Specifying the Download Source

Depending on whether or not ServerProtect is being managed by Trend Micro Control Manager (TMCM), the download source differs, because only manual update is available when ServerProtect is not working in conjunction with Control Manager.

Update Behavior When ServerProtect Is Managed by Control Manager

When ServerProtect is being managed by Trend Micro Control Manager, updates come automatically, either through the normal Control Manager update policy or when an Outbreak Prevention Policy has been triggered. The default download source for Control Manager updates is:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/TVCSDownload/ActiveUpdate

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the Control Manager IP address.

Update Behavior When ServerProtect Is Managed in Some Other Way

When ServerProtect is not being managed by Control Manager, you can update components only via the Update Now (Manual Update) function. The default download source in that case is:

https://splx3-p.activeupdate.trendmicro.com/activeupdate

To customize the download source:
  1. Configure manual or scheduled update.

  2. On the working area, select one of the following download sources:

The update components have to be available on the primary update source (Web server). Provide the host name or IP address, and directory. Use this option when you select Connect Using HTTPS in the Control Manager Settings screen.
In addition, you can set up multiple backup update servers/sources to automatically fail over in case the primary update source fails.
