Start ViPNet Coordinator [Monitor]

This topic applies to both ViPNet Coordinator and ViPNet Client.

To start ViPNet Coordinator [Monitor]:

Either:
- Press the Start button on your Windows taskbar and select All Programs > ViPNet > Coordinator > ViPNet Coordinator [Monitor] (Note: This path could have been changed during installation), or
- Double-click the icon on the desktop (this only displays if it was selected during installation).
  The following dialog box appears:

Type the password and click OK. The ViPNet Coordinator [Monitor] window appears:

The left part of the ViPNet Coordinator window contains configuration and administration functions. Information relating to the selected function displays in the right area of the screen.

By default, Private Network is selected. The right area of the screen shows all the ViPNet network nodes to which a connection was allowed during the creation of the network in ViPNet Manager.

Node names display in one of the following colors:

Color	Meaning
Grey	The network node is not yet set up or is offline
Blue	The local system
Red	Coordinators
Violet	Online clients

Note: Color codes can be changed by selecting Service > Color from the menu bar.

The status of each node is identified by one of the following icons:

Icon	Node status
	The local system (your node)
	Offline network node
	Online client
	Online coordinator (if this icon appears on a client, this coordinator is the IP addresses server for that client)

Private Network is also used with the next three functions in the configuration list (Public Network, Blocked Connections and Security Levels) for the configuration of the integrated firewall.

The Settings section allows you to define a connection type for the network node.

The remaining elements are mainly used to view statistical information and to make further administrative changes.
