Using a Proxy Server

Skip Navigation LinksSupport > Knowledge Base > Eclipse > Using a Proxy Server


Eclipse has the capability to automatically check for updates from the AMS Controls website.  Eclipse can also send troubleshooting information (a compressed set of files) to AMS Controls so Technical Support and Engineering can examine data files to help customers solve problems.

When Eclipse must go through a proxy server to access the internet, the following settings must be configured:

  • Navigate to the Eclipse folder on the Master PC.
  • Open the XLWIN.INI file for editing (notepad).
  • In the [XLCommon] section, add these lines:
    • FTP_Proxy=xxxxxxx:yyyy
    • HTTP_Proxy=xxxxxxx:yyyy
In the settings above, xxxxxxx is the Proxy name or IP address, and yyyy is the Proxy port number.
