ATTO Technology Inc. FastStream VT 5300 Installation and Operation Manual
2.2 Optional changes to system parameters

Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified for your needs using ATTO

FastStream VT 5300 browser-based user interface.

Customize the username, password

It is best practice to change the default username

and password to a username and password

significant to you.

While opening a Command Line Interface session

is not usually recommended, you must use the

CLI to change the username and password.

Note
The username is case insensitive and
password is case sensitive.
1 Open a CLI session either using Telnet or the
serial port as shown in Interface options on
page 23.
2Type set Username [user name]
3 Press Enter.
4Type set Password
5 Press Enter.
6 Follow the instructions on the screen to confirm
your old and new password.
The username and password for all Telnet, FTP
and ATTO FastStream VT 5300 browser-based
user interface sessions is changed.

• Enable or disable Simple Network Time
Protocol.
Enabling SNTP means the FastStream sets its
time and date based on the information supplied
by a server on the World Wide Web. If you
disable SNTP, you set the time and date
yourself in the text boxes.
• Change the Fibre Channel configuration for
each port
• Data rate
Specifies the rate the FastStream VT 5300
uses 1 Gigabit/sec., 2 Gigabit/sec. 4
Gigabit/sec. or auto negotiate. The default is
auto.
• Connection mode
Controls the connection mode the
FastStream VT 5300 uses when
communicating across a FC network, either
to an arbitrated loop (FC-AL) when you
select loop mode, or point-to-point when you
choose ptp. If you choose loop-ptp or ptp-
loop, the FastStream VT 5300 tries to use
the first parameter first, but uses the second
if it cannot use the first. The default is loop
• Enable or disable hard address
assignment
Under soft addressing, the FastStream VT
5300 loop address is assigned during loop
initialization. Enter the hard address if you
enable hard addressing: a hexadecimal
value representing the address the
FastStream VT 5300 tries to use. Choices
are 0 through 125 and default is fp1=3; fp2=4
• Change the SCSI configuration for each port
• Bus speed
Controls the transfer rate at which the unit
attempts to negotiate with its SCSI devices.
Default is Ultra 320

maps coinciding with the ID are destroyed
after the command is issued. Default is 7
