Update Signature Manually
The Manual Signature Update feature is intended for networks where reliable, broadband
Internet connectivity is either not possible or not desirable (for security reasons). The Manual
Signature Update feature provides a method to update the latest signatures at the network
administrator’s discretion. The network administrator first downloads the signatures from http:/
/www.mysonicwall.com to a separate computer, a USB drive, or other media. Then the network
administrator uploads the signatures to the SonicWALL security appliance. The same signature
update file can be used to all SonicWALL security appliances that meet the following
requirements:
• Devices that are registered to the same mysonicwall.com account
• Devices that belong to the same class of SonicWALL security appliances.
To manually update signature files, complete the following steps:
Step 1 On the Security Services > Summary page, scroll to the Update Signatures Manually
heading at the bottom of the page. Note the Signature File ID for the device.
Step 2 Log on to http://www.mysonicwall.com using the mysonicwall.com account that was used to
register the SonicWALL security appliance.
Note The signature file can only be used on SonicWALL security appliances that are registered
to the mysonicwall.com account that downloaded the signature file.
Step 3 Click on Download Signatures under the Downloads heading.
Step 4 In the pull down window next to Signature ID:, select the appropriate SFID for your SonicWALL
security appliance.
Step 5 Download the signature update file by clicking on Click here to download the Signature file.
