Chapter 1: Accessing the Server
Preliminary Network Settings
To initially set up your ER Server, follow the instructions in
the R3000IR Quick Start Guide booklet packaged with your
R3000IR unit. This guide explains how to perform the initial
configuration of the Server so that it can be accessed via an
IP address on your network.
NOTE: If you do not have the R3000IR 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
For example, if your IP address is 1.2.3.4, type in http://
1.2.3.4:88 or https://1.2.3.4:8843.
