Step 2 If network devices, such as routers, switches, or firewalls, are between the sensor and the workstation,
make sure these devices are configured to allow the workstation to access the sensor web server port. All
remote management communication is performed by the sensor web server.
For More Information
• For the procedure for enabling and disabling Telnet on the sensor, see Enabling and Disabling
Telnet, page 4-5.
• For the procedure for configuring the web server, see Changing Web Server Settings, page 4-14.
Signatures Not Producing Alerts
Caution You cannot add other actions each time you configure the event actions. You are actually replacing the
list of event actions every time you configure it, so make sure you choose Produce Alert every time you
configure event actions.
If you are not seeing any alerts when signatures are firing, make sure that you have configured Produce
Alert as an event action. For example, if you choose Produce Alert, but later add another event action
and do not add Produce Alert to the new configuration, alerts are not sent to the Event Store. To make
sure you are getting alerts, check the statistics for the virtual sensor and the Event Store.
For More Information
• For more information about event actions, see Event Actions, page 7-5.
• For the procedure for configuring event actions, see Assigning Actions to Signatures, page 8-15.
• For the procedure for obtaining statistics about the virtual sensor and Event Store, see Displaying
Statistics, page 17-31.
