Chapter 1: Accessing the Server

Preliminary Network Settings

To initially set up your ER Server, follow the instructions in

the ER Quick Start Guide booklet packaged with your ER

unit. This guide explains how to perform the initial configura-

tion of the Server so that it can be accessed via an IP

address on your network.

NOTE: If you do not have the ER Administrator Quick Start

Guide, contact 8e6 Technologies immediately to have a copy

sent to you.

WARNING: In order to prevent data from being lost or corrupted

while the Server is running, the Server should be connected to a

UPS or other battery backup system.

Procedures for Accessing the Server

WARNING: Once you turn on the Server, DO NOT interrupt the

initial boot-up process. This process may take from five to 10

minutes per drive. If the process is interrupted, damage to key

files may occur.

When the Server is fully booted, any workstation on the

network that can access the Server’s IP address (set up

during Quick Start procedures) will be able to communicate

with the Server via the Internet.

1. Launch Internet Explorer (IE).

2. In the address line of the IE browser window, type in the

Server’s IP address appended by the following port

number:

• “:88” for an HTTP address

• “:8843” for an HTTPS address
