9.4.1. Configuring automatic updates via GUM

9.4.1.1. Introduction

Gatewatcher Update Manager (GUM) is a tool that enables managing updates to the GBox.

This screen enables configuring the automatic scheduling of updates.

These updates can be made:

Via Online mode

If necessary, configure a proxy (see the Configuring a proxy procedure)

Online mode enables automatic updates to be made from the Internet.

The URL field will be filled in automatically. The update packages can be obtained from the Gatewatcher servers https://update.GATEWATCHER.com/update/.

Via the Local mode

If necessary, configure a proxy (see the in Configuring a proxy procedure)

Local mode enables updates to be made from a local repository previously configured to download packages from Gatewatcher servers https://update.GATEWATCHER.com/update.

This local repository is defined in the `Admin- GUM - Config` screen of the legacy Web UI.

An intelligence account will be required for the update package to be downloaded from the site.

In `online` mode, this user and password pair must be entered in the `Username` and `Password` fields below the address.

This procedure describes how to configure automatic updates from:

Either a server on the local network (choose `local`)
Or a server on the Internet (choose `online`)

The graphical interface is described in the `Admin- GUM - Config` screen of the legacy Web UI.

Note

If necessary, configure a proxy (see the Configuring a proxy procedure).
