5 Enter the PAC URL from which your system downloads the PAC file.
6 Select Save.
Your system automatically downloads and reads the PAC file specifying the proxy rules. The system also automatically
downloads subsequent files before the current file expires.
Manually Update the PAC File on the System
Even if you set up your G7500 and Studio X series system for automatic or semi-automatic web proxy configuration, you
can still manually download a new PAC file from the server.
The PAC file may update on the server much sooner than its expiration date. In this situation, you don’t have to wait for the
system to automatically download the latest version.
Task
1 In the system web interface, go to Network > LAN Network > Web Proxy Settings.
2 Select Update PAC File to fetch the latest version of the file from the server.
Manually Configure a Web Proxy
You can manually configure your G7500 and Studio X series system to communicate with a web proxy by providing a proxy
address, port, and credentials (if required).
This method lets you configure your system with only one proxy.
Task
1 In the system web interface, go to Network > LAN Network > Web Proxy Settings.
2 If checked, clear the Automatic Configuration check box.
3 Enter the Proxy Address and Proxy Port.
4 Enter the Proxy User Name and Proxy Password.
5 Select Save.
Sample PAC File
A proxy auto-configuration (PAC) file is a text file that instructs your system to forward traffic to a proxy server.
The following code shows a sample PAC file.
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if ( url.substring (0, 5) == "http:" )
{return "PROXY 10.221.77.3:8080; PROXY 10.221.76.7:8080;DIRECT";}
else if ( url.substring (0, 6) == "https:" )
{return "PROXY 10.221.77.3:8080; PROXY 10.221.76.7:8080;DIRECT";}
else
{return "DIRECT";}
}
The Function “function FindProxyForURL(url, host)” returns a string with one or more access method
specifications. These specifications cause your system to use a particular proxy server or connect directly.
This function instructs your system to retrieve information for http / https protocols using the first proxy, that is “PROXY
10.221.77.3:8080”.
If “PROXY 10.221.77.3:8080” is unreachable/unresponsive, then your system tries the second proxy, that is “PROXY
10.221.76.7:8080”.
For more examples on PAC syntax, refer to Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file.
PAC file limitations:
• If the first specified proxy is reachable and the authentication is unsuccessful, your system doesn’t try a different proxy
path.
