Chapter 5 Registration

When using the trial, you can switch from one engine to the other in the Registration screen. There is no limit on the number of times you can change the anti-virus engine selection during the trial, but you only get a total of one anti-virus trial period (not a separate trial period for each anti-virus engine). After the service is activated, the NXC can download the up-to-date signature files from the update server.

After the trial expires, you need to purchase an iCard for the anti-virus engine you want to use and enter the PIN number (license key) in the Registration > Service screen. You must use the ZyXEL anti-virus iCard for the ZyXEL anti-virus engine and the Kaspersky anti-virus iCard for the Kaspersky anti-virus engine. If you were already using an iCard anti-virus subscription, any remaining time on your earlier subscription is automatically added to the new subscription. Even if the earlier iCard anti-virus subscription was for a different anti-virus engine. For example, suppose you purchase a one-year Kaspersky engine anti-virus service subscription and use it for six months. Then you purchase a one- year ZyXEL engine anti-virus service subscription and enter the iCard’s PIN number (license key) in the Registration > Service screen. The one-year ZyXEL engine anti-virus service subscription is automatically extended to 18 months.

•The IDP and application patrol features use the IDP/AppPatrol signature files on the NXC. IDP detects malicious or suspicious packets and responds immediately. Application patrol conveniently manages the use of various applications on the network. After the service is activated, the NXC can download the up-to-date signature files from the update server.

•You will get automatic e-mail notification of new signature releases from mySecurityZone after you activate the IDP/AppPatrol service. You can also check for new signatures at http://mysecurity.zyxel.com.

See the respective chapters for more information about these features.

5.1.2 Maximum Number of Managed APs

The NXC2500 is initially configured to support up to 8 managed APs (such as the NWA5123- NI). You can increase this by subscribing to additional licenses. As of this writing, each license upgrade allows an additional 8 managed APs while the maximum number of APs a single NXC2500 can support is 24.

The NXC5200 is initially configured to support up to 48 managed APs (such as the NWA5160N). You can increase this by subscribing to additional licenses. As of this writing, each license upgrade allows an additional 48 managed APs while the maximum number of APs a single NXC5200 can support is 240.

To update the signature file or use a subscription service, you have to register the NXC and activate the corresponding service at myZyXEL.com (through the NXC).
