Kerio Network Monitor can be installed on any computer in your local network running Windows 95 OSR2, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000 or XP operating system. Older versions are not supported.
Installation is performed by running the installation archive e.g.:
kerio-netmon-2.10-en-win.exe
During the installation, the user can choose, which components of Kerio Network Monitor are to be installed:
- NetMon Daemon
Monitoring service (Daemon). It must be installed on the computer, where you want to monitor the communication (typically e.g. on the Internet gateway).
Note: License conditions allow to install the monitoring service only on one computer. If you want perform monitoring in more places, appropriate number of Kerio Network Monitor licenses must be purchased.
- NetMon Application
Viewer. It can be installed on any number of computers, where you will connect to the service from.
Note: We recommend to install the viewer also on the computer, where will be the monitoring service (Daemon) installed (to allow local connection in case of any problems with the network; in the case of Windows 9x/Me it is the only way how to stop and start the service — see chapter 5.2).
The Daemon is started automatically (there is no need to restart the computer) after installation. From now on it is possible to log in to the viewer (see chapter 5.1).
If you would like to upgrade Kerio Network Monitor or uninstall the program, you must stop the viewer. Kerio Network Monitor Daemon does not have to be stopped manually, because the installation program will stop it automatically.
To perform the upgrade procedure run the installation program (can be obtained e.g. from the Internet pages of its producer — www.kerio.com). The original version needn't to be uninstalled. The installation program automatically detects the folder of previous version and installs in it. After successful upgrade the Kerio Network Monitor Daemon is started automatically.
Uninstallation of Kerio Network Monitor can be performed by choosing the Add / Remove Software option in the Control Panels. When uninstalling, the folders and files within, in which the scanned data is stored, are not deleted. They must be removed manually (or can be used for the next installation of Kerio Network Monitor, moved to another computer, etc.).
Note: If you will forget to stop the viewer or the installation program will be unable to stop the service, the installation program will require reboot of the computer.
