Hub Core, Hub Pro - Proxy server - Installation manual (HTML)

Proxy: A proxy is a server that secures network traffic. Any network device that makes use of the proxy must be configured to communicate with that proxy server. The proxy server will then handle the network traffic to and from the network device in a secure manner.

IP address: An IP address is a numeric address given to a device on a network. A generation four address (IPv4) is built up using four digits between ‘0’ - ‘255’, for example ‘192.168.0.50’. This allows different network devices to find each other on the network.

LAN: A Local Area Network (LAN) is a collection of network enabled devices in the same physical site or building. Typically all network devices in the same LAN have the same IP address range.

There are two main types of proxy networks:

Transparent proxy servers, which are automatically used without configuration.
Explicit proxy servers, which must be configured on the Base Unit. For more information, see the following procedure.

For more information on which proxy server is being used at the installation location, contact the local IT department.

Must an explicit proxy server be configured?
