Proxies

A proxy is a service running on a computer that takes an information

 

request from another computer and passes the request on as if the request

 

was its own. Typically, many companies use proxies to control access from

 

their internal network to the external Internet.

 

In some situations, you may not be able to communicate with the E5810 if

 

you are using a proxy server. Typically, the web page will timeout because

 

the requested address is not accessible by the network, although the correct

 

IP address or hostname is entered into the Web browser address field.

 

To fix this communication problem between the web browser and the E5810

 

web server, the browser must be informed that any requests to the E5810

 

should not utilize a proxy. Suggested steps to set proxy notification for some

 

Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator versions follow.

 

Steps to Set Proxy Notification (Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5)

1From Internet Explorer, select Tools->Internet Options

2Click the Connections tab

3Click the LAN Settings… button under Local Area Network (LAN) settings

4Under Proxy server, if “Use a proxy server” is checked, click the Advanced… button

5Under Exceptions, add the IP address of the E5810 or a fully- qualified domain name (such as myE5810.example.com) to the list box called “Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with:” Use a semicolon (;') to separate entries.

6Click the OK button on the bottom of the Internet Options dialog box to make changes active.
