ATTO Technology 1500D/E, 1550D/E Ethernet port configuration, ISCSI configuration, Mapping

Ethernet port configuration

Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified for your needs using CLI commands. Refer to Ethernet commands on page 35 for more information. Commands control the MTU or Maximum Transmission Unit, Ethernet speed, the IP address, gateway and subnet mask, and set the password and username.

Note

Ethernet speed settings in the host must be the same as Ethernet speed settings in the iPBridge. The iPBridge default Ethernet speed is auto: your host must be set to auto. If you set Ethernet speed to 10, your host must be set to Ethernet speed 10, half duplex. If you set Ethernet speed to 100, your host must be set to Ethernet speed 100, half duplex.

iSCSI configuration

Commands set a human-readable name to the iPBridge, provide passwords and authentication for iSCSI sessions, and specify whether nor not the iPBridge uses an ISNS server.

Note

If you are using Microsoft Intitiator, use the latest drivers.

Note

If using Windows XP, make sure you have Windows XP Service Pack 1 from Microsoft to enable iSCSI.

Mapping

The iPBridge by default automatically maps devices on startup. You may change mapping using ExpressNAV, the web-based server, or by using CLI through the Ethernet or serial port. Refer to Mapping devices on page 43 and Mapping commands on page 39.

OEM configuration services

Privileged OEM configuration services perform OEM-specific product branding and labeling functions only available to OEM customers such as vendor, product, and model number identification during power up display.

These commands may only be “set” from within an OEM config file and the commands do not result in reservation of the iPBridge. The information in a “get” command may only be displayed within a TTY CLI session. These commands will not be displayed in the help menu.

Refer to Privileged OEM configuration services on page 41 for more information.
