Now that the IR 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 a supported Internet browser on the network workstation, and enter the
IP address you assigned to LAN 1 (Network: LAN Settings, sub-step B). Be
sure to include the port information :1443 for a secure connection in the
address field. For example, if the IR was assigned an IP address of
10.10.10.10, you would enter https://10.10.10.10:1443 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 IR splash page, the IR is functioning on your network and you
should proceed to Step 3: Log in, Generate SSL Certificate, from the Install the
Server portion of this Installation Guide.
If you cannot access the IR splash page, 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 IR is turned on.
• The IR 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 IR?
• Is the IR plugged into a switch instead of a hub?
• Is there a caching server?
• Can the IR ping the filtered PC? (Refer to the System Command window in the
Diagnostics section of the IR Web Filter User Guide)
• Did you restart the IR after changing the network settings?
• Do you have both LAN ports connected to your network hub?
• If still unsuccessful, contact an M86 Security solutions engineer or technical
support representative.
D. Once you are able to access the IR splash page, proceed to Step 2: Log in Web
Filter, Generate SSL Certificate from the Install the Server portion of this Instal-
lation Guide.
