Defining Settings

The Settings page allows you to define settings for the following.

1. eScan Management Console (EMC) - Using this section you can define settings for FTP

sessions, Log Settings, Client Grouping and Client connection settings.

2. Web Console Settings -Using this section you can define settings for Web Console

timeout, Dashboard Settings, Login Page settings, SQL Server Connection settings, SQL

Database compression settings.

3. Update Settings -Using this section you can define general configuration settings for,

Settings for Update Notifications, and scheduling Update Downloads for the server.

eScan Management Console Settings

The EMC Settings page includes several options that allow you to configure the eScan Management Console. You can configure the FTP settings, Bind to IP Settings, and log settings by selecting the options appropriate for your network.

You can bind announcement of FTP Server to particular IP by selecting the IP address in the list. However, you can choose to leave it as 0.0.0.0, which mean it will announce on all available interface/IP.

You can also enable FTP settings such as allowing upload of log file to eScan Server by Endpoints by selecting the Allow Upload by Clientscheck box. If you are doing that, you can set a limit for the maximum number of FTP sessions allowed. If you specify this number as 0, it means that any number of Endpoints can connect to FTP server for uploading files.

By checking Delete the user settings and user log files after uninstalling check box you can opt to delete User settings and Log files once eScan Client is uninstalled on that computer. You can also define the number of days for which Log should be maintained by defining the days in the field for No. of days Client logs should be kept.

The steps to configure the EMC settings are as follows:

1. To configure the Bind IP address, under BIND IP, in the box, click the required IP address.

The default IP address is 0.0.0.0.

2. To allow uploads by Endpoints, under FTP Settings, select the Allow Upload by Clients check

box.

3. To restrict the maximum number of FTP connections, in the Maximum FTP Clients allowed box,

type or select the maximum number of FTP Connections to be allowed. The default value is 0;

this allows an unlimited number of FTP connection.

4. To specify the number of days for which EMC should maintain client computer logs, under

LOG Settings, in the no. of days Client logs should be kept box, type or select the number of

days.

5. Under Client Grouping section, you can sort group clients either by NetBIOS or DNS domain.

This setting is especially useful only during fresh client installations. After installation, it

enables you to manually manage domains and the clients grouped under them.

• Click NetBIOS, if you want to sort clients only by hostname.

• Click DNSDomain, if you want to sort clients by hostname containing the domain name.

• Click Save button to implement the defined settings.

Web Console Settings

Using this section you can define settings for Web Console timeout, Dashboard Settings, Login Page settings, SQL Server Connection settings, SQL Database compressionsettings.

1. Web Console timeout settings –Select the Enable timeout settings option and define the

time to automatically Log out Web Console when idle beyond the defined minutes.

2. Dashboard Settings – Define the number of Days for which you wish to View the Status,

Statistics and Protection Status Charts in the Dashboard of eScan Management Console.

3. Login page Settings – Define the settings to show or Hide Link for downloading eScan

Client and MWAgent to facilitate manual download and installation on Endpoints.

4. SQL Server Connection settings – Select the SQL server and define Server instance, and

Host Name along with the credentials for connecting to the database.

5. SQL Database Purge Settings – Define the size Limit for the database as well as specify

the number of days to compress the Database folder if it is older than the defined period.

6. Click Save' to save the defined settings.

Update Settings

The Update module automatically keeps your virus definitions up to date and protects your computer from emerging species of viruses and other malicious programs. You can configure eScan to download updates automatically either from eScan update servers or from the local network by using FTP or HTTP.

You can access the update settings page from the navigation Panel. This page provides you with information regarding the mode of updation. It also provides you with options for configuring the module. It also helps the Update module to download updates automatically.

1. General Config –The General Config tab provides you with general options for configuring

the update module. These include selecting the mode, and configuring the proxy and network settings.

You can configure eScan to download updates from eScan update servers by using any of the available modes such as FTP, HTTP, and Network. If you are using HTTP or FTP proxy servers, you need to configure the proxy settings and provide the IP address of the server, the port number, and the authentication credentials of the proxy server. In case of FTP servers, you also need to provide the format for the user id in the Logon Type section.

You can also select the Network mode for downloading updates. However, to do this, you must specify the source UNC path in the Source UNC Path box.

2. Update Notification – The Update Notification tab helps you to configure the actions that

eScan should perform after updater downloads the eScan updates.

You can configure eScan to send an e mail notification to a specified e mail address from a specified e mail address after successful update. To use this feature, you must also specify the IP address of SMTP server and its port number.

3. Scheduling –The eScan Scheduler automatically checks eScan Web site for updates and

downloads the latest updates when they are available. It also allows you to schedule

downloads to occur on specific days or at a specific time.

You can configure the update module to query and download the latest updates automatically from the MicroWorld Web site by selecting Automatic Download. In this case, you may want to specify a query interval after which eScan should query the Web site for latest updates. The default interval is 120 minutes, but you can choose an interval from the Query Interval list.

You can also schedule downloads to occur on specific days or on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis and at a specific time. When you configure this setting, the scheduler checks the eScan server for latest updates on the specified day at the specified time and downloads them if they are available.
