Station Settings

To view and edit the properties of a workstation

1.Select the Network item in the main menu, then select the station in the hierarchical list and click the General → Edit element of the Toolbar.

2.A panel with properties of the station will be opened in the right part of the Dr.Web Control Center. This panel contains the following settings: General, Configuration, Groups, Location. These settings are described below.

3.To save changes in the settings, click Save.

General

In the General section, the read-only fields are listed:

◆ID - station unique identifier;

◆Name - station name.

Also you can specify the following fields:

◆In the Password field, specify a password to authorize the station at the Server (retype this password in the Retype password field). If you change the password, you must repeat this action in the Agent connection settings at the station to permit Agent connection.

◆in the Description field, add comments.

Configuration

In the Configuration section, the following stations parameters are presented:

◆ - setting permissions for the workstation (see p. Setting Users Permissions).

◆ - changing schedule settings. Centralized schedule setting described in p. Editing Scheduled Tasks on a Station.

◆ - setting the licence key file for the station.

◆ - setting restrictions for anti-virus software updating. For more details about update restrictions, see p. Update Restrictions for Workstations.

◆ - installing components list (see p. Anti-Virus Package Composition).

◆the settings of the anti-virus components - Dr.Web Scanner for Windows, SpIDer Guard for Windows, SpIDer Mail for Windows Workstations, etc. Click the button against the correspond item to change its settings.

Dr.Web Control Center also provides you with option for deleting personal settings of a workstation. These settings are located in the left part of the corresponding options for components configuration options.

When you delete personal settings of a workstation, it inherits settings from the primary group.

Meanwhile the Dr.Web Control Center interface is somewhat different from the interface of the anti-virus components:

◆to change the parameters whose values can be either Yes or No, click the appropriate value. Entry fields and drop-down lists are standard,

◆to manage separate parameters, use the options located on the right from corresponding settings:

to restore the value a parameter had before editing.

to set the default value for a parameter.

◆to manage set of parameters, use the options located in the toolbar (the upper part of most settings windows, e.g. Schedule, Permissions, Dr.Web Scanner for Windows, SpIDer Guard for Windows and SpIDer Mail for Windows Workstations),

- to propagate this parameters on other objects (group or several groups and workstations).

- to restore the values all parameters had before editing.

- to restore the default values of all parameters.

- to export parameters to a file of a special format.

- to import parameters from such file.

- to delete the specific configuration of the given workstation (the configuration inherited from the preinstalled groups will be restored, see p. Using Groups to Configure Stations).

◆Click OK to confirm the changes made, or click Cancel to restore the state of the configuration before editing.

Groups

In the Groups section, you can set the list of groups into which the workstation is included (see Adding a Station to a Group. Removing a Station from a Group)

Also in this section you can change the primary group for the station (see Inheriting Stations Configuration from Groups. Primary Groups).

Security

In the Security section, restrictions for network addresses from which Agents, network installers and other (“neighboring”) Enterprise Servers will be able to access the given Server are set.

By default all connections are allowed (the Use this ACL flag is cleared). To make the list of allowed or denied addresses, set the flag.

To allow any TCP address, include it into the TCP:Allow or TCPv6:Allow list.

To deny any TCP address, include it into the TCP:Deny or TCPv6:Deny list.

To edit an addresses at the list:

1.Specify an address in the corresponding field and click Save.

2.To add a new field click the button in the corresponding section.

3.To delete a field click .

Network address specifies in format: <IP-address>/[<prefix>].

Prefix it is a byte number, which denotes the range of IP addresses in a certain IP network/subnetwork.

Examples:

1.Prefix 24 stands for a network with a network mask: 255.255.255.0

Containing 254 addresses.

Host addresses look like: 195.136.12.*

2.Prefix 8 stands for a network with a network mask: 255.0.0.0

Containing up to 16387064 addresses (256*256*256).

Host addresses look like: 125.*.*.*

Besides, you can delete addresses from the list and edit the addresses included into the list.

Restrictions for IPX addresses can be set similarly.

The addresses not included into any of the lists are allowed or denied depending on whether the Deny priority flag is set. If the flag is set, the addresses not included into any of the lists (or included into both of them) are denied; otherwise, such addresses are allowed.

Location

In the Location section, you can set information on geographical location of the workstation.

2.To remove settings, clear the flags and click Save. Settings of the workstation inherited from the primary group will be restored.
