There are two main types of restricted proxy environments in which a testing site registers Testing Devices with DRC INSIGHT—environments that provide temporary Internet access to configure Testing Devices and environments that do not provide Internet access to Testing Devices. The process for registering DRC INSIGHT with Testing Devices is different for these two environments.
Note: If DRC INSIGHT is not registered with the restricted proxy host, DRC INSIGHT will not use the restricted proxy host setting.
Environment A: Temporary Internet Access to Configure Testing Devices
For this testing environment each Testing Device has temporary Internet access while DRC INSIGHT is being installed and the restricted proxy feature is being configured. After the installation and configuration of DRC INSIGHT and the restricted proxy feature is complete, the temporary Internet access is removed.
In this environment, after the site administrator has updated the COS Configuration by specifying the restricted proxy feature (see Specifying a Proxy Host or Restricted Proxy Host), they can manually start DRC INSIGHT on each Testing Device in the COS Configuration and exit DRC INSIGHT to register DRC INSIGHT with the restricted proxy host.
After DRC INSIGHT is registered with the restricted proxy host, DRC INSIGHT will use the restricted proxy host whenever it is started.
Environment B: No Internet Access for Testing Devices
For this testing environment, the Testing Device never has Internet access—before, during, or after DRC INSIGHT and the restricted proxy feature is being configured.
In this environment, after the site administrator has updated the COS Configuration by specifying the restricted proxy feature (see Specifying a Proxy Host or Restricted Proxy Host), they must create deployment files and distribute the updated COS Configuration.
The deployment files have the scripts for installing DRC INSIGHT with the restricted proxy setting. After these files have been deployed to the Testing Devices, when DRC INSIGHT is initially launched, the device will register with its Org Unit without needing Internet access and DRC INSIGHT will use the restricted proxy host whenever it starts.
