• Entity—An entity is a representation of a managed product on the Product
Directory link. Each entity has an icon in the directory tree. The directory tree on
the Control Manager console displays all managed entities, and IMSVA can be one
of the entities.
When you install an IMSVA scanner, the Control Manager/MCP agent is also
installed automatically. After the agent is enabled, each scanner will register to the
Control Manager server and appear as separate entities.
Note: Use Control Manager server version 5.5 or later when using Control Manager to
manage IMSVA. For more information on the latest version and the most recent
patches and updates, see the Trend Micro Update Center:
