ProxyServer User Guide

Introduction

This chapter describes the ProxyServer 200-Series Proxy Server software package which is
designed for the Microsoft ® Windows ® environment. The Proxy Server Program Group has five
icons that allow you to configure your Proxy Server, download a default setup or firmware update,or
configure a local port from the Program Manager by double clicking on one of the icons.
Two levels of describing the Proxy Server software are provided; the Help screens contained in the
application provide the first level which is to define the options in a dialog box, the second level define
a task and how the dialog boxes need to be setup to perform that task. For example, in the IP Setup
dialog box, the LAN IP Address must be a static address that is assigned by the LAN Administrator.
This address must be unique to your LAN. This information is provided in the on-line Help. Now, the
task of assigning an LAN IP Address is described in this User Guide and covers the difference
between a static IP Address and a dynamic IP Address assigned by your local ISP as the port is
activated. The task approach in this User Guide is going to assume that you have access to the
Helps and therefore will not go into defining options or buttons within a dialog box, but more into the
task that need to be performed.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, let's cover a few procedural matters so that they are out of the way.

icon.
You may also start Proxy Server Configuration from the File Manager by selecting the Proxy directory
