the active firmware version by selecting the Activation radio button for the firmware that
is shown as active in the Type column.
2. Click Reboot. The UTM reboots. During the reboot process, the Firmware screen remains
visible. The reboot process is complete after several minutes when the Test LED on the front
panel goes off and the Firmware screen disappears.

Update the Scan Signatures and Scan Engine Firmware

To scan and detect viruses, spyware, and other malware threats, the UTM's scan engine
requires two components:
• A pattern file that contains the virus signature files and virus database
• Firmware that functions in conjunction with the pattern file
Because new virus threats can appear any hour of the day, it is very important to keep both
the pattern file and scan engine firmware current. The UTM can automatically check for
updates, as often as every 15 minutes, to ensure that your network protection is current.
To view the current versions and most recent updates of the pattern file and scan engine
firmware that your UTM is running, select Administration > System Update. The System
Update submenu tabs display, with the Signatures & Engine screen in view:
