Micro's default settings is satisfactory for most situations, however consider the
following points when you customize the heartbeat setting:
Registering InterScan Gateway Security
Appliance M-Series to Control Manager
The InterScan Gateway Security Appliance is a standalone product and you do not
need to register the device to Control Manager. However, by registering to Control
Manager you gain the benefits explained earlier in this appendix. All features are
managed using the InterScan Gateway Security Appliance Preconfiguration console
and Web console. Before registering InterScan Gateway Security Appliance to a
Control Manager 3.5 server, you must ensure that both the device and the Control
Manager server belong to the same network segment.
To register an InterScan Gateway Security Appliance to Control Manager:
1. Log on to the Preconfiguration console.
2.
On the Main Menu of the Preconfiguration console, type 2 to select Device
Settings and press Enter . The Device Settings Screen displays.
Note: Control Manager uses the name specified in the Host name field to identify
InterScan Gateway Security Appliances
. The Host name appears in the Product
Directory of Control Manager.
3.
Use the down arrow to bring the cursor down to Register to Control Manager ,
and then use the spacebar to change the option to [yes] .

ECOMMENDATION
Long-interval Heartbeats (above
60 minutes)
The longer the interval between heartbeats, the greater
the number of events that may occur before Control
Manager reflects the communicator status on the Con-
trol Manager management console.
For example, if a connection problem with a Communi-
cator is resolved between heartbeats, it then becomes
possible to communicate with a Communicator even if
the status appears as (inactive) or (abnormal).
Short-interval Heartbeats (below
60 minutes)
Short intervals between heartbeats present a more
up-to-date picture of your network status at the Control
Manager server. However, this is a bandwidth-inten-
sive option.
