By default, your appliance connects to the internet to download software updates, licenses, device software, map information, and user feedback. Maintain an internet connection for these configuration tasks.

Note

The appliance interface that's configured to route internet-bound traffic acts as the source for all communications.

Use an HTTPS proxy server to access remote URLs securely. Also use an HTTPS proxy server so your appliance can access the URLs in the Required internet URLs and fully qualified domain names list. During appliance installation, you are prompted to enter the proxy server's URL, port number, and login credentials if needed.

Your appliance currently supports communication with proxy servers over HTTP only. Place the HTTPS proxy server anywhere within your network. The proxy server communicates with the internet using HTTPS, while the appliance uses HTTP to communicate with the proxy. Specify the proxy’s HTTP port when configuring the appliance.

To change the proxy setting after configuration, use the GUI.
