GTC – SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT GROUP 1.4.2. Internet Settings If an internet connection error occurs, please verify that you are really connected to the network and check your proxy settings in the dialog that you can activate in Commands >> Internet Settings : Fig. 7. Internet Settings Dialog Sometimes invalid proxy settings are the reason of internet license activation and local database update failures. By default the setup program activates the option that uses “system default proxy settings”. In some cases this option does not work and you must explicitly specify your proxy configuration. The Connection Settings section lets you specify the way you are connected to the internet.
The following options are available: 1. Direct connection (don’t use proxy ): use this option if your PC is directly connected to the internet; 2. Use system default proxy settings : use the settings that you have specified in the Internet Explorer or Google Chrome web browsers, if you have installed them in your PC. If the proxy you are using requires explicit authentication (username and password), you cannot use this option but you must explicitly specify credentials with the “ Use the following proxy settings” option; 3. Use the following proxy settings : use this option to explicitly specify your proxy settings. If you use this option you must fill-in the Proxy Settings section.
The HTTP Proxy field allows you to specify the DNS name or the IP address of your proxy. The default TCP port for the proxy is 80. You can specify another port by separating the DNS name (or IP address) to the port number by means of a colon. If your proxy requires authentication, you must specify also the User Name , Password , and Domain fields. © 2012 Electrolux Italia S.p.A., All rights reserved 14 File: SidekickPC Manual (EN).pdf - Date: 20/04/2012
