Connection Method: Specifies the method by which the associated interface connects to
n
Remote Manager.
TCP: Connect using TCP. This is the default connection method, and is typically good
l
enough for most connections. It is the most efficient method for connecting to Remote
Manager in terms of speed and transmitted data bytes.
Automatic: Automatically detect the connection method. This connection method is less
l
efficient than TCP, but it is useful in situations where a firewall or proxy may prevent direct
connection via TCP. This option tries each connection option until a connection is made.
This connection method requires that you specify HTTP over Proxy Settings.
None: This value has the same effect as selecting TCP.
l
HTTP: Connect using HTTP.
l
HTTP over Proxy: Connect using HTTP.
l
HTTP over Proxy Settings: The settings required to communicate over a proxy network
l
using HTTP. These settings apply when you select when Automatic or HTTP over Proxy
connection methods.
Hostname: The name of the proxy host.
l
TCP Port: The network port number for the TCP network service on the proxy host.
l
Username:
l
Password: The user name and password used to sign in to the proxy host.
Enable persistent proxy connections: Specifies whether the Remote Manager-registered
l
device should use HTTP persistent connections. Not all HTTP proxies correctly handle HTTP
persistent connections. Using persistent connections can improve performance when
exchanging messages between the Remote Manager-registered device and Remote
Manager using the HTTP/proxy connection. You can reuse the same HTTP connection for
multiple consecutive HTTP requests and replies, eliminating the overhead of establishing a
new TCP connection for each individual HTTP request/reply, then closing that connection
when the request is complete.
