Proxy Settings Tab

Use

To enable PCo to read the data of the service entered, you first need to make the proxy settings.

Procedure

Choose the Proxy Settings tab and enter the following:

Field Name	Description
Use Default Proxy	If you select this option, the default proxy server is used. Note To specify the proxy server that you want to be used by default, do the following: In the Internet Explorer menu, choose Tools Internet Options. Choose the Connections tab. Choose the LAN Settings pushbutton. In the dialog box that appears, select the Use Automatic Configuration Script checkbox and enter the proxy server in the Address field. Confirm your entries by choosing the pushbutton OK.
Bypass Proxy	You can use this option if the host of the Web service is in the local network. If this is the case, this is the recommended setting as it improves performance.
Use Specified Proxy	If you select this option, the three fields below become ready for input and you can enter a specific proxy server.
Proxy URI	You enter the Uniform Resource Identifier of the proxy server here. (See also: Uniform Resource Identifier.) You need to use the HTTP protocol schema, such as `http://proxy:8080`. Note The use of the HTTPS protocol schema is not required for the proxy because communication takes place using the proxy itself. The communication direction is as follows: PCo Proxy Cloud. Communication between the proxy and the cloud server is carried out automatically using HTTPS, if you previously set the endpoint URI of the cloud server in HTTPS format on the Web Service Settings tab.
User Name	You only need to enter the user name here if authentication is required for the proxy server.
Password	You enter the password for the proxy server here.
