Proxy Configuration

A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other
servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page,
or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its
filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter,
the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of
the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their
companies, and proxy configuration is an essential part of doing that. Proxy configuration acts as a security
barrier ensuring that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally
an integral part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.
NOTE Proxy settings are for the device not for a specific wireless network. If using the ET1 in one location that
requires a proxy and then moving to another location that does not require a proxy, the proxy must be
disabled.
