Web interface correctly, use one of the following Web browsers:

If you use Internet Explorer, 3Com recommends that you use version 5.0
or later.
For the browser to operate the Web interface correctly Javascript and
Cascading Style Sheets must be enabled on your browser. These features
are enabled on a browser by default. You will only need to enable them if
you have changed your browser settings. Also the Web interface has
been optimized for PC screens with the desktop area set to 800 by 600
pixels. It is also recommended to set the font size to Small Fonts.
2 In the Location/Address field of the browser, enter the URL of the
Webcache. This must be in the format:
http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
where
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
is the IP address of the Webcache.
192.168.1.253 is the default IP address of the Webcache.
You can include the port number on which the Webcache listens as part
of the URL of the Webcache i.e. http://192.168.1.253
:8081 .You must use
port 8081 if you disable the Web interface on port 80 (see page 105 for
more information).
3 When the browser has located the Webcache, a user name and password
screen is displayed as shown in
Figure 30 .
