The Device View

Click Device View on the Toolbar to access the Device View. This view allows you to configure the physical and networking aspects of the Webcache.

The Device View Navigation Tree is displayed on the left side of the browser window and allows you to perform operations for the Webcache.

The Device View Information area is displayed on the right side of the browser and contains the device mimic and the Device Summary table.

Device Mimic

The device mimic is a virtual, interactive representation of the front and rear panels and the current status of the Webcache. All of the ports on the Webcache are shown. The device mimic is periodically updated to reflect changes in the Webcache. You can also perform certain operations by clicking on parts of the device mimic called "hotspots":

Cache Storage Device Hotspots
The cache storage device bays on the front panel mimic for the Webcache 3000 are "hotspots". Click one of the bays to open a pop-up menu that contains operations which you can launch for that cache storage device. The operations are Add Storage and Remove Storage.
Note: The Cache Storage Device Hotspots are not available on the device mimic for the Webcache 1000 because cache storage devices cannot be added or removed.
Console Port Hotspot
The Console Port on the rear panel mimic is a "hotspot". Click the port to open a pop-up menu that contains an operation which you can launch for the console port. The operation is Setup Console Port.
WAN/LAN Port Hotspot
The WAN and LAN Ports on the rear panel mimic are "hotspots". Click the WAN or LAN port to open a pop-up menu that contains an operation which you can launch for that port. The operation is Setup Port.

The device mimic also has three Controls, which are buttons that you can use to control the mimic and its appearance and to provide help information:
