How to Resolve an Incorrect Proxy Detection

Before or after installation the Onsite Manager or Device Manager may detect and attempt to connect through a Proxy server which no longer exists on the network regardless of the settings in MWProxyConfigurationTool.

The TraceExpertSystem.txt log or LpiSetups.log may show errors similar to the following or other errors indicating failures connecting to a proxy:

INFO LPI.ExpertSystem.ActionManagers.SCLogManager - Could not post om scanning status to SC - System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 10.10.50.12:8080
