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
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.
1Open a CLI session either using Telnet or the serial port as shown in Interface options on page 23.
2Type set Username [user name]
3Press Enter.
4Type set Password
5Press Enter.
6Follow the instructions on the screen to confirm your old and new password.

•Change the SCSI configuration for each port
•Bus speed
