Editing the Server configuration

With the Server configuration tab, the basic settings for the communication between the Update server and the clients are managed. By default, the UpdateService connects to the server providing the updates, downloads and distributes the updates and patches to the UpdateAgents. However, if manual distribution or a different server for downloads is preferred, the automatic setting can be changed.

  1. Select an option from the menu:
  2. Select Download full upgrade packages, to download all downloads and distribute also packages including version upgrades, if the appropriate permission (new license key for a next major version) is available. All UpdateAgents will be upgraded to the new version according to your group settings. (By default, the UpdateService downloads only patches including error corrections.)
  3. Specify the daytime when updates and patches will be downloaded and installed.
  4. Click Check for updates/patches now to manually check for available downloads. Currently active downloads are displayed.
  5. Click Restart UpdateServer to restart the UpdateServer with the applied settings.
  6. Click Save to apply the settings.
Configuring the FTP server
  1. After selecting the option Download and install updates/patches automatically from a defined remote location, enter the IP address and port number of the FTP server.
  2. Provide the user name and password for the FTP server.
  3. To establish a secure connection, activate Use FTP via SSL, if the server supports SFTP. (Contact the network administrator for the correct settings.)
