3. Configure Server Settings.

   Option	Description
   Server address	Type the Trend Micro Apex Central server FQDN or IP address.
   Port	Type the port number that the MCP agent uses to communicate with Trend Micro Apex Central. Select Use HTTPS if the Trend Micro Apex Central security is set to medium or high. Medium: Trend Micro allows HTTPS and HTTP communication between Trend Micro Apex Central and the MCP agent of managed products. High: Trend Micro only allows HTTPS communication between Trend Micro Apex Central and the MCP agent of managed products.
   User name and password	Type the logon credentials for the IIS server used by Trend Micro Apex Central if your network requires authentication.
   Connect using a proxy server	Optionally select Connect using a proxy server. For details, see Configuring Proxy Settings.

4. (Optional) Configure Incoming Connections from Apex Central settings.
   1. Select Receive connections through a NAT device to use a NAT device.
   2. Type the IP address of the NAT device.
   3. Type the port number.
5. (Optional) Under Suspicious Object Synchronization, do the following:
   1. Select Synchronize suspicious objects from Apex Central.
   2. Type an API Key.

      Note Log on to Trend Micro Apex Central to obtain an API key.

      Deep Discovery Email Inspector synchronizes suspicious object lists from Trend Micro Apex Central every 20 seconds, and displays the time of the last synchronization.

   Attention You can only choose to synchronize suspicious objects with one source. If you enable Deep Discovery Email Inspector to synchronize with Trend Micro Apex Central, you will not receive suspicious objects from any other external sources. If you register Deep Discovery Email Inspector to both Deep Discovery Director 5.0 (or later) and Trend Micro Apex Central, Deep Discovery Email Inspector synchronizes suspicious objects and exception lists from Deep Discovery Director only. You can check the synchronization status on the Deep Discovery Director management console. If you unregister Deep Discovery Email Inspector from Deep Discovery Director and Deep Discovery Email Inspector is still registered to Trend Micro Apex Central, you must configure the settings again to synchronize suspicious objects from Trend Micro Apex Central. If you are using an external sandbox, verify that the external sandbox is configured to send suspicious objects to Trend Micro Apex Central before selecting this option.
