SANbox 6142 Router Installation
FI0054601-00 C 4-5
A
Install the Transceivers
The router supports a variety of SFP transceivers. To install a transceiver, insert
the transceiver into the port and gently press until it snaps in place. To remove a
transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release tension, then pull
the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different transceiver
manufactures have different release mechanisms. Consult the documentation of
your transceiver.
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. The 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-through 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-through cable and an RJ45-to-DB9F adapter (included with the
router).
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 GUI 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.
NOTE:
The transceiver fits only one way. If the transceiver does not install under
gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
