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
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 mapping). 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
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 network 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 will open the Print Console, a terminal emulation program that will enable
you to configure any external devices connected to the 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 only supported 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.
