36 Getting Started with the McDATA Intrepid FICON Director
4.1 Installation and setup
The first steps to install the McDATA Intrepid FICON Director are described in the installation
instructions shipped with the machine. The instructions guide you through the following steps:
1. Unpacking the FICON Director
2. Connecting the FICON Director to power
3. Unpacking and installing the EFC Server
Once these steps are completed, the following steps can be used to help you through the
setup process of the Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager environment.
Step 1. Checking and altering the IP address
Before connecting the FICON Director and the EFC Manger console to the service LAN,
check the defined IP addresses.
If multiple Directors are connected to the same service LAN, check to ensure the IP
addresses match your requirements and each CTP card has a unique IP address.
Use a HyperTerminal session a described in “Setting up a HyperTerminal session” on
page 72 to get the current IP address of the Director. The default IP address of the Director is
10.1.1.10 and 255.255.0.0 is the default subnetwork mask.
If it is necessary to alter an IP address and subnetwork mask, follow the procedure in
“Altering an IP address in a CTP card” on page 74.
Step 2. Logging into the EFC Server
On the EFC Server, double click the McDATA EFC Manager icon and the EFC Manager login
will be displayed. Type in the user ID (
Administrator) and password (password), then press
Enter. Note that the user ID and password are case sensitive.
Step 3. Checking the EFC Server version
Once logged into the EFC Manager, click the Help tab, then the About tab. The current
version of the EFC Server application will appear (see Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1 EFC Server version display
If a newer version is available, it should be installed at this time. See “Installing EFC Manager
server software” on page 75 for the proper procedure.
Step 4. Connecting the FICON Director and EFC Server
Important: Changing the CTP card’s IP address may also require changing the EFC
Server IP address to allow connectivity between them.
