Setting Signature Update Options
To set signature update options, choose
Scanner > Signature Update Options
. The
Signature Update Options dialog box that opens consists of three tabs:
•Schedule
• Incoming
• Outgoing (These options are not supported on the Snap Server.)
Use these options to set up when to collect the signature updates, where to get
them, and which engine versions and platforms to include.
The signature updates that are appropriate for your configuration are available by
default. Snap Servers are preconfigured to get signatures via ftp from ftpav.ca.com.
To update a server, you simply use the Schedule tab to set a time for the signature
update job (or you can get the signatures immediately).
Setting Schedule Options
Use the Schedule tab to enable scheduled downloads, and to specify the date, time,
and repeat values for the signature update. You can schedule a signature update job
to download the signature update immediately, or schedule the signature update
job to run once or repeatedly at specified time intervals.
Download Now — Use this button to perform an immediate signature update job.
The settings on the Incoming tab (see following section) are used for this job.
Enable Scheduled Download — Use this option to indicate that scheduled
automatic downloads will be done. To have the signature updates distributed
automatically on a machine, you must invoke this option. When this option is not in
effect, the scheduled download feature is disabled.
Download Date and Time — Use the Date option to specify the month, day, and
year for the job. The drop-down arrow displays a calendar you can use to select a
date. Use the Time option to specify the time of day for the job, in hours and
minutes.
Repeat Every — Use these options to specify how often to run a periodic signature
update job. You can schedule a signature update job to run at a regularly scheduled
time, in months, days, hours, or minutes.
