Smart_Scan_Source
When in smart scan mode, the OfficeScan client first scans for security risks locally. If the client cannot determine the risk of the file during the scan, the client connects to a Smart Scan Server.
The Smart Scan Server the client connects to depends on the client computer’s location. Internal clients connect to local Smart Scan Servers (integrated or standalone), while external clients connect to the Global Smart Scan Server. For details in configuring location settings, see Computer Location.
You can configure clients to use proxy settings when connecting to the Global Smart Scan Server. For details, see External Proxy.
If you have installed local Smart Scan Servers, configure the Smart Scan Server list on the OfficeScan Web console. An internal client picks a server from the list if it needs to send scan queries. If a client is unable to connect to the first server, it picks another server on the list, and so on.
Assign a standalone Smart Scan Server as the primary scan source and the integrated server as a backup. This reduces the scan query traffic directed to the computer that hosts the OfficeScan server and integrated server. The standalone server can also process more scan queries.
To configure the Smart Scan Server list:
Smart Scan > Scan Source > Internal Clients
Select whether clients will use the Standard List or Custom Lists.
Click Notify All Clients. Smart scan clients automatically refer to the list you have configured.
