Configure Proxy Server Settings Using CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS)

Note: If you are accessing Xerox CentreWare Internet Services for the first time after printer installation, you will be prompted to change the default Administrator Account password. The initial default password is the printer serial number. For additional information refer toChange the System Administrator Password for CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS).

A proxy server acts as a go-between for clients seeking services and servers that provide them. The proxy server filters client requests and if the requests meet the proxy server filtering rules, it grants the request and allows the connection.

A proxy server has two main purposes:

• To keep any devices behind it anonymous for security purposes.

• To cache content from resources, such as Web pages from a Web server, to increase resource access time.

Configure Proxy Server Settings:
