You can access the Command Line Interface using:

■A terminal or terminal emulator connected to the console port of the Webcache directly, or through a modem.

■A terminal or terminal emulator connected to the Webcache over an IP network using Telnet. You can do this in two ways:

■Run a telnet session explicitly to the IP address or Domain Name System (DNS) name of the Webcache.

■Select System -> Control -> Telnet in the Web interface. This opens a telnet session to the Command Line Interface.

You must use a VT52 or VT100/ANSI compatible terminal emulator.
