The IPS Manager should be registered with Trellix for receiving automatic updates regarding the signature set, callback detectors, and device software from Trellix in real time.
At a higher level, the Manager registration with Trellix is a two-step procedure as follows:
Register the IPS Manager with Trellix
Trellix recommends you to register the product immediately after installation when the Product Registration window appears after the initial login.
Upon skipping product registration, the following functionalities will be disabled:
On-demand and scheduled download of Signature Sets in the Manager

On-demand download of device software
Creating vIPS Components and vIPS Protected Groups
On registering the Manager with Trellix, some threat and device-specific data will be sent to Trellix telemetry servers at different intervals when Telemetry is enabled. If, at any point, you want to review the telemetry data you are sending to Trellix, run the required Default - Telemetry Next Generation report from the Analysis → <Admin Domain Name> → Even Reporting → Next Generation Reports page.
Note
Telemetry is enabled in the Manager by default. You can change the telemetry configurations from Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Setup → Telemetrypage. Refer to the Telemetry section in Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide for more information.
