To begin setting up your Web Filter server, follow the
instructions in the M86 Web Filter Installation Guide, the
booklet packaged with your Web Filter unit. This guide
explains how to perform the initial configuration of the server
so that it can be accessed via an IP address or host name
on your network, and the SSL certificate for the Web Filter
generated to ensure a secure network connection.
NOTE: If you do not have the M86 Web Filter Installation Guide,
contact M86 Security immediately to have a copy sent to you.

Log On

1. Launch an Internet browser window supported by the
Web Filter.
2. In the address line of the browser window, type in
"https://" and the Web Filter server's IP address or host
name, and use port number ":1443" for a secure network
connection, plus "/login.jsp".
For example, if your IP address is 210.10.131.34, type in
https://210.10.131.34:1443/login.jsp. Using a host
name example, if the host name is logo.com, type in
https://logo.com:1443/login.jsp.
With a secure connection, the first time you attempt to
access the Web Filter's user interface in your browser
you will be prompted to accept the security certificate. In
order to accept the security certificate, follow the instruc-
tions at: http://www.m86security.com/software/8e6/
