Proxy Setup

All changes to your ProxyServer configuration are initiated through the Proxy Setup dialog box or
Main menu.  To view or change your ProxyServer configuration in Windows 98/95 and Windows NT,
click Start | Programs | ProxyServer 2.10 | ProxyServer Configuration. You can also start the
ProxyServer Configuration from My Computer by double-clicking the Proxy.210 folder on your local
drive, then double-clicking on the Roucon.exe file.  After loading, the Proxy Setup menu will appear.

The Proxy Setup menu consists of 13 buttons, eleven of which allow you to display and change the
IP settings, define the WAN ports, change features such as the Internet, DHCP Server, ProxyServer,
and virtual Servers, display WAN port Statistics, control activation of Telnet, TFTP, and WEB servers
and dumb terminal management,  test the communications link, print messages received from the
target ProxyServer, and download setup information to the ProxyServer.

The two outer buttons in the bottom row enable you to open the on-line Help system and end (Exit) a
Proxy configuration session.

Note: Pressing the Built-In Test button displays the Diagnostics dialog box which allows you to
perform certain hardware tests on the LAN and WAN links. The Print Console option brings up the
console terminal that displays any print message received from the ProxyServer.
