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
