By default, the Webcache will limit the bandwidth used for preload tasks
to 10Mbits/s between the selected times. The hours selected will have no
effect on days where the bandwidth has not been restricted.
7 Enter the maximum bandwidth that the Webcache is to use for preload
tasks during restricted times. You may enter the amount in kilobits per
second (Kbit/s) or megabits per second (Mbit/s). Select the units you have
used from the drop-down box.
1 Mbit/s = 1,000 Kbit/s = 1,000,000 bps (bits per second)
The maximum bandwidth only takes effect during the restricted times as
set in steps 5 and 6 above. To set a global maximum, ensure that all the
day boxes are checked and set the hours to 00:00 and 23:59.
8 To enable verbose logging ensure that the Verbose Preload Task Logs box
is checked. This will increase the size of the log files but provides more
information for administrators.
9 To enable the 3Com Web Scheduler Browser Client ensure that the
Enable 3Com Web Scheduler Browser Client box is checked. Enabling the
Web Scheduler Browser Client allows users who do not have the
administration password to set up Preload Tasks using Internet Explorer. If
you do not check this box the 3Com Web Scheduler Browser Client will
not be able to access or create preload tasks on the Webcache. See
"Using the 3Com Web Scheduler Browser Client"
10 If you have enabled the Web Scheduler Browser Client click the Change
Password button and enter a password in the Password box. You must
supply this password to users of the Web Scheduler Browser Client to
allow them to use this feature. See
Browser Client"
The default preload password is preload. 3Com recommends that you
change the password from its default value.
11 Click the OK button to save your changes or the Cancel button to close
the window without making any changes.
The Webcache supports the preloading of a site either automatically to a
regular schedule or manually as a one-time preload. In addition you can
specify how much of a Web site is to be preloaded.
