Central/Remote Console

eTrust Intrusion Detection Central enables network administrators to monitor and control one or more stations running eTrust Intrusion Detection. This is achieved by installing eTrust Intrusion Detection Agents or Engines on different segments of the network (local and remote), which are controlled by a central station from which the administrator can view and generate reports based on the consolidated information collected by the Agents or Engines.

The eTrust Intrusion Detection Central software functions as the basis for several services:

It allows a single user to monitor and manage multiple local and remote eTrust Intrusion Detection stations. Using this capability, the administrator sees alerts on the console and has the ability to remotely control specific eTrust Intrusion Detection stations as if they were local. Allows management of a remote eTrust Intrusion Detection station. Allows a remote authorized user to review the specific information they are authorized to see.

The eTrust Intrusion Detection Central includes the following components:

The Central Solution Clients: The eTrust Intrusion Detection Central component that operates on Windows 98/Me, or Windows NT/2000. The Central component receives, sorts, and displays alerts generated by one or more remote eTrust Intrusion Detection agents, and allows the administrator to connect with and operate the eTrust Intrusion Detection Engine.

The Central Solution Agent: eTrust Intrusion Detection Central Agents are components that operate on stations running eTrust Intrusion Detection Standalone. The eTrust Intrusion Detection Central Agent includes an agent application that operates in the background, receives alerts from eTrust Intrusion Detection, sends these alerts to eTrust Intrusion Detection Central after the authentication handshake.
