2Product Information

Avira Security Management Center (Avira SMC) is used for remote installation and management of Avira products via the network.
Product Information
Components
and Services
Avira SMC consists of three components:
z SMC Server, which runs on a central network server with three services:
–Server
–Event Manager
– Internet Update Manager
– and two integrated databases for storing Avira products and for events
management.
z The SMC Agent client service, which runs on the network computers and makes
the connection between the main application (SMC Server) and the Avira products on the computers.
z The SMC Frontend graphical user interface, which can run on the
administrator's computer and manages the services and components of Avira SMC.
Avira GmbH Avira Security Management Center 7
Product Information

2.1 Functions

The main application, SMC Server, comprises three services with different tasks that communicate with each other through an SSL encrypted TCP/IP connection.
The Server service manages information on:
• the computers integrated into the Security Environment of Avira SMC,
• the Avira products installed on the computers and
• the software packs supported by Avira SMC.
The installation of Avira products on the network computers through Avira SMC accesses an internal database containing the Avira products as stored software packs. An Avira product on a computer in the Security Environment inherits the configuration settings of its group, when installed from Avira SMC.
The Event Manager service records the events (for example virus alerts), saves them to a database and forwards them for display or reports in the SMC Frontend.
The Internet Update Manager service performs updates for the installed Avira products, for software packs in the Repository and for the Avira SMC components.
The SMC Agent, installed on the Security Environment computers, forwards the commands, tasks and configurations from the main application SMC Server to Avira products on the computers. The SMC Agent can send events and notifications about the Avira products to the SMC Server, to be displayed on the SMC Frontend.
The SMC Frontend is a snap-in for Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and it integrates the components, services and functions in a graphical user interface and displays the entire information.
In addition, the SMC Agents can distribute and run files between individual computers or groups of computers within the Security Environment (providing start parameters and commands if necessary), such as special virus definitions, special virus removers, license files etc.

Product Information

2.3 Licensing

The licensing process consists of two steps: acquiring the license and activating it after you install Avira SMC. Usually you receive an SMC license file by email when you buy Avira products and purchase Avira SMC.
When installing SMC Agents on network computers, the license is checked: for example, if you have a license for 500 Clients, you can add up to 500 computers in the Security Environment.
You will perform the licensing after installing Avira SMC (see Licensing Avira SMC – Page 17).
Evaluation
Mode
If the product is not licensed, a warning appears every time you start SMC Frontend, reminding you that Avira SMC runs for 30 days in evaluation mode. You can add a maximum of 100 computers in the Security Environment in evaluation mode.

3 Installation

3.1 Important Information on Installation

Before installation
Usually you will install Avira SMC with the services on a central Windows network server and the SMC Frontend user interface on a computer in the network on which you can manage the Avira SMC as administrator. You can also install both components on the same computer.
As the services and program components of Avira SMC require the IP addresses of the computers and certain open ports for communication, this data is read out during installation and displayed in a dialog window.
Installation
If you install the SMC Frontend on a computer outside the network, you must ensure that the ports 7000 and 7001 are open in the firewall for communication with the SMC Server.
If you use dynamic IP addresses in the network (DHCP), we recommend that you enter the host name of the server instead of the actual IP addresses.
Installation Steps
You will perform the following installation steps:
1. SMC Server installation;
2. SMC Frontend installation.
After carrying out these steps, you will configure the SMC, add computers into the Security Environment, install and manage SMC Agents and Avira products over the network, as described in the following Chapters.
