ERAS is capable of merging multiple licenses from multiple customers. This feature must be activated by a special key. If
you need a special key, please specify it in your order, or contact your local ESET distributor.
8.7 Advanced settings
To access ERA Advanced settings, click

>
Server Options
>

Edit Advanced Settings
.
Advanced settings include the following:
Maximum disk space usage (percent)
When exceeded, some server features may not be available. When connecting to ERAS, ERAC displays a notification
if the limit is exceeded.
Communication protocol encoding
Defines the type of encoding. We recommend the default setting.
Enable MAC address renaming (from unknown to valid)
After reinstalling from an ESET client solution that does not support sending a MAC address (e.g., ESET NOD32
Antivirus 2.x) to a client solution that does (e.g., a 3.x client), the old client record will be converted to the new one.
We recommend the default setting (Yes).
Enable MAC address renaming (from valid to unknown)
After reinstalling from an ESET client solution that does support sending a MAC address (e.g., ESET NOD32 Antivirus
3.x) to a client solution that does not (e.g., a 2.x client), the old client record will be converted to the new one. We
recommend the default setting (No).
Enable MAC address renaming (from valid to another valid)
Enables renaming of valid MAC addresses. The default value does not allow for renaming, which means that the MAC
address is a part of the unique identification of clients. Disable this option if there are multiple entries for one PC. We
also recommend disabling this option if a client is identified as the same client after the MAC address has been
changed.
Enable computer name renaming
Allows for renaming of client computers. If disabled, the computer name will be a part of the unique identification of
clients.
Also use default server logon during push installation
ERAS allows the user to set the username and password for logon script and email remote installation only. Enable
this option to use the predefined values also for remote push installations.
8.8 Other settings
SMTP settings
Some features in ERA require correct SMTP server configuration. Those features include remote email installation and
generating reports to be sent by email.
New clients
Allow new clients
If disabled, no new clients will be added in the Clients tab – even if new clients communicate with ERA Servers, they will
not be visible in the Clients tab.
Automatically reset “New“ flag by new clients
If enabled, the New flag is removed from clients connecting to ERAS for the first time. For more information please see
chapter
Clients tab
.
Ports
Enables you to customize ports where ERAS is listening to communications, established by
Console
(by default 2223),
Client
(by default 2222), the replication process (
Replication port
– by default 2846),
ESET Remote Installer
(by default
2224).
ThreatSense.Net
If enabled, ERAS will forward suspicious files and statistical information from clients to ESET’s servers in specified
interval. Note that it is not always possible for client workstations to submit this information directly, due to the
network configuration.
