Use the information in this guide to help you set up for testing and identify or resolve issues. If technical problems occur during testing, first contact your local technical support or technical coordinator. If your local support team cannot resolve the issue, ask your technical coordinator to contact the DataManager Support Center at 877-246-8337.
Review your firewall or proxy server settings
You will need to apply these settings to any proxy, firewall, content filter, or other security devices that is set up on your local machines or local network. If your institution is part of a larger network such as a district, county, or any sort of parent institution, then please share this information with the appropriate parties at that location as well (such as a Network Administrator):
- Please ensure that HTTPS Inspection is turned OFF. This can be very resource-intensive, as it decrypts and encrypts every packet. This setting is usually turned on by default.
- Remove any cap limitations on your HTTP and HTTPS communications. If either or both of those are capped at a certain limit of MBs, then that limitation will affect testing.
- The following IP addresses are set as approved/unblocked or given the highest priority.
- URLs have been approved and given unrestricted access.
