The Global Administrator Section of this user guide is
comprised of four chapters, based on the layout of the
Administrator console. This section is used by the autho-
rized global administrator of the ProxyBlocker for config-
uring and maintaining the ProxyBlocker server.
The global administrator is responsible for integrating the
server into the existing network, and providing the server a

• Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer
(HTTPS) link to the current logging device
• power connection protected by an Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS)
• high speed access to the server by authorized client
workstations
• adds group administrators
• sets up administrators for receiving automatic alerts
• updates the server with software supplied by 8e6
• analyzes server statistics
• utilizes diagnostics for monitoring the server status to
ensure optimum functioning of the server
