Interface Through the

 

Console Port

 

1Connect the terminal or terminal emulator to the console port.

■If you are connecting directly to the console port, you need a standard null-modem cable.

■If you are connecting to the console port using a modem, you need a 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”chapter on page 147.

To connect the cable:

aAttach the female connector on the cable to the male connector on the console port of the Webcache.

bTighten the retaining screws on the cable to prevent it from being loosened.

cConnect 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:

■8 data bits

■no parity

■1 stop bit

To configure the settings of the terminal, terminal emulator, or modem, see the documentation that accompanies it. You must configure the terminal and set the line speed (baud) to match that of the Webcache console port. Unless you have changed it, the default line speed is 9600 baud. You can change the baud rate of the console port via the Web interface.

2Access the Command Line Interface using a valid user name and password. Default user names and passwords are described in “Logging in as a Default User” on page 58.

3Configure the basic settings of the Webcache by completing the Getting Started wizard. For more information, see “Setting Up Using the Command Line Interface” on page 40.
