Chapter 2 – Installation and Setup

System Administrator Planning

•
The system administrator must complete these setup requirements before installing the RouteFinder
software:
•
Set the correct configuration of the Default Gateway
•
Install an HTTPS-capable browser (e.g., the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator)
•
Activate JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets
•
Make sure that no proxies are entered in the browser
•
If Secure Shell (SSH) is to be used, you must install an SSH client program (e.g., PuTTY in Windows or
the bundled SSH client in most Linux packages).

Planning the Network

Before you begin the installation process, you should plan your network and decide which computer is to have
access to which services. This simplifies configuration and saves you a lot of time that you would otherwise
need for corrections and adjustments.
RouteFinder Connection between Your Internal Network and the External Network

Establishing an Address Table

Enter your configuration information into the appropriate field of the Address Table below. You can use this table
to keep track of your specific RouteFinder and network information (e.g., the IP address used, email lists, etc.)
and keep for future reference.
