3. To access the CacheRaQ, enter its Network 1 IP address into
the browser’s URL field. For example:
4. Press the Return or Enter on your keyboard.
A Welcome page appears, with the Cobalt logo at the top and
a Start button at the bottom.
5. Click the
Start button to begin the Setup Wizard
configuration process.
A second browser window opens to the Setup Wizard.
The Setup Wizard guides you through several configuration
screens, each of which requires you to enter some information.
After entering the requested information, click the NEXT button
to move to the next screen in the Setup Wizard. You can return to
earlier screens by clicking the Setup Wizard's BACK button. All of
the Setup Wizard configuration options can be accessed from the
CacheRaQ's normal Web interface, so you can come back and
change or view any setting at any time after finishing the Setup
Wizard.
The Setup Wizard presents the following four steps, each with its
individual screen: Cache Settings, Network Integration,
Administrator Setup, and Time Setup. It’s a good idea to read
through the descriptions of these screens before you begin, to
make sure you have all the required information.
1. Cache Settings
The Cache Settings screen allows you to configure the
CacheRaQ's caching software.
The most important setting on this page is the first one — the
Caching Mode Setting. Select from among Traditional Proxy
Caching mode, Transparent mode, and Transparent mode with
dual interfaces. These modes are described in Chapter 1,
“Introduction.”
The next setting, Refresh Ratio, determines how often the
CacheRaQ's caching software will refresh cached Web pages. A
refresh occurs when the caching software decides that a
requested document (that’s in the cache) should be checked
