Chapter 9 Signature Update
9.3 The IDP/AppPatrol Update Screen
Click Licensing > Update > IDP/AppPatrol to display the following screen.
The ZyWALL comes with signatures for the IDP and application patrol features. These signatures are continually updated as new attack types evolve. New signatures can be downloaded to the ZyWALL periodically if you have subscribed for the IDP/AppPatrol signatures service.
You need to create an account at myZyXEL.com, register your ZyWALL and then subscribe for IDP service in order to be able to download new packet inspection signatures from myZyXEL.com (see the Registration screens). Use the Update IDP /AppPatrol screen to schedule or immediately download IDP signatures.
