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

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

All connections to the pCon servers are established via an individual proxy. Please enter the proxy settings in the following fields. If your proxy server does not require user name and password, please leave these two fields blank.
