Description
Registers the agent with the SiteProtector system to enable the
agent to scan.
How to handle policy updates:
• Select the check box if you want the agent to use the
configuration settings you define in Proventia Manager until
you change those settings for the agent group in the
SiteProtector system.
Tip: This setting prevents the agent from starting to function
before you have entirely defined its behavior. You should use
this option.
• Clear the check box if you want the agent to inherit currently
defined settings from the agent group in the SiteProtector
system.
Tip: You should not use this option.

times it contacts the SiteProtector system for changed policies
and updates to firmware and assessment content.
Range: 60 to 86,400 seconds (1 minute to 2 days). You should
use the default of 3600.
