•Name or IP address of the server and port of the server application (WinRoute uses port 44333).

Detection of WinRoute Firewall Engine connection drop-out
Administration Console is able to detect the connection failure automatically. The failure is usually detected upon an attempt to read/write the data from/to the server (i.e. when the Apply button is pressed or when a user switches to a different section of Administra- tion Console). In such case, a connection failure dialog box appears where the connection can be restored.
