You can access the Command Line Interface using:
A terminal or terminal emulator connected to the console port of the
I
Webcache directly, or through a modem.
A terminal or terminal emulator connected to the Webcache over an
I
IP network using Telnet. You can do this in two ways:
Run a telnet session explicitly to the IP address or Domain Name
I
System (DNS) name of the Webcache.
Select System > Control > Telnet in the Web interface. This opens a
I
telnet session to the Command Line Interface.
You must use a VT52 or VT100/ANSI compatible terminal emulator.
To manage the Webcache using the Command Line Interface through the
console port:
1 Connect the terminal or terminal emulator to the console port.
If you are connecting directly to the console port, you need a standard
I
null-modem cable.
If you are connecting to the console port using a modem, you need a
I
standard modem cable. The console port of the Webcache has a male
9-pin D-type connector. You can find pin-out diagrams for both cables
in the "Cable Specifications and Pin-outs"
To connect the cable:
a Attach the female connector on the cable to the male connector on
the console port of the Webcache.
b Tighten the retaining screws on the cable to prevent it from being
loosened.
c Connect the other end of the cable to your terminal, terminal
emulator, or modem. Make sure that the terminal, terminal emulator,
or modem have the same settings as the console port:
