When prompted to 

Enable TMCM?

, choose 

Yes

 if you are running Trend Micro Control 

Manager version 3.0 with Service Pack 5 and want to manage the IWSA server with it. 

Choose 

No

 if you are not using TMCM or have a different version.

To configure the TMCM connection, provide the IP address of the TMCM server and an 

account name IWSA can use to log on to the TMCM server.

To activate the IWSA module(s):

1.

 

 

From the main IWSA menu, click 

Administration > Product License

. The Product 

License screen appears.

2.

 

 

Click the 

Enter New Code

 link for InterScan Web Security Appliance and then, in the 

Enter A New Code screen that appears, type the Activation Code you received after registering.

3.

 

 

Click the 

Activate

 button. Scanning and/or content filtering automatically begins for 

each module you activated.

3.

 

 

Hardware configuration is now complete. To test the hardware setup and complete the IWSA 

configuration, relocate to a computer with access to the IWSA server and open a Web 

browser. Enter the URL for the IWSA console:

http://[IP Address]:1812

Notes:

 

  

If the management IP is bound to a specific VLAN, the IWSA console will only be connected with this 

specific VLAN tagged.

 

  

If IWSA and the client/server are on different network segments, or if there is a router/gateway 

(not the default gateway) between IWSA and the client/server, configure static route settings 

in the IWSA console. See the IWSA Solutions CD or online help for details.

Returning to the configuration menu... 

After the initial configuration, you can re-enter the menu at any time:
1.

 

 

Press     to open the menu, and then ▼.

2.

 

 

Choose

 prompt.  Press     to accept the changes. 

IWSA contains three modules, two of which are optional. To begin scanning after installation, 

each module must be individually activated.

 

InterScan Web Security Appliance (main program)

 

URL Filtering (optional, Web content control)

 

Malicious Mobile Code

 

(optional, protection against malicious JavaScript and ActiveX)

You must register IWSA to receive your Activation Code(s), which will be sent to the email 

address specified during registration. 

Upon activation, IWSA begins processing traffic using the following default settings:

 

Scans all HTTP and FTP uploads and downloads for viruses (does not scan HTTPS traffic)

 

Scans downloads/uploads of files not exceeding 2048MB (HTTP) and 1024MB (FTP)

 

Cleans infected files, deletes uncleanable ones (such as Trojans and worms), and skips 

password-protected or encrypted files

 

Encrypts quarantined files

 

Does not scan traffic for spyware/grayware

 

Blocks access to known phish sites

 

Checks Web traffic for malicious JavaScript and ActiveX code

 

Identifies users by IP address in logs and reports

If you have cabled IWSA in your network to work with an HTTP proxy or ICAP server, you need 

to configure the IWSA software to support that configuration before activating the product. Once 

activated, IWSA will automatically begin to scan Web traffic using a default set of robust settings.

To modify the IWSA proxy mode:

1.

 

 

From the IWSA menu, click 

HTTP > Configuration > Proxy Scan Settings

.

2.

 

 

Choose how you want IWSA to process traffic:

 

Network bridge

 — IWSA acts as a network bridge, scanning all HTTP and FTP traffic routed through it.

 

HTPP proxy

 — IWSA works with an upstream or downstream proxy server.

 

ICAP Server

 — IWSA scans all Web traffic to and from the LAN as it is proxied by an ICAP 

server (which then acts as a client) already on the network.

3.

 

 

The remaining options on the Proxy Scan Settings page are explained in the online help. 

From any IWSA console screen, click the help icon     in the upper right corner for information 

on how (and why) to configure the rest of the settings on the page.

Item Code: IHEQ02872/60928

You can configure network settings using HyperTerminal or the LCD panel and navigation keys 

on the front of the device.

To configure network settings using HyperTerminal:

1.

 

 

Check that the computer you are using for preconfiguration has HyperTerminal.

2.

 

 

Connect one end of the included console cable to the CONSOLE port on the back panel of the 

device and the other end to the serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) on a computer.

3.

 

 

Click 

Start

 > 

Programs

 > 

Accessories

 > 

Communications

 > 

HyperTerminal

.

4.

 

 

Specify a name for the connection. In the next screen, specify the communications port where 

the cable is connected.

5.

 

 

To prepare HyperTerminal for optimal use, set the following properties: 
Bits per second: 115200
Data Bits: 8 
Parity: None 
Stop bits: 1 
Flow control: None 
Emulation: VT100 (You can set this value by selecting 

File > Properties | Settings

 tab.)

should be bound to the specific VLAN. Specify the VLAN ID to which the Management 

IP address will bind. Consult the Administrator’s Guide for a discussion of the different 

scenarios when deploying IWSA to a VLAN environment.

11.

When powered on, IWSA begins proxying Web traffic as soon as the cables are connected. 

Scanning will not begin, however, until you activate the IWSA software as explained in task 11.

To connect the IWSA server to your network:

1.

 

 

Connect an Ethernet cable to the internal IWSA port (port 1) and to the device from which IWSA will 

receive Web traffic (such as a firewall).

2.

 

 

If you are setting up IWSA in bridge mode, use a second Ethernet cable to connect the device to which 

IWSA will deliver scanned Web traffic (such as a proxy server) to the external IWSA port (port 2).

Connect IWSA  to your network
