4.8 Remote administration

ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) is a powerful tool to manage
security policy and to obtain an overview of the overall security within
a network. It is especially useful when applied to larger networks. ERA
not only increases the security level, but also provides ease‑of‑use in
the administration of ESET NOD32 Antivirus on client workstations.
Remote administration setup options are available from the main
ESET NOD32 Antivirus program window. Click Setup > Enter
the entire advanced setup tree... > Miscellaneous > Remote
administration.
Activate remote administration by selecting the Connect to Remote
Administration server option. You can then access the other options
described below:
• Server address – Network address of the server where the ERA
Server is installed.
• Port – This field contains a predefined server port used for
connection. We recommend that you leave the default port
setting of 2222
• Interval between connections to server (min.) – This designates
the frequency that ESET NOD32 Antivirus will connect to the
ERA Server. If it is set to 0, information will be submitted every 5
seconds.
