Updating the Device Image Using the AFFU
Use the Trend Micro Appliance Firmware Flash Utility (AFFU) to update the pro-
gram file (device image) and restore the default configuration. You can also use the
AFFU to update the firmware and keep current configuration, but doing so is much
more complicated than doing it through the Web console. The only reason to use the
more complex method would be to ensure that you have the ability to restore the pre-
vious configuration through the Preconfiguration console.
Tip: Trend Micro recommends updating the program file through the Web console
unless you have a compelling need to maintain the "restore previous
configuration" feature.
Preparing InterScan Gateway Security Appliance for the
Device Image Update
Before updating the InterScan Gateway Security Appliance device image, ensure that
you are familiar with some basic information about your device, as explained below.
The Preconfiguration Console
The Preconfiguration console is a terminal communications program that enables
you to configure or view basic (that is, “preconfiguration” settings). These settings
include:
• Device Information & Status
• Device IP Settings
• Interface Settings
• System Tools
• Advanced Settings
• SSH Access Control
• Change Password
• Log off with saving
• Log off without saving
