SiteProtector and appliance updates

If you manage your appliance with SiteProtector, you can install an update while the appliance is registered with the SiteProtector Agent Manager.

Use the X-Press Update Server under the following conditions: For more information about how to configure the X-Press Update Server, see the SiteProtector documentation or online help.

Note: You can download and install firmware updates in the IPS Local Management Interface even if the appliance is registered with SiteProtector.
Use the Update Settings page from the IPS Local Management Interface to schedule the following automatic update options:
