Setting up the Management Station
Firebox Vclass User Guide 23
Setting up the Management Station
The Management Station runs Vcontroller software, which
is the primary administrative access to the appliance. The
Management Station can also
be used to archive log mes-
sages generated by the Log Manager. For more informa-
tion on the Log Manager, see “Using Log Manager” on
page 379.
You can use any computer or computers on your network
as Management Stations.
Installing Vcontroller on a Windows
workstation
Before you install Vcontroller software, make sure you
gather all of the network addressing information that rep-
resents your new Firebox Vclass security appliance. Use
the notes you completed in the previous section, “Gather-
ing Network Information” on page 22.

The installer installs a local copy of the correct version of the
Java Runtime Environment, to enable the software to run.
This installation of the JRE is independent of any other JRE
or JDK you install on your system. For additional updates,
check the WatchGuard Web site.
To install Vcontroller:
1 Remove the Vcontroller CD from the package and
insert it in the workstation CD-ROM.
2 Locate and double-click the CD-ROM drive icon
(usually found in the My Computer window). If
AutoRun is enabled on the CD drive, the Installer
launches automatically.
3 When the CD window contents appear, double-click
the Windows folder.
