Network requirements – Internet connectivity
Access to this application is provided through the WisDOT extranet. To access the application, a connection to the Internet is required.

Dial-up via an Internet Service Provider
If you connect to the Internet via a dial-up or broadband connection to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), additional network configuration is probably not required.

Internal network connection to the Internet
If your connection to the Internet is via your organization’s internal network, additional network configuration may be required. Provide your organization’s network administrator or network security staff with a copy of this document.

Note to Network Administrator and Support / Network Security staff
Access to the WisDOT extranet is accomplished using SSL (Secure Socket Layer). If outbound SSL connections are blocked at your organization's firewall and/or your organization's proxy server(s), you will have to enable outbound connections for your personnel to access the WisDOT extranet.

Firewall and proxy configuration
WisDOT does not provide support for other organization's infrastructure components, including the diagnosis and configuration of firewalls, proxy servers, etc. WisDOT cannot assume any liability for problems or outages that may occur either directly or indirectly related to infrastructure configuration and support issues.
