Managing Information Servers
The Information Server stores and delivers data to and from the Normal Servers.
If the Information Server manages NetWare Normal Servers, it also delivers alert
notifications. Windows Server 2003/2000/NT Normal Servers, however, perform
their own delivery.
Because an Information Server is simply a delivery system for information, the
number of servers it can manage is, theoretically, only limited by the available
bandwidth.
Tip: For large networks such as WANs, Trend Micro recommends you install an
Information Server in each network segment. This will reduce the impact on traffic.
Selecting Information Servers
Management Consoles can switch between Information Servers. However, only one
Management Console can log on to an Information Server at any time. If you cannot
log on to an Information Server, verify if another Management Console is connected
to it.
To select an Information Server:
1. Click Information Server > Select Information Server on the main menu. The
Select Information Server window appears.
2. Do one of the following:
• Type the name or IP address of the Information Server
• Select the Information Server from the list
Click Refresh if you need to refresh the view of servers in the list.
