ENTERPRISE REPORTER 3.0 OVERVIEW
hough many companies have Internet filtering solutions
T
to prevent employees from accessing inappropriate, nonwork related Web sites, simply blocking these sites is not
enough. Administrators want the ability to know who is
accessing which site, the duration of each site visit, and the
frequency of these visits. This data can help administrators
identify abusers, develop policies, and target sites to be
filtered, in order to maximize bandwidth utilization and productivity.
The Enterprise Reporter 3.0 (ER 3.0) from 8e6 Technologies
is designed to readily obtain this information, giving the user
the ability to interrogate massive datasets through flexible
drill-down technology , until the desired view is obtained. This
“view” can then be memorized and saved to a user-defined
report menu for repetitive, scheduled execution and distribution.
OVERVIEW
Operations
In simplified terms, the ER 3.0 operates as follows: the ER
3.0 Server box accepts log files (text files containing Web
access data) from a source device such as 8e6’s R2000
Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition, or the 8e6 R3000
Enterprise Filter. 8e6’ s proprietary programs “normalize” the
transferred data and insert them into a MySQL database. The
ER 3.0 Client reporting application accesses this database to
generate a virtually unlimited number of queries and reports.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION
Introduction
The authorized administrator of the ER 3.0 Server is responsible for integrating the Server into the existing network, and

tasks:
• executes Quick S tart procedures defined in the four-page
Quick St art Guide leaflet packaged with the ER 3.0 Server
• provides a suitable environment for the Server , including:
• high speed, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) link to the
current logging device
ADMINISTRATOR SECTION: INTRODUCTION

Power Supply (UPS)
• high speed access to the Server by authorized Client
workstations
• adds new administrators
• sets up administrators for receiving automatic alerts
• updates the Server with patches supplied by 8e6
• analyzes Server statistics

IP address on your network.
NOTE: If you do not have the ER 3.0 Quick Start Guide,
contact 8e6 Technologies immediately to have a copy sent to

Procedures for Accessing the Server
WARNING: Once you turn on the Server, DO NOT interrupt
the initial boot-up process. This process may take from five to 10
minutes per drive. If the process is interrupted, damage to key
files may occur.
When the Server is fully booted, any workstation on the
network that can access the Server’s IP address (set up
during Quick St art procedures) will be able to communicate
with the Server via the Internet.
1. Launch Internet Explorer (IE).
2. In the address line of the IE browser window, type in the
Server’s IP address. Port number “88” should be appended
to this IP address. For example, if your IP address is
1.2.3.4, type in http://1.2.3.4:88.
3. Click the Go button to open the login dialog box of the
Administrator GUI application.

The Server box mode displays by default when you first log
on the Server, or when the Box Mode option is selected from
the Network menu. (See Figs. 1:2-1 and 1:2-2.) The box
mode indicates whether the Server box is functioning in the
“live” mode, or in the “archive” mode. When the box mode
displays on the screen, you can view the current mode set for
the Server, and can change this setting, if necessary.
Live Mode
Once your Server is configured and the Server box is set in
the “live” mode, it will receive and process real time data from
the Web access logging device. The Client reporting application can then be used to capture data and create views.
Archive Mode
In the “archive” mode, the Server box solely functions as a
receptacle in which historical, archived files are placed. In this
mode, “old” files placed on the Server can be viewed using
the Client reporting application.

Add/Edit/Delete Administrators screen
The Add/Edit/Delete Administrators screen displays when the
Administrators option is selected from the Network menu.
This screen is used for viewing, adding, editing, and deleting
the login ID of personnel authorized to configure the Server.
For security purposes, administrators should be the first
users set up on the Server.

TIP: 8e6 recommends adding an alternate login ID prior to
editing or deleting the default login ID. By doing so, if one login ID
fails, you have another you can use.
