Connection Settings

The advanced settings of connection ports and proxy server allow the Tool to connect to the UBIQUITY network infrastrutture and establish a VPN connection with the remote device.

To configure network port and proxy settings for VPN connections:

  1. Access the UBIQUITY Manager and select Tools > Connection Settings.
    Note: When clicking on Connection settings, a dialog window will show up asking for permission to open the Connection settings Tool. Prior to confirming, flag the Always allow checkbox to prevent this message from prompting again during this session. If you use a different computer or a different browser, this message will prompt again.
  2. Under Connection > Port select the network port to use for VPN connections.
    • Auto: The Tool automatically selects the appropriate port based on the connection request.
    • 80: The Tool will only attempt to establish a remote access using the HTTP protocol over port 80. If the connection over port 80 is rejected, the session is not established.
    • 443: The Tool will only attempt to establish a remote access using the HTTP protocol over port 443. If the connection over port 443 is rejected, the session is not established.
    • 5935: The Tool will only attempt to establish a remote access using the HTTP protocol over port 5935. If the connection over port 5935 is rejected, the session is not established.
  3. If a proxy service is used for internet connections, select the type of proxy server under Proxy:
    • None: A proxy server is not used for the internet connection.
    • HTTP: HTTP Proxy Server. Forwards HTTP requests.
    • SOCKS5: SOCKS5 Proxy Server. Forwards TCP and UDP packets.
    Note: See Proxy for further information on this subject.
  4. After making your selections, click Apply to save the proxy settings to the domain.

Once the connection to the remote device is established, if the device is disconnected, it will enter a timeout mode while it automatically attempts to reconnect. In this situation, a warning icon displays while attempting to reconnect.
