5.6.3 Configuring the Avira Internet Update Manager
Avira Internet Update Manager (Avira IUM) is integrated in the SMC Frontend and
it manages the updates for Avira software packages and installed products. In the
automatic update mode
(activated by default, see
Updating Avira Products
–
Page 94) it is no longer necessary to create update tasks in the scheduler, nor to
configure any update servers, because the updates are automatically triggered by
and downloaded from the integrated Internet Update Manager (IUM). The
automatic update mode also provides the fastest possible deployment of available
updates to all client computers.
The client computers in your network will no longer need to download the updates
from the Internet themselves, but instead they can update the products via your
Intranet, reducing your Internet traffic.
The Internet Update Manager service runs on one or more servers in your network
and manages the download of the product updates on these servers. With the SMC
Frontend you can configure and operate the Internet Update Manager service
remotely.
When you install Avira SMC Server, one Avira IUM service is installed by default
on the same server. You can later add new servers to the IUM node (as described
under
Adding update servers in Avira IUM
– Page 33).
To set the configuration of each IUM server in your Security Environment, expand
the node
Avira Internet Update Manager
, then expand the
server node
and use the
configuration options under
Server Settings
and
Frontend Settings
.
