After verifying that the Web Filter portion of the IR is correctly installed on your
network, you need to activate Web Filter library updates. Library updates are crit-
ical for filtering as new sites are added to the M86 Security library each day. To
activate updates, visit the M86 Security Web site and enter the activation code that
was issued to you by e-mail (also included on the product invoice).
NOTE: Port 443 (HTTPS) must be open for outgoing requests so that the Web Filter can
receive library updates.
Be sure you have a valid host name chosen before activating your account.
A. Open an Internet browser window and go to http://www.m86security.com/
support/activate-appliance.asp.
B. After reading through the online End User License Agreement, click Accept to
go to Step 2 of the activation process.
C. Enter your activation code.
D. Click Submit to go to the Web Filter Activation and Registration page.
E. Verify that your serial number and activation code are the same as shown on
this registration page.
F. Fill out the information on this page, including the host name for the public DNS
server. The entry of the unique host name you've chosen is mandatory in
order to receive library updates.
G. After all information is entered, click Activate to activate your service. You
should receive confirmation that the Web Filter at your host name has been acti-
vated.
You may wish to print the confirmation page for future reference in dealing with
technical issues.
Your IR was shipped with the latest library update for the current software release.

the IR you must perform a complete library update to ensure you have the latest
library updates.
To download the latest library updates, go to the Web Filter Administrator console.
A. Click the Library link at the top of the screen.
B. From the navigation panel, click Updates and select Manual Update from the
