3.4.1.3 Updates
These options allow you to download new software for gateprotect Firewall, to install
system updates as well as updates for the Application Signatures, Certificates, Intru-
sion Prevention System (IPS), Malware Protection and Web Filter.
Navigate to "Firewall > Updates" to display the list of available module versions and
system updates and their status.
If the "
Activate" button in the toolbar at the top of the desktop is highlighted, no
update can be installed. First, save your current desktop configuration changes, then
install the updates.
The list of license modules (Application Signatures, Certificates, IPS, Anti-Malware,
and Web Filter) is reset during system updates, factory resets or when reverting to a
previous version. To avoid compatibility problems, license module updates should be
reinstalled after the reset.
Click "Check for Updates" to update the list of available modules with the latest ver-
sions.
A slider switch indicates whether the automatic download and/or installation options
are currently active ( "On" ) or inactive ( "Off" ). All options are disabled by default. By
clicking the slider switch, you can toggle the state of each individual option. When the
automatic download and/or installation options are deactivated, the links in the far right
column allow you to "Download" and "Install" updates manually.
Automatic download and installation will only begin after you click " Activate" in the
toolbar at the top of the desktop.
Before installing a system update, you may want to create a new backup checkpoint
and download it to your computer so you can restore this configuration later if neces-
sary. For more information, see "Local Backups" on page 34.
System updates require a restart. A "Reboot" button in the far right column prompts
you to reboot the system to complete the update process. Click the link to restart the
system and install the new system software. In this case, it is important to restart the
system via the button in the table to ensure that the new firmware is applied. (When
the system is restarted via "Firewall > System > System Actions > Reboot Firewall" or
by switching the device off and on, the software installation routine does not run, so the
system uses the same firmware version that was running before the restart.)
