Configuring the Network and iSCSI
Settings
The following sections include procedures for configuring the miSAN-V-Series network
and iSCSI settings. You must complete the Network and iSCSI device configuration prior
to initially using the miSAN-V-Series.
Prerequisites
Make sure to have the following available to allow for accessing the miSAN-V-Series on a
private network:
• Desktop or laptop computer with a JavaScript™-enabled Web browser.
• Standard, 3-prong AC power cord (IEC320 C13 to NEMA 5-15P) for each power
supply (2)
• CAT-5 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors, to establish a direct-cable TCP/IP
connection
• Network parameters specific to your network: IP Address, Netmask, Gateway
(“Default Route”) and Nameserver
Network Setup Preparation
1. Make sure the computer is powered on and ready for use.
2. Connect a CAT 5e or CAT 6 ethernet cable between the Administrative LAN interface
port (ETH ) on the rear of the miSAN-V-Series and the network interface port on the
rear of the computer.
3. Power on the miSAN-V-Series using the momentary power switch on the front panel
(See Figure 2-2). Wait for the miSAN-V-Series to complete initialization before
continuing, after about three minutes.
4. Configure the computer to communicate with the miSAN-V-Series To do so, change
the computer’s IP address to an address in the 192.168.1.X subnet (but not
192.168.1.1), for example
192.168.1.10, and change the subnet mask to
255.255.255.0.)
Note
Before changing the IP Address and Netmask, make sure to write down
their current settings to be used when resetting them later.
Note
When any network parameters are changed, and the changes are
committed by clicking OK, the changes will take effect almost
immediately.
