This procedure needs to be performed only when the
Controller is connected to an Intranet and the User’s computer
is set to access the Intranet through a proxy server. Note that if
the Controller is connected to the Internet and the User’s
computer is connected to an Intranet, the User may not be
able to disable the proxy server and access the Controller.
If the Controller’s Ethernet Port is connected to your company’s
Intranet Network and your computer is also connected to the
Intranet Network but requires access via a proxy server, you must
disable the proxy server settings to access the Controller. Follow
the procedure below to disable the proxy server settings.
