OLVING

This chapter contains a list of known problems and suggested solutions. It 
covers the following topics:

Accessing the Webcache via the Console Line

Accessing the Webcache via Telnet

Solving Web Interface Problems

Solving Command Line Interface Problems

Solving Webcache Performance Problems

Accessing the 
Webcache via the 
Console Line

The terminal or terminal emulator cannot access the Webcache.

 

Check that:

Your terminal or terminal emulator is correctly configured to operate 
as a generic (TTY) terminal, or a VT100 terminal.

You have performed the Command Line Interface wake-up procedure 
by pressing [Return] a few times.

The settings on your terminal or terminal emulator are correct and 
match those set for the Webcache console port:

8 data bits

no parity

1 stop bit 

The Webcache only works with line speeds from 1200 to 19,200 
baud. The default line speed of the Webcache is 9600 baud.

If the login sequence still does not display, reset the Webcache. For more 
information, see “Rebooting the Webcache” on page 123. If this does 
not work, initialize the Webcache. For more information, see “Initializing 
the Webcache” on page 122.
