Chapter 1: Accessing the Server
Preliminary Network Settings
To initially set up your ER Server, follow the instructions in
the M86 IR Installation Guide booklet packaged with your IR
unit. This guide explains how to perform the initial configura-
tion of the Server so that it can be accessed via an IP
address on your network.
NOTE
: If you do not have the M86 IR Administrator Installation
Guide, contact M86 Security 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 Logging On, Off
Access the ER Administrator Login window
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 installation procedures) will be able to communicate
with the Server via the Internet.
The ER Administrator user interface is accessible in one of
two ways:
• by entering the IR’s URL in the Address field and then
clicking the ER Administration Module icon in the IR
Welcome window (see Access ER Admin Module from
the IR Portal)
