your local network and select "Use Browser Settings" option for access from your

internal network to the internet.)

5. Refresh or restart the webpage.

4.3.1.3 Browser Proxy Selection

Accessing iSE units within your internal network

•

Usually when the computer and iSE are on an internal network, you will not use Proxy

server access.

•

You should un-check the "Use Browser Settings" option on the "Proxy" tab.

Accessing iSE units using the internet

• Often the web browser will use Proxy server access to the internet. In such cases, the

default Java runtime settings on the "Proxy" tab should suffice. The default setting is the

"Use Browser Settings" option.

• If the default proxy setting doesn't work, then you may have a situation where the proxy

settings of the web browser are incorrect.

Diagnostics:

If the web page of the iSE appears, then the HTTP Proxy is working fine.

If the data isn't updated on the iSE upon selecting the Read Sensor web page, there may be a

problem with access through a winsock proxy server. In such cases your network administrator

will need to provide the winsock proxy server and port #s. (If the administrator requires

knowledge of the port # required on the iSE, the value is 2003).

These values should be entered into the Socks line on the "Proxy" tab (of the Java Plugin control

panel) or into the "connections" tab on the View,Internet Options dialog and make sure that the

Proxy tab shows that the "Use Browser Settings" option is not selected (i.e. when you specify

proxy connections in the Java Plugin control panel.

Accessing iSE units over Peer-to-Peer network

A simple peer-to-peer network is setup by disconnecting from the main network (as users will

often do when trying to do initial setup of the iSE) and then connecting the iSE to another

computer using a ethernet hub, an ethernet switch, or a Cross-over cable connection.

Often when using a peer-to-peer network, the Java plugin and the web browser (such as Internet

Explorer) have internet connections configured to connect through proxy servers. In such case,

you will need to simply assign the final IP address on this peer to peer network and then view the

iSE charts after connecting the iSE into the regular network. Otherwise you can disable the Java

plug-in's "Use Browser Settings" temporarily and then reconfigure the Java plug-in settings for

regular network access after testing the iSE chart access on your peer-to-peer network.

The "Use Browser Settings" should not be selected. And the HTTP and Socks proxy entries

should be blank. Also, setup the internet browser so that proxy servers are disabled.
