NOTE:

The transceiver fits only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.

Connect the Management Workstation to the Router

You can manage the router using the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager or the command line interface (CLI). SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager requires an Ethernet connection to the router. CLI can use an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. Choose the router management method, then connect the management workstation to the router in one of the following ways:

„Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router RJ-45 connector through an Ethernet switch or hub. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight cable.

„Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T crossover cable.

„Serial port connection from the management workstation to the router RS-232 serial port connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight cable and a dongle.

Configure the Management Workstation

The router comes from the factory with a default IP address (10.0.0.1). Prior to product installation, follow the procedures based on your configuration method:

„If you plan to configure the router through the management Ethernet port (using the SANsurfer Router Manager or CLI via telnet), you must initially configure the workstation as described in Setting the Workstation IP Address on page 4-6.

„If you plan to configure the router using the management COM port, configure the workstation as described in Configuring the Workstation Serial Port on page 4-6.
