Every computer with installed antivirus package according to its functions in the antivirus network is a separate workstation of the antivirus network. Workstations are protected by the Dr.Web antivirus packages designed for the corresponding operating systems.
|
Protected computer with an installed antivirus package in the is called a workstation of the antivirus network. Please note: according to its LAN functions, such A computer with an installed antivirus package can be both a workstation or a mobile device and a LAN server according to its functions. |
Antivirus packages are installed on protected stations and get connected to Dr.Web Server. Each station is included in one or several groups registered on this Dr.Web Server. Data between stations and the Dr.Web Server is transferred via a TCP/IP protocol version 4 or 6 used in a local network.
Installation
Administrators or users install antivirus packages for macOS directly on the station. You can find detailed description of the antivirus packages installation on workstations in the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Installation Manual.
Management
When connection with the Dr.Web Server is established, the administrator is able to use the following functions implemented by the antivirus package on a station:
•Centralized configuration of Dr.Web on workstations via the Control Center.
At this, administrator can either restrict or grant user's permissions to change settings on stations.
•Configure the schedule for the antivirus scans and other tasks to execute on a station.
•Get scan statistics and other information on antivirus components operation and on stations state.
•Start and stop antivirus scans and etc.
Update
Dr.Web Server downloads updates and distributes them to connected stations. It allows to automatically implement, maintain, and adjust protection regardless of workstation users’ computer skills.
In case an antivirus station is temporarily disconnected from the antivirus network, a local copy of settings is used on the station. Components of the antivirus protection keep operating (up to the expiry of the user’s license). At this, the software is not updated. If a station is allowed to operate in the Mobile mode, when connection with the Dr.Web Server is lost, virus databases are updated directly via GUS.

The principle of stations operation in the Mobile mode is described in the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite Administrator Manual. |
