Configure your Service Proxy

Back to knowledge base

The Udocx service proxy is an optional component providing communication between the MFP device and the Udocx cloud service.  The service proxy is required for some older devices that cannot connect directly to the cloud.  You only need to install this proxy server if it is explicitly mentioned in the Udocx configuration guide for your particular MFP(s).  The Udocx service proxy requires the FTP Service role of the operating system, but can be installed on any server on your network with a static IP.  The server and the service must be running and available for all Udocx operations.

The Udocx service proxy may be downloaded from the "Udocx Admin Portal" > "Settings" > "Service Proxy" Tab.  The link appears in the text description of the service proxy.
