Introduction

This chapter provides procedures for changing the configuration of a remote unit. Remote

configuration allows a PC at one site (local site) to dial a remote ProxyServer and change the

configuration of that remote unit. Remote configuration can be accomplished either directly

through the LAN or remotely using modems. To remotely configure a ProxyServer, a local PC

needs to be connected to a dial-up line and the ProxyServer software configured to call the

remote ProxyServer. The remote ProxyServer needs to have a modem connected to a dial-up

line and the Command Port. Once the connection to the remote unit is made, you can change the

configuration as you see fit. Once the configuration is changed, you can down load the new

configuration to the remote ProxyServer. Refer to the

Procedure

to remotely configure a ProxyServer.

To configure the remote ProxyServer through the LAN, change the communication type to the IP

based Trivial File Transfer Protocol (known as TFTP) and change the configuration as you see fit.

Refer to the LAN-Based Remote Configuration Procedure in this chapter to configure a remote

ProxyServer.

At the remote site, remove the serial cable from the PC to the Command Port connector

on the back panel of the ProxyServer.

At the remote site, connect a special cable (Remote Configuration Cable) to the

Command Port connector on the back panel of the ProxyServer and the RS232

connector on the modem. The special cable is a serial cable with male connectors on

both ends. Refer to

Connect the modem to your local telephone line.

Provide your telephone number to the person verifying your configuration.

At the main site, connect your local PC to a modem that is connected to a dial-up line.

Install the ProxyServer software on the local PC. When installed, click Start | Programs

| Proxy Server 2.01 | Configuration Port Setup, or double click on the Configuration

Port icon in the ProxyServer 2.01 program group.

The Proxy Server Setup dialog box is displayed.

Verify that the Communication Type is set for COM Port and the Select Port field is set

for the COM port of your local PC.
