Adding Proxy Applications
Certain software on your LAN may require a TCP or UDP port usage that is not currently
supported by the ProxyServer. If this is the case, you can refer to RFC 1700 on the Internet
which defines the Internet Protocol suite. RFC 1700 identifies the parameters, such as Internet
address, domain names, autonomous system numbers, protocol numbers, port numbers, and
much more. Once the necessary information has been determined, you can add the
application(s) to the supported list. Without this information, the Proxy will not allow packets
through to the Internet from the unknown software.
This list includes many of the most common port usages, however, not all are included because
an increase in the number of port usages supported means a possible decrease in performance
speed, and an increased security risk.
If you wish to add ProxyServer applications that are not currently supported, click on the Proxy
Server button in the Proxy Setup menu. The Proxy Applications Configuration dialog box
appears. This menu includes a list of all the applications currently supported by the ProxyServer.
Click on the Add button. The Add/Edit Entry dialog box appears.
This dialog will allow you choose the desired protocol, and enter a Port Name/Number and
Description. After you have entered these items, click OK to add the port usage to the list of
supported usages.
When you have completed the additions/edits, click OK. You are returned to the Proxy Setup
menu.
Click Download Setup to save the new configuration to the ProxyServer.
