System
Section: The System section is comprised of windows used
for configuring and maintaining the server to authenticate users,
and to filter or block specified Internet content for each user
based on the applied filtering profile.
To
choose a main topic or to view a menu of available sub-topics,
click your selection in the navigation panel at the left of the
screen. This action displays the window for that topic in the
right panel, or opens a menu if sub-topics exist for your selection.
Group
Section: Windows in the Group section are used for creating
and managing IP groups and sub-groups, and for setting up LDAP
domains, groups, and individual users. Filtering profiles are
created for IP sub-groups, and LDAP workstations, groups and users,
and containers.
The
navigation panel at the left of the screen contains a hierarchical
list of groups set up in a tree format. At the root of this
tree is Group. For each new session, the list of groups is collapsed
by default, and includes the following branches of the tree:
Global Group, IP, and LDAP if authentication is enabled.
NOTE: Group administrators will only see the Global Group and
IP branches of the tree. If using the synchronization feature,
a server set up in the Target mode to synchronize both profile
and library setting changes will not have branches of the tree
accessible to group administrators, and global administrators
will only see Global Group > Range to Detect.
Double-click
the branch of your selection to display the list of groups/domains
previously added to that branch. Keep double-clicking items
in the tree list to view additional items.
For
any item in this tree list, click the item to view a menu of
sub-topics. Sub-topics include actions that can be performed
for the selected item.
Library
Section: Library section windows are used for adding and maintaining
library categories. Library categories are used when creating
or modifying a filtering profile.
A
list of main topics displays in the navigation panel at the
left of the screen. Main topics in this section include the
following: Updates, Library Lookup, Customer Feedback Module,
Category Weight System, NNTP Newsgroup, Pattern Detection Whitelist,
and Category Groups.
NOTE: Group administrators will only see the Library Lookup
and Category Groups > Custom Categories topics. If the synchronization
feature is used, an Web Filter set up in the Target mode to synchronize
both profile and library setting changes will only display the
Updates, Library Lookup, Customer Feedback Module, NNTP Newsgroup,
and Pattern Detection Whitelist topics for global administrators,
and group administrators will only have the Library Lookup topic
available.
To
select Updates, click this topic. This action opens a menu of
sub-topics: Configuration, Manual Update, Additional Language
Support, Library Update Log, and Emergency Update Log.
Click
Library Lookup, Customer Feedback Module, Category Weight System,
NNTP Newsgroup, or Pattern Detection Whitelist to select that
topic.
Double-click
Category Groups to open the tree list. From this tree list,
double-click a category group to view the library categories
within that group. Click a library category to view its menu
of sub-topics.
To
add a custom category, click Custom Categories and select Add
Category. Custom Categories should only be added if the category
you need is not included among the M86 supplied categories.
A custom category must be maintained by the group administrator
or the global administrator. M86 maintains M86 supplied categories
only.
Reporting
Section: The Reporting section contains the Report Configuration
window that is used if this Web Filter's log files will be transferred
to a reporting application.
From
the navigation panel at the left of the screen, click Report Configuration,
Real Time Probe, or Shadow Log Format (or Usage Graphs on an
R3000IR unit) to display the specified window in the right panel.
For Help
in a System Window: For help in any window, press F1
on your keyboard or mouse-over the "?" symbol to view information
about that window.
Navigate
to Another Section: To navigate to another section, click
the button at the top of the screen for Home, System, Group, Library,
or Reporting.
How to
Exit the Administrator Console: To end your session, click the Quit button at
the top of the screen.
