Proxy Server and Port Number
The following describes proxy server settings and the port number required for this
service.
Proxy Server
We recommend that you access this service directly, not through a proxy server.
Note • If using a proxy server, specifying the machine's IP address in the browser results in slower
responses, and could prevent some screens from appearing. In such cases, set the
machine's IP address on the browser not to use a proxy server. For information on the
setting instructions, refer to the documentation provided with your browser.
Port Number
The default port number of this service is "80". The port number can be changed in
[Properties] > [Connectivity] > [Protocols] > [HTTP]. Ports "1" to "655" can be used.
If you set the port to a number other than 80, you must add ":" and the port number after
the IP address or the Internet address when entering the address into your browser.
For example, if the port number is 8080, the URL is:
http://[the machine's IP address]:8080/
or
http://[the machine's Internet address]:8080/
You can check the port number in a Configuration Report. For information on the Configuration Report,
refer to "4 Machine Status" > "Machine Information" > "Print Reports" in the Administrator Guide.
Note • If communications are encrypted, you must specify an address that starts with "https"
instead of "http" to access CentreWare Internet Services.
Starting CentreWare Internet Services
To use this service, perform the following procedure on your computer.
1 Start up the computer, and a web browser.
2 Enter the machine's IP address or Internet address in the browser address field, and
press the <Enter> key.
Note • If your network uses DNS (Domain Name System) and the machine's host name is
registered in the domain name server, you can access the machine using the URL with the
combination of the host name and the domain name. For example, if the host name is
"myhost", and the domain name is "example.com", then the Internet address is
"myhost.example.com".
• Ask your system administrator for the IP address or Internet address.
• When specifying a port number, add ":" and the port number after the IP address or the
Internet address.
• If the Authentication feature is enabled on the machine, enter a user ID and passcode in the
[User Name] and [Password] fields. Ask your system administrator for the user ID and
passcode.
• If communications are encrypted, you must specify an address that starts with "https"
instead of "http" to access CentreWare Internet Services.
• If authentication of the system administrator fails, the following message is displayed in the
right frame of web browser:
"Login failed."
• If the number of times that authentication fails exceeds the specified number, the following
message is displayed in the right frame of web browser:
"Switch the machine Off and then On for System Administrator login."
