We recommend keeping original port numbers on
server and client part parts.
RA console setup
The console can be congured in the menu
Tools / Console Options…
Columns – Show / Hide tab:
Here you can dene, what attributes should be
displayed in individual console tabs.
Colors tab:
Here you can dene what colors will be assigned for
what events.
Clients: Previous Version – color of previous virus signature
database (compared with current)
Clients: Older Version or N/A – color of older virus
signature database (compared with current), or color
of unknown database.
Clients: Last Connected – color of client which was not
connected for the longest time. This option can be
set.
Clients: Last Virus Alert – color of last virus event.
Clients: Last Event – color of last event – other than virus
event.
Clients: AMON Stopped – color assigned to client with
AMON turned o.
Event Log: Diagnostic – color of events classied as
“Diagnostic“.
Event Log: Warning – color of events classied as
“Warning“.
Paths tab:
Here you can specify a directory to which the console
will locally save reports downloaded from RAS. By
default, it is the directory relative to CONSOLE.EXE, strictly
speaking .\Reports.
Other Settings tab:
Appearance of the date/time columns
Time display format.
Absolute – console will display absolute time (e.g.:
14:30:00).
Relative – console will display relative time (e.g.: 2 weeks
ago).
Regional – console will display time according to regional
settings (taken from the Windows settings).
Recalculate UTC time to your local time (use local time) –
Check this checkbox to recalculate to your local time.
Otherwise, GMT – UTC time will be displayed.
Other settings
Auto Apply Changes – lter automatically selects appro-
priate data as soon as any change is done (except the
change of dened client name or server)
Use automatic refresh X – automatic data refresh in a cur-
rent folder and in chosen interval (X minutes).
Empty console recycle bins at application exit – click to re-
move items from internal recycle bin of the console
after nishing working with it. You can select it in the
Reports tab.
Show gridlines – click to separate all individual cells of all
tabs by gridlines.
Use systray icon – console will be represented by
a Windows system tray icon.
Show on taskbar when minimized – denes if the consol
should be minimized on the Windows taskbar.
Use highlighted systray icon when problematic clients found
– use this option, together with the Edit button
to dene events, which will trigger a change of the
systray icon color. So if, for example, you minimize the
RA console program, by the change of color you will
see that a new problem has occurred.
In a larger network, with more workstations, these
features will come in handy:
Selection of more records can be performed, for
example, by pressing the CTRL key and left clicking on
the selected items, or in a similar way, but with the SHIFT
key. Press the key combination “CTRL” and “A” to select all
workstations.
Groups
Individual clients can be placed in groups using the
Edit / Groups feature from the console menu. Placing into
groups can be used to lter or to create tasks, since the
tasks can be applied to the whole group. The groups are
independent to each server – they do not replicate.
