupted immediately (WinRoute must be configured locally).
Within Step 2 of the configuration wizard specify the IP address of the host from which the
firewall will be controlled remotely to enable remote installation and administration. Thus
WinRoute will enable all traffic between the firewall and the remote host.
Note: Skip this step if you install WinRoute locally. Allowing full access from a point might
endanger security.
