ENTERPRISE REPORTER OVERVIEW OPERATIONS
ENTERPRISE REPORTER OVERVIEW
Though many companies have Internet filtering solutions to
prevent employees from accessing inappropriate, non-work
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 (ER) 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 userdefined report menu for repetitive, scheduled execution and
distribution.
Operations
In simplified terms, the ER operates as follows: the ER
Server accepts log files (text files containing Web access
data) from a source device such as the 8e6 R3000 Enterprise Filter. 8e6’s proprietary programs “normalize” the
transferred data and insert them into a MySQL database.
The ER Client reporting application accesses this database
to generate a virtually unlimited number of queries and
reports.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION INTRODUCTION
ADMINISTRATOR SECTION
Introduction
The authorized administrator of the ER Server is responsible for integrating the Server into the existing network, and
providing the Server a high speed connection to the designated logging device(s) and remote Client workstations. To
attain this objective, the administrator performs the following
tasks:
• executes Quick Start procedures defined in the ER Quick
Start Guide booklet packaged with the ER Server
• provides a suitable environment for the Server, including:
• high speed, 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 new administrators
• sets up administrators for receiving automatic alerts
• updates the Server with software updates supplied by
8e6
• analyzes Server statistics
• utilizes diagnostics for monitoring the Server status to
ensure optimum functioning of the Server
• establishes and implements backup and restoration
procedures for the Server
Instructions on configuring and maintaining the ER Server
are documented in this section.

ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 1: ACCESSING THE SERVER
Chapter 1: Accessing the Server
Preliminary Network Settings
To initially set up your ER Server, follow the instructions in
the ER Quick Start Guide booklet packaged with your ER
unit. This guide explains how to perform the initial configuration of the Server so that it can be accessed via an IP
address on your network.
NOTE: If you do not have the ER Administrator Quick Start
Guide, contact 8e6 Technologies immediately to have a copy
sent to you.
WARNING: In order to prevent data from being lost or corrupted
while the Server is running, the Server should be connected to a
UPS or other battery backup system.
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 Start 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 appended by the following port
number:
• “:88” for an HTTP address
• “:8843” for an HTTPS address
12 8E6 TECHNOLOGIES, ENTERPRISE REPORTER ADMINISTRATOR USER GUIDE
ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 1: ACCESSING THE SERVER
For example, if your IP address is 1.2.3.4, type in http://
1.2.3.4:88 or https://1.2.3.4:8843.
3. Click Go to open the login screen of the Administrator
console application (see Fig. 1:1-1).
Procedures for Logging On, Off the Server
Log On
Fig. 1:1-1 Login screen
1. In the login screen, type in the generic User Name
admin, and Password reporter, if you have not yet set
up your own user name and password. Otherwise, enter
your personal User Name and Password.
2. Click Login to go to the main screen of the Administrator
console.
8E6 TECHNOLOGIES, ENTERPRISE REPORTER ADMINISTRATOR USER GUIDE 13
ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 1: ACCESSING THE SERVER
NOTES: When logging on the Server for the first time, the ER
Status pop-up box opens, and the main screen displays with a
message, as shown in the example in Logging on the First Time.
Follow the directions in this sub-section before proceeding.
(Refer to Appendix A: Evaluation Mode for information on using
the ER Server in the evaluation mode, or for changing the Server
from this mode to the activated mode.)
If you are logging on during a subsequent session, the main
screen displays as in Fig. 1:2-1. If you have not set up your own
user name and password, see Set up an Administrator Login ID.
If using a consolidated ER server, some screens in the Administrator console differ; there are a few unique screens, and some
screens are not included. The Consolidated Mode icon displays
at the top of each screen, above the Help link:
A consolidated ER Server (CER) is used in environments with
multiple ER Servers, and acts as the source for consolidating
records from all remote ER Servers added in the Administrator
console. See the ER Web Client User Guide for information on
using the Web Client with a CER Server.
14 8E6 TECHNOLOGIES, ENTERPRISE REPORTER ADMINISTRATOR USER GUIDE
ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 1: ACCESSING THE SERVER
Logging on the First Time
If you are logging on the Administrator console for the first
time, the main screen displays with a message that asks
you to specify the Server’s function:
Fig. 1:1-2 Administrator console, main screen, first-time access
Specify the Server’s function
1. Click the appropriate radio button to specify the function
of the Server:
• choose Live if you wish the Server to function in the
“live” mode, receiving and processing real time data
from the Web access logging device.
• choose Archive if you wish the Server to function in
the “archive” mode, solely as a receptacle for historical, archived files. In this mode, “old” files placed on
the Server can be viewed using the Client reporting
application.
8E6 TECHNOLOGIES, ENTERPRISE REPORTER ADMINISTRATOR USER GUIDE 15
ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 1: ACCESSING THE SERVER
2. Click Apply to confirm your selection. The mode you
specify will immediately be in effect.
TIP: After choosing the function for the ER Server box on the
main screen, if you have not previously set up your own user
name and password, you should do so before entering any
Server settings.
Set up an Administrator Login ID

Technologies recommends you navigate from left to right
(Network to Server to Database) in choosing your menu options.
Network Menu
The Network pull-down menu includes options for setting up
and maintaining components to be used on the Server’s
network. These options are: Box Mode, Administrators,
Lockouts, Network Setting, Routing Table, Regional Setting,
