110 CHAPTER 12: COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
Accessing the
Command Line
Interface Through the
Console Port
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
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:
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:
■ 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.
2 Access 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.
3 Configure 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.
