Shutting Down Your Enterprise Scanner
Introduction
You can shut down Enterprise Scanner from the Proventia Manager. The shut down
option also turns off the appliance.
Note:
If you have an agent with an early BIOS, the shut down command may not turn off
the appliance.
When to use
Use this option if you need to turn off the appliance temporarily and plan to continue
using the agent with the same SiteProtector. If you want to shut down the agent so that
you can register it with a different SiteProtector, see “Removing an Agent from
SiteProtector” on page 202.
Agent status
In the SiteProtector Console, the agent continues to appear Online for a couple of hours. If
you do not restart the appliance within a couple of hours, the status of the agent becomes
Inactive. The agent goes through the normal statuses when you restart the appliance.
Procedure
To shut down your agent:
1. Log on to the Proventia Manager for your agent. (See page 200.)
2. Select System on the navigation pane, and then click Management
