Choosing an Update Source

By default, InterScan™ Messaging Security Appliance (IMSA) downloads components from the Trend Micro ActiveUpdate server, which is the only source for up-to-date components. However, if you are using Trend Micro Control Manager to manage IMSA, you can update the components from the Control Manager server. See your Control Manager documentation for details on how a Control Manager server can act as an update source.

To choose an update source:

  1. Choose Administration > Updates > Components from the menu. The Schedule tab displays by default.

  2. Click the Source tab.

  3. Under Source, select one of the following:

  1. If connection to Active Update and Product Registration Server must pass through a proxy server to get to the Internet, configure the following:

  2. Use a proxy server for pattern file, engine, and license updates—Select the check box if you are using a proxy server and configure the following:

  3. Proxy type—Select HTTP, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5.

  4. Proxy server—Type the host name or IP address of the proxy server.

  5. Port—Type the port the proxy server uses to communicate.

  6. User name—Type the username you need for administrative access to the proxy server.

  7. Password—Type the corresponding password.

  1. Click Save.

If you are using the Configuration Wizard, click Next.
