Managing firewalls If the C9 Server is behind a firewall, configure a proxy server to allow the C9 Server access to the internet for automatic updates. To configure a proxy server, in Configure select Network > Proxy, then select Enable HTTP Proxy and enter the required information about the proxy server. In addition, if your network includes a firewall, make sure that the firewall is configured to enable communication between the C9 Server and the client computers. Do not enable the Windows Firewall on the C9 Server. Configure System Updates You can use the System Updates feature to schedule updates of the system software. To view and install updates immediately, you can use the Check Now feature. Plan system updates for when the C9 Server is not in use, such as nights or weekends. While system updates are being installed, print jobs cannot be sent to the C9 Server. The C9 Server automatically reboots during the system update process. It may need to reboot several times. 1 In Configure, sign in with Administrator privileges, then click Fiery Server > System Updates and select Enable System Updates. 2 Alternatively, if you are using the C9 Server for this task, access the C9 Server with the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface (FACI) and then click Start > All Programs > Fiery > System Updates and then select Check for important system updates. You can also access the C9 Server with Remote Desktop, and then select the commands indicated above.
