IP address — public IP address of the host which the client connects from (see the

Hostname column above).

Client status — connecting, authenticating (WinRoute verifies username and password),

authenticated (username and password correct, client configuration in progress), con-

nected (the configuration has been completed, the client can now communicate with

hosts within the local network).

Note: Disconnected clients are removed from the list automatically.

19.4 Alerts

WinRoute enables automatic sending of messages informing the administrator about impor-

tant events. This makes WinRoute administration more comfortable, since it is not necessary

to connect to the firewall via the Administration Console too frequently to view all status in-

formation and logs (however, this does not mean that it is not worthy to do this occasionally).

WinRoute generates alert messages upon detection of any specific event for which alerts are

preset. All alert messages are recorded into the Alert log (see chapter

22.3

). The WinRoute

administrator can specify which alerts will be sent to whom, as well as a format of the alerts.

Sent alerts can be viewed in Status Alerts.

Note: SMTP relay must be set in WinRoute (see chapter

18.3

), otherwise alerting will not work.

Alerts Settings

Alerts settings can be configured in the Alerts settings tab under Configuration Accounting.
