Control Center and Scanner
During initial setup, you will be asked to choose the function that this appliance
will perform. Before setting up the appliance, decide which function or set of
functions you will choose from the list above.
The appliance works with the following browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0
Firefox 2.0
If you want to access the command line interface on an appliance, use an SSH
client to log into the appliance. Some SSH clients require special configuration
to log in to the appliance SSH server when using the SSH v2 protocol. If your SSH
client does not connect to your appliance, try configuring the client to use the
standard SSH server. If your client does not support that configuration option
and does not automatically detect it, configure the SSH client to use the SSH v1
protocol.
Deployed as a Control Center, a Symantec Mail Security host
allows you to configure and manage email filtering, SMTP
routing, system settings, and all other functions from a
Web-based interface. Multiple Scanners can be configured
and monitored from your enterprise-wide deployment of
Symantec Mail Security, but only one Control Center can
be deployed to administer all the Scanner hosts. The Control
Center provides information on the status of all Symantec
Mail Security hosts in your system, including system logs
and extensive customizable reports. Use the Control Center
to configure both system-wide and host-specific details. The
Control Center provides the Setup Wizard, for initial
configuration of all Symantec Mail Security instances at
your site, and also the Add Scanner Wizard, for adding new
Scanners. The Control Centrer also hosts the Spam and
Suspect Virus Quarantines to isolate and store spam and
virus messages, respectively.
Deployed as a Scanner, a Symantec Mail Security host filters
email for viruses, spam, and noncompliant messages.
Performs both functions. Suitable for smaller installations.
