ProxyServer User Guide
Introduction
This chapter describes the ProxyServer software and explains how to make changes to the
configuration of your ProxyServer. The major configuration parameters were established during the
loading of the software (Chapter 3). The ProxyServer software and configuration utilities allow you to
make changes to that initial configuration.
The ProxyServer software allows you to refine your configuration based on your network
connections. The software is based on a main menu (Proxy Setup) that allows you to consider all the
parameters for a particular feature (e.g., Internet access, DHCP Server addressing, and Virtual
Server mappings). These features, along with others are discussed in detail in the ProxyServer
Configuration section later in this chapter.
The other five configuration utilities offer additional functionality. Wizard Setup guides you through
the initial configuration and software downloading, as described in Chapter 3. Download Firmware
allows you to download new versions of firmware when enhancements become available. The
Configuration Port Setup utility allows you to change the method by which you access the
ProxyServer (i.e., direct connection of a PC to the Command Port on the ProxyServer, or via your
Internet connection to the LAN port on the ProxyServer). The Uninstall ProxyServer Configuration
utility is designed to remove the software from your PC. The WAN Device Configuration utility
allows you to configure the three WAN ports. The Remote User Data Base option allows you to
enter information regarding your remote users; and, the Upgrade Proxy feature allows you to
download software updates from Multi-Tech System's FTP site.
Note: The WAN Device Configuration utility is supported only if you are directly connected to the
ProxyServer. This Utility is not supported when accessing the ProxyServer via the network.
Your ProxyServer software includes the ProxyServer on-line Help system. The Help is designed to be
context sensitive. Clicking the Help button within a given dialog will provide definitions and
recommended values for each button, option, and field for that dialog. In some instances, you will
also be presented with a list of related topics that can be displayed by clicking the green, underlined
text. In addition, you can search the entire Help system (via the Index tab) for definitions and
references to specific terms, fields, and recommended values where applicable.

group contains all of the utilities described above, and is accessible in Windows by clicking Start |
Programs | ProxyServer 2.10 | (utility), or by double-clicking the utility icon in the program group in
My Computer. The program group is shown here:
