The communication between SMD and the Control Manager uses a new protocol called the
Trend Micro Control Manager Management Communication Protocol (MCP). SMD no longer
supports the Trend Micro Management Infrastructure (TMI) protocol used by previous
versions of SMD and the Control Manager.
The Control Manager Agent can be registered after installing SMD. SMD supports Web
console redirection from the Control Manager. Access the SMD product console directly
from the Control Manager product console using a separate user name and password for
the SMD product console.
