Step 2: Test the R3000 Console Connection

Now that the R3000IR is physically installed on your network and you have configured its network settings, you need to test the unit to see if it is set up properly.

A.Restore the setup workstation you used for the Network Setup to its original settings, and connect it to the network hub to create a “network workstation.” (You could also use another workstation already on the network that has Internet access.)

B.Launch IE on the network workstation, and enter the IP address you assigned to LAN 1 (Step 1A, Quick Start menu: administration menu, or Step 1B, Network: LAN Settings, sub-step B). Be sure to include the port information :88 in the address field. For example, if the R3000 were assigned an IP address of 10.10.10.10, you would enter http://10.10.10.10:88 in the browser window’s address field.

C.Click Go. You should be prompted to log into the Administrator console, giving the Username and Password.

If you can access the R3000 Administrator console, the R3000 is functioning on your network and you should proceed to Step 3.

If you cannot access the R3000 Administrator console, please verify the status of the LAN connection in Windows on the network workstation, and then try enabling/disabling the LAN connection. If that fails to work, check the following:

The R3000IR is turned on.

The R3000IR is connected to the same hub as your router/firewall.

Can the PC normally connect to the Internet?

Is the PC able to ping LAN 1 of the R3000?

Is the R3000 plugged into a switch instead of a hub?

Is there a caching server?

Can the R3000 ping the filtered PC? (Refer to the System Command window in the

Diagnostics section of the R3000 User Guide)

Did you restart the R3000 after changing the network settings?

Do you have both LAN ports connected to your network hub?

If still unsuccessful, contact an 8e6 Technologies solutions engineer or technical sup- port representative.
