ViPNet Manager allows you to send ViPNet Client and ViPNet Coordinator updates to ViPNet network nodes.

By default, all the network nodes are selected to receive software updates.
Remove the ticks from the nodes you do not want to receive software updates. Note: The Clear all button deselects every node and Select all selects them.
If you can't select a node(s), that means the key set for the ViPNet Manager workstation has not been updated. To solve this problem, click Cancel, create a new key set for the ViPNet Manager workstation and send the key set update.
To filter out unwanted nodes, type some of the characters that appear in the desired nodes in the Find text box. Note: The characters can be numeric, giving you have the option of searching by the date the node was created or changed. If you use the filter to display a particular client, the coordinator associated with a client will display as well. To clear your filter and return to the full network node list, click .
Click Next to continue. The Effective time window appears:
If required, specify another date and time for when the sent ViPNet software update will become effective.
If you want users to view a message telling them they need to manually restart their computers before the software update is effective, leave the Automatically restart computers after software update check box blank.
If you want computers to automatically restart after the ViPNet software update, tick the Automatically restart computers after software update check box. This check box must be selected if you are sending software updates to coordinator computers where there are no operators or access to them is difficult.
Click Next. MFTP launches and the sending process starts. ViPNet Client will be sent to client workstations and ViPNet Coordinator to coordinator computers. If unsuccessful, an error message appears. If successful, a confirmation message appears.
