Connection settings
Configure how the device running DTK connects to the internet and Cummins servers. On Windows, review these settings under Connectivity and Proxy Setup.
Expected result
DTK uses the selected direct or proxy connection settings for internet and server access.
Important notes / prerequisites
If your computer can access the internet but Guidanz cannot, your local network may require proxy settings. Ask your IT administrator for help and the required network information.
Proxy setting changes apply automatically.
Internet and server connectivity
These settings control the connection between your device and the internet or Cummins servers. They do not configure the connection to a vehicle, engine, or diagnostic adapter.
For the vehicle connection workflow, see Connect to an engine.
Windows procedure
- Open Settings & Preferences.
- Review the Connectivity section.
- Open Proxy Setup to review or change the connection configuration.
- When proxy is disabled, confirm that the page displays Direct connection (proxy is off).
Proxy Setup options

The proxy fields are disabled when proxy use is off.
DTK Mobile differences
On iOS and Android, distinguish the device's internet and server connection from its connection to the vehicle or diagnostic adapter. The Windows Proxy Setup procedure above applies to the Windows application.
