The viewer can be started by choosing Programs → Kerio → Network Monitor in the menu Start. The login dialog is shown after the program is started .
In the section Login to choose, where the Kerio Network Monitor Daemon service is running:
- local NetMon service Daemon
The service is running on the same computer as the viewer.
- remote service on
T he service is running on another (remote) computer.
Insert IP address or DNS name of the host on which the service is running (the term “server” will be used in the further text), or select any server to which Kerio Network Monitor has been already connected. Kerio Network Monitor keeps names (or IP addresses) of all servers to which it has been connected successfully, including their usernames. Failed connection attempts are not kept. Passwords are not stored for security reasons.
Note: By entering the name localhost or the loopback address 127.0.0.1, you will get the same effect as by choosing local NetMon service Daemon — connection to the service running on the local computer.
User authentication — enter your user name and password. In case you are logging to Kerio Network Monitor for the first time (after installation), use the predefined user account Admin and leave the password empty. To store passwords in user profiles so that it is not necessary to specify them for each connection use the Store password in user profile option.
You can perform the login by pressing the button Login. The button Cancel cancels the login dialog and also closes the viewer. The More >> button expands the dialog by other options. When pressed, it changes to Less << — it allows the expanded options to be hidden.
- Store password in user profile
User name and password will be stored into the user profile in Windows and it will not be necessary to enter it on each login. We recommend to use this option only when there is no risk of access rights misuse by another person!
- Don't restore windows settings
The viewer will not restore the layout of the individual windows. This can be helpful e.g. when connecting remotely via slow line(it can significantly decrease the amount of transferred data), or in case that more people uses the same user account.
