Disabling Proxy Server in Internet Explorer
A Proxy Server is a computer or application that functions as an intermediary be-
tween a web browser (such as Internet Explorer) and the Internet or Web Server.
Originally proxy servers were designed to help improve web performance by
storing a collection cache of frequently used web pages. With the advent of
much faster connection speeds to the Internet, proxy servers are now primarily
used in corporate networks to help improve security by filtering out some web
content and malicious software.
Using a web browser, you connect to the BLACKBOX Portable’s web server
through HTTP in much the same way you connect to the Internet. To view the
web server of the device or embedded router, access to TCP Port 80 is required.
Depending on the configuration of your LAN, (please consult your Network
Administrator), you may (not) have permissions set to allow direct access to Port
80 on the BLACKBOX Portable device. In such cases, it may be necessary to
disable the proxy server in Internet Explorer.
