A proxy server acts as a go-between for clients seeking services and servers that provide them. The proxy server filters client requests and if the requests meet the proxy server filtering rules, it grants the request and allows the connection.

A proxy server has two main purposes:

  • To keep any devices behind it anonymous for security purposes.

  • To cache content from resources, such as Web pages from a Web server, to increase resource access time.

IMPORTANT: You must know the login information in order to perform this procedure. If necessary, contact your System Administrator for additional assistance.

  1. Login to the kiosk User Interface (UI) as Administrator.

  2. Login to configuration settings as Administrator in Xerox CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS). 

  3. Select the Properties tab.

  4. Touch Connectivity > Setup.

  5. For Proxy Server, touch Edit.

  6. In the HTTP Proxy Server pane, select Enabled.

  7. Select the Proxy Server address type. Options are IPv4 Address or Host Name.  IPv6 is not enabled. 

  8. Type the appropriately formatted Proxy Server Address.

  9. Touch Save.

  10. Logout of configuration settings as Administrator in Xerox CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS).

  11. Logout of the kiosk User Interface (UI) as Administrator.
