Internet proxy

The Proxy entry in the category Network opens the proxy settings.

The DataClient uses only the HTTP protocol to transfer data via internet. The following dialog allows you to set customized HTTP proxy settings.

Use system settings

If you select this option the proxy settings of Windows will be used. The actual settings used depend on the installation type:

Manual installation

If you manually perform an update the proxy settings of the currently logged-in user are used.

Automatic installation

Since the automatic installation is performed by a system service, the proxy settings for system services are applied. These settings are also used by Windows Update, for example. These settings can be changed on the command prompt as follows:

•Show settings: netsh winhttp show proxy

•Change settings: netsh winhttp set proxy

•Transfer settings from current user: netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie

Direct connection to the Internet

All connections to the pCon servers are made established directly, i.e. without using a proxy.

Use the following HTTP proxy

All connections to the pCon servers are established via an individual proxy.
