Submission

In this section, you can choose whether files and statistical
information will be submitted by means of ESET Remote
Administrator or directly to ESET. If you want to be sure that
suspicious files and statistical information are delivered to ESET,
select the option By means of Remote Administrator or directly
to ESET. If this option is selected, files and statistics are submitted
by all available means. Submission of suspicious files by means of
Remote Administrator submits files and statistics to the remote
administration server, which will ensure their subsequent submission
to ESET's virus labs. If the option Directly to ESET is selected, all
suspicious files and statistical information are sent to ESET's virus lab
directly from the program.
Where there are files pending submission, the Submit now button
is activated in this setup window. Click this button if you wish to
immediately submit files and statistical information.
Select the Enable logging check box to enable recording of file
and statistical information submission. After each submission of
a suspicious file or a piece of statistical information, an entry in the
event log is created.

4.10 Remote administration

Remote administration is a powerful tool for maintaining security
policy and for obtaining an overview of the overall security
management within the network. It is especially useful when applied
to larger networks. Remote Administration not only increases the
security level, but also provides ease‑of‑use in the administration of
ESET Smart Security on client workstations.
The Remote administration setup options are available from the main
ESET Smart Security program window. Click Setup > Enter the entire
advanced setup tree... > Miscellaneous > Remote administration.
The Setup window allows you to activate the remote administration
mode by first selecting the Connect to Remote Administration
server check. You can then access the other options described below:
▪ Server address – Network address of the server where the remote
administration server is installed.
▪ Port – This field contains a predefined server port used for
connection. We recommend that you leave the predefined port
setting of 2222.
▪ Interval between connections to server (min.) – This designates
the frequency with which ESET Smart Security will connect to the
ERA server to send out the data. In other words, information is
sent at the time intervals defined here. If it is set to 0, information
will be submitted every 5 seconds.
▪ Remote Administrator requires authentication – Allows you
to enter a password for connecting to the remote administration
server, if required.
Click OK to confirm changes and apply the settings. ESET Smart
Security will use these settings to connect to the remote server.
