Carrier web-based manager settings

MMS Content Check- sum

In each column, select to notify when the content within an MMS mes- sage is scanned and banned because of the checksum value that was matched.

Virus Scan                        In each column, select to notify when the content within an MMS mes- sage is scanned for viruses.

MMS Notification

Notifications Per Second Limit     For each MMS protocol, enter the number of notifications to send per second. If you enter zero(0), the notification rate is not limited.

Day of Week                                    For each MMS protocol, select the days of the week the unit is allowed to send notifications.

 

Window Start Time

For each MMS protocol, select the time of day to begin the message alert window. By default, the message window starts at 00:00. You can change this if you want to start the message window later in the day. When configured, notification outside this window will not be sent.

 

Window Duration                            For each MMS protocol, select the time of day at which to end the mes- sage alert window. By default, the message window ends at 00:24. You can change this if you want to end the message window earlier in the day.

When configured, notification outside this window will not be sent

 

DLP Archive options

Select DLP archive options to archive MM1, MM3, MM4, and MM7 sessions. In addition to the MMS profile’s DLP archive options, you can:

  • Archive MM1 and MM7 message floods
  • Archive MM1 and MM7 duplicate messages
  • Select DLP archiving for carrier endpoint patterns in a Carrier Endpoint List and select the Carrier Endpoint

Block option in the MMS Scanning section of an MMS Profile

The unit only allows one sixteenth of its memory for transferring content archive files. For example, for units with 128MB RAM, only 8MB of memory is used when transferring content archive files. Best practices dictate to not enable full content archiving if antivirus scanning is also configured because of these memory constraints.

 

DLP Archive

Display DLP meta-inform- ation on the system dash- board

Select each required protocol to display the content archive summary in the Log and Archive Statistics dashboard widget on the System Dashboard.

 

DLP Archive

Select the type of archiving that you want for the protocol (MM1, MM3, MM4, and MM7). You can choose from Full, Summary or None.

None — Do not send content archives.

 

Archive to FortiAna- lyzer/FortiGuard

Summary — Send content archive metadata only. Includes information such as date and time, source and destination, request and response size, and scan result.

Full — Send content archive both metadata and copies of files or mes- sages.

In some cases, FortiOS Carrier may not archive content, or may make only a partial content archive, regardless of your selected option. This behavior varies by prerequisites for each protocol.

This option is available only if a FortiAnalyzer unit or FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service is configured.
