Notes on Using Release 3.2
MIGRATING FROM SURFCONTROL TO TRUSTED SOURCE WEB FILTER
To convert an existing SurfControl web filter configuration to the new TrustedSource™ service requires
the following steps in the LSM:
a) Go to Firewall > Web Filter and change the Web Filter Service pulldown to “Trusted Source”.
b) Edit each Web Filter Profile in turn by clicking the name of the profile. For each profile:
• Chose whether to enable the Web Reputation service. 3Com recommends enabling
this service with a Permitted Threshold of “Unverified” or safer.
• Select the Core and Productivity categories you want to permit or block.
• Optionally update the Custom Response page to make use of the new tags -
%reputation% and %reason%. These give your users more insight into why a web site
was blocked.
• Click Save.
The Web Filter profile will now contain category selections for both SurfControl and TrustedSource™
Which category settings are used will depend on whether the Web Filter service is set to SurfControl or
TrustedSource™. The settings in the profile for the Filtering Action, Default Rule, Block Page and
Custom Filter list are shared for both SurfControl and TrustedSource™ services.
The Online Help offers full information on configuring the TrustedSource™ service.

The browser cache must be cleared after installing Release 3.2 to avoid problems displaying the new
web interface configuration pages in the LSM.
BROWSER SUPPORT
The X family platforms support Microsoft Internet Explorer 6+ or Firefox 1.5+. This includes both
administration and user authentication.

achieve this is to schedule the update to run automatically through AutoDV at a scheduled time during
