R3000 Enterprise Filter

8e6 Technologies' R3000 Enterprise Filter offers an
enhanced solution for Internet filtering on a network, based
on the methodologies employed by the company's R3000
Enterprise Filter, R2000 Enterprise Edition, and R2000
Authentication Module products. As with these applications,
the R3000 tracks each user's online activity, and can be
configured to block specific Web sites or service ports,
thereby protecting your organization against lost produc-
tivity, network bandwidth issues, and possible legal prob-
lems that can result from the misuse of Internet resources.
In addition to many of the basic features of the R2000 series
products, the R3000 provides expanded library categories,
instant message and peer-to-peer blocking, user authenti-
cation, and a newly-designed Graphical User Interface
(GUI) Administrator console with more intuitive screens and
fields for greater ease of use when configuring and main-
taining the server, as well as managing user and group
filtering profiles.

About this User Guide

The R3000 Enterprise Filter User Guide primarily addresses
the network administrator designated to configure and
manage the R3000 server on the network. This adminis-
trator is referred to as the "global administrator" throughout
this manual. In part, this manual also addresses administra-
tors who manage user groups on the network. These
administrators are referred to as "group administrators"
throughout this manual. Additional information is provided
for administrators of 8e6's Enterprise Reporter (ER) for
reporting on users' Internet activity.
