Chapter 2 Getting Started

Using online help

Both the MONITOR and CONFIGURE tabs have a Help page button. When 
you click the Help page button, the online help opens in another browser 
window. Each of the Manager UI pages has online help available.

You can access the command-line interface using one of two methods:

✔ Provide a serial connection to the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance 

machine. Refer to the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance Quick Start Guide 
for detailed information.

✔ Access the machine through a telnet connection. This method requires you to 

enter a telnet Administrator ID and password. Refer to Changing the 
administrator password for telnet or serial access‚ on page 60 for 
information on this ID and password.

For information on using the command-line interface, refer to Chapter 1‚ Using 
the Command-Line Interface.

statistic.

Set your browser to the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance proxy port. 

Browse the Internet.

Check the HTTP User Agent Total Document Bytes value. 

This value should have increased if caching is working. 

Two IDs and passwords exist for each appliance: one to access the Manager UI 
and one to access the CLI when you are connected to the appliance through a 
telnet or serial connection. By default, the appliance uses 

admin

 for both the 

Administrator’s ID and password in each case. 

For a given Manager UI session, an ID and password are required the first time 
you access an appliance or the cluster, or when you attempt to connect to a node 
through a telnet connection. The Administrator’s ID and password are unique for 
each node in the cluster. It is recommended that you change the default
