The following sections describe how to connect the Webcache to your 
live network.

3Com recommends that you use Category 5 cable to connect the LAN 
port to your network — the maximum segment length for this type of 
cable is 100 m (328 ft).

Use the following sequence of steps to connect the Webcache to your 
network:

1 Connect an appropriate network cable to the LAN port on the rear panel 

of the Webcache. Simply slot the connector on the cable into the RJ-45 
LAN port. When the connector is fully in, its latch locks in place. To 
disconnect the cable, push the connector’s latch in and remove it.

2 Connect the other end of the network cable to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX 

port on a suitable switch or hub in your network. The switch or hub that 
you connect the Webcache to is determined by the deployment 
environment that you choose; for further information, see “Deploying 
the Webcache in Your Network” on page 33.

Password

A password for the admin user name, which 
you must enter whenever you manage the 
Webcache via the Web interface or 
Command Line Interface. Can be up to 10 
characters long, is case-sensitive and must 
only contain alpha-numeric characters.

range 1024-8080 and 8090-65534. 3Com 
recommends you use the default port 
number of 8080.
