Setting up a proxy server
A proxy server is a computer that acts as a gateway between your local network (and your SendPro C-
Series meter) and a larger-scale network such as the Internet. Proxy servers provide increased
performance and security.
A proxy server works by intercepting connections between sender and receiver. All incoming data enters
through one port and is forwarded to the rest of the network via another port. By blocking direct access
between two networks, proxy servers make it much more difficult for hackers to get internal addresses
and details of a private network.
To setup the proxy complete the following:
1. Tap the Settings (gear) icon in the global toolbar.
2. Tap the Wi-Fi or Wired (Ethernet) option in the in the Device & Network section.
3. In the Proxy Setting drop-down select Manual.
4. For Proxy Hostname enter the IP address of your proxy server.
5. For Proxy Port, enter the port the SendPro® C-Series should use to send network traffic to the
Proxy Server.
6. This step is optional. Use Bypass to enter any specific URLs or URL patterns (such as internal
addresses) that you want to bypass the proxy.
7. If your Proxy Server requires authentication, select the Need Authentication check box and
additional fields will be displayed.
a. Enter the Proxy Username.
Note: This may be case sensitive for some proxy servers.
b. Enter the Proxy Password Note:
Note: This is case sensitive for proxy servers.
