The Smart Protection Source option enables you to add, delete, import, and export smart scan servers according to your personal requirements. This section explains the various options and settings available to you, and how to configure them.
If your smart server becomes unavailable, PortalProtect will load local virus patterns for scanning your files. When Smart Protection becomes available again, PortalProtect will automatically unload the local virus pattern files and load smart scan patterns and continue scanning files through your smart scan server. You can configure your system to send an email alert whenever the smart server becomes available or unavailable.
Click Smart Protection > Local Sources. The Local Sources screen appears.
To add a smart protection server:
You can click Import to import a server list and Export to export one.
Click Add. The Add Smart Protection Server screen appears.
Type the following information:
-Server name or address
-File Reputation Service Port
-SSL
-Web Reputation Service Port
Click either the File or Web Reputation test button to test the connection.
Click Add to complete and save your settings.
If you have more than one Smart Protection Server listed, you can choose the order in which PortalProtect will query them. As listed will query according to the priority shown. Random will query the listed servers in a random fashion. Whenever the system is unable to connect to a Smart Protection Server, it will attempt to connect to next server according to the query order you choose.
