2. Click on "Settings" & "View Applets" in the "General" tab.
3. Select the "Settings" button on the General Tab

instructions
below.You should either select the "Use Browser Settings" option or the "Direct
Connection" option depending on the network connections between your computer
and the iServer product. (Generally, select "Direct Connection" if accessing iServers
on your local network and select "Use Browser Settings" option for access from
your internal network to the internet.)
5. Refresh or restart the webpage.
4.3.1.3 Browser Proxy Selection
Accessing iServer units within your internal network
•
Usually when the computer and iServer are on an internal network, you will not use Proxy
server access.
•
You should un-check the "Use Browser Settings" option on the "Proxy" tab.
Accessing iServer units using the internet
•
Often the web browser will use Proxy server access to the internet. In such cases, the
default Java runtime settings on the "Proxy" tab should suffice. The default setting is the
"Use Browser Settings" option.
•
If the default proxy setting doesn't work, then you may have a situation where the proxy
settings of the web browser are incorrect.
Diagnostics:
If the web page of the iServer appears, then the HTTP Proxy is working fine.
If the data isn't updated on the iServer upon selecting the Read Sensor web page, there may be a
problem with access through a winsock proxy server. In such cases your network administrator
will need to provide the winsock proxy server and port #s. (If the administrator requires knowledge
of the port # required on the iServer, the value is 2003).
These values should be entered into the Socks line on the "Proxy" tab (of the Java Plugin control
panel) or into the "connections" tab on the View,Internet Options dialog and make sure that the
Proxy tab shows that the "Use Browser Settings" option is not selected (i.e. when you specify
proxy connections in the Java Plugin control panel.
Accessing iServer units over Peer-to-Peer network
A simple peer-to-peer network is setup by disconnecting from the main network (as users will
often do when trying to do initial setup of the iServer) and then connecting the iServer to another
computer using a ethernet hub, an ethernet switch, or a Cross-over cable connection.
Often when using a peer-to-peer network, the Java plugin and the web browser (such as Internet
Explorer) have internet connections configured to connect through proxy servers. In such case,
you will need to simply assign the final IP address on this peer to peer network and then view the
iServer charts after connecting the iServer into the regular network. Otherwise you can disable the
Java plug-in's "Use Browser Settings" temporarily and then reconfigure the Java plug-in settings
for regular network access after testing the iServer chart access on your peer-to-peer network.
The "Use Browser Settings" should not be selected. And the HTTP and Socks proxy entries
should be blank. Also, setup the internet browser so that proxy servers are disabled.
