3.1 Administration Console - the main window

29

The left column contains the tree view of sections. The individual sections of the

tree can be expanded and collapsed for easier navigation. Administration Console

remembers the current tree settings and uses them upon the next login.

In the right part of the window, the contents of the section selected in the left column

is displayed (or a list of sections in the selected group).

Administration Window — Main menu

The main menu provides the following options:

File

Reconnect — reconnection to the WinRoute Firewall Engine after a connection

drop-out (caused for example by a restart of the Engine or by a network error).

New connection — opens the main window of the Administration Console. Use

a bookmark or the login dialog to connect to a server.

This option can be useful when the console will be used for administration of

multiple server applications (e.g. WinRoute at multiple servers). For details, refer

to the Help section in the Administration Console manual.

Note: The New Connection option opens the same dialog as running the Adminis-

tration Console from the Start menu.

Quit — this option terminates the session (users are logged out of the server and

the administration window is closed). The same effect can be obtained by clicking

the little cross in the upper right corner of the window or pressing Alt+F4 or

Ctrl+Q.

The Edit menu (on the welcome page only)

Options under Edit are related to product registration and licensing. The options available

in the menu depend on the registration status (for example, if the product is registered

as a trial version, it is possible to use options of registration of a purchased license or

a change of registration data).

Copy license number to clipboard — copies the license number (the ID licence

item) to the clipboard. This may be helpful e.g. when ordering an upgrade or

subscription, where the number of the base license is required, or when sending

an issue to the Kerio Technologies technical support.

Register trial version — registration of the product’s trial version.

Register product — registration of a product with a purchased license number.

Install license — use this option to import your license key file (for details, see

chapter

4.4

).

Help menu

Show Server’s Identity — this option provides information about the firewall

which the Administration Console is currently connected to (name or IP address

of the server, port and SSL-certificate fingerprint). This information can be used
