HTTP Proxy

The HTTP proxy configuration allows you to configure KentixONE devices for communication with external services via a proxy server. Additionally, a separate sensor proxy can be set up for communication between the main device and satellites.

HTTP Proxy

An HTTP proxy acts as an intermediary between client and server. It receives HTTP requests from the client and forwards them to the target server. KentixONE devices can communicate as a client with an HTTP proxy server.

Active

Enables or disables the use of the HTTP proxy. When enabled, all HTTP requests to external services such as the KentixONE online service or the Kentix OTA update servers are routed through this proxy.

Address

The IP or DNS address of the HTTP proxy server. This is the address of the proxy server through which the HTTP requests should be routed.

Port

The network port on which the HTTP proxy is accessible. By default, HTTP proxies use port 8080 or 3128, but this may vary depending on the proxy configuration.

Username

The username for basic authentication at the HTTP proxy. This field can be left empty if no authentication is required.

Password

The password for basic authentication at the HTTP proxy. This field can be left empty if no authentication is required.

note

In case no authentication is required at the HTTP proxy server, the corresponding fields for username and password can be left empty.

Sensor Proxy

The configuration of the sensor proxy offers the possibility to set up an HTTP proxy between the main device and the satellites. All HTTP requests between main and satellites are then routed through this proxy server.

Active

Enables or disables the use of the HTTP sensor proxy for communication between the main device and the satellites.

Address

The IP or DNS address of the HTTP sensor proxy server. This is the address of the proxy server through which communication between the main device and satellites is routed.

Port

The network port on which the HTTP sensor proxy is accessible. Similar to the HTTP proxy, different ports can be used depending on the proxy configuration.

Username

The username for basic authentication at the HTTP sensor proxy. This field can be left empty if no authentication is required.

Password

The password for basic authentication at the HTTP sensor proxy. This field can be left empty if no authentication is required.

note

In case no authentication is required at the sensor proxy server, the corresponding fields for username and password can be left empty.
