Corporate Internet access via a Proxy Server:
Here your Franking Machine is connected to your internal corporate network using a standard Ethernet
(CAT5, RJ45) cable, with either DHCP allocating the IP address or your IT/Security departments giving you
details for manual configuration. Additionally, a security device called a Proxy Server is used to permit
access to Neopost.
It is likely you will need to ask your IT/Security teams to create settings for the Franking Machine in the
Proxy Server Configuration. They will need to know the following information:
The Franking Machine needs to reach: uk-meterservices.neopost.com using TCP port 443 (which is also
known as SSL or HTTPS).
It will talk to your Proxy Server via TCP port 8080 by default, and is capable of sending username and
password.
They may respond by providing you with a Username and Password, as well as an IP address or DNS name
for the Proxy Server. These details will allow the Franking Machine to get access to Neopost.
