If your computer (laptop) has no connection to the Enterprise Server(s) for a long time, to receive updates opportunely from the Dr.Web GUS, you are well advised to set the Agent in the mobile mode of operation. To do this, on the context menu of the Agent icon in the notification area of the Taskbar, select Mobile mode → Enabled. The icon will turn yellow.
In the mobile mode the Agent tries to connect to the Server three times and, if unsuccessful, performs an HTTP update. The Agent tries continuously to find the Server at interval of about a minute.
|
The option Mobile mode will be available on the context menu provided that the mobile mode of using the Dr.Web GUS has been allowed in the station permissions (for more, read p. Setting Users’ Permissions). |
|
When the Agent is functioning in the mobile mode, the Agent is not connected to Enterprise Server. All changes made for this workstation at the Server, will take effect once the Agent mobile mode is switched off and the connection with the Server is re-established. In the mobile mode only virus databases are updated. |
To adjust the settings of the mobile mode, select Mobile mode → Settings. In the Update period field set the frequency of checking the availability of updates on the GUS. If necessary, set the Only when connected to Internet flag.
When using a proxy server, set the Use proxy to transfer updates flag and below specify the address and the port of the proxy server, and the parameters of authorization.
In the mobile mode, to initiate updating immediately, select Mobile mode → Start update.
|
The Start update option is disabled, if connection to the Server is active. |
To switch off the mobile mode, on the context menu of the Agent icon, select Mobile mode and clear the Active flag. The color of the icon will change from yellow to green and the Agent will be reconnected to the Server.
