Step 2: Test The R3000 Console Connection - 8e6 Technologies R3000 Quick Start Manual

Step 2: Test the R3000 Console Connection

Now that the R3000 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—for example, ie or Firefox—on the network
workstation, and enter the iP address you assigned to LAn 1 (Step 1A, Quick Start
menu: administration menu, or Step 1B, network: LAn Settings, sub-step B). Be sure
to include the port information :88—or :1443 for a secure connection—in the ad-
dress field. For example, if the R3000 were assigned an IP address of 10.10.10.10,
you would enter http://10.10.10.10:88 or 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 R3000 Administrator console, the R3000 is functioning on your
network and you should proceed to Step 3.
if you cannot access the R3000 Administrator console, 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 R3000 is turned on.
• The R3000 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 R3000?
• is the R3000 plugged into a switch instead of a hub?
• is there a caching server?
• Can the R3000 ping the filtered PC? (Refer to the System Command window in the
Diagnostics section of the R3000 User Guide)
• Did you restart the R3000 after changing the network settings?
• Do you have both LAn ports connected to your network hub?
• if still unsuccessful, contact an 8e6 technologies solutions engineer or technical sup-
port representative.
