3. Enter root for the default user name and password for the default password. It is 
recommended that you change the user name and password as soon as possible, using the 
Visual Manager or serial/telnet interface. 
4. Access configuration options in the same way used for the serial interface.
5. To exit the Telnet session, select the Disconnect option from your Telnet client utility. In most 
Telnet utilities, this option is available as a menu item.
Visual Manager
The VT5900-SA allows any standard Internet Web browser to view and change the VT5900-SA’s 
configuration with the Visual Manager interface. Information is dynamically generated in an 
HTML format by the VT5900-SA so that Web browsers can access it. 
To access Visual Manager, enter the IP address of the VT5900-SA into the Address field of a Web 
browser. Or, you can enter a URL using a host name defined by the user—for instance, 
http://VT5900-SA. But the user must define the host name on the DNS server first. 
To make changes to settings, use standard keyboard and mouse controls to input information and 
then select the Submit button to send the changes to the VT5900-SA. 
A user name and password are required before any changes can be submitted. The default user 
name is “root” and the default password is “password.” It is recommended that you change the 
user name and password as soon as possible.
Other than dynamic mapping changes, any other changes will not take effect until the next time the 
VT5900-SA reboots. The unit can be forced to reboot by selecting the Reboot option.
For more information about the Visual Manager interface, refer to Chapter 6, “Using Visual 
Manager”.
FTP
The VT5900-SA includes support of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for updating firmware, saving 
trace buffers, and backup/restore of configuration settings. FTP functionality is described in more 
detail in 
Chapter 8. There is also an FTP Utility available within Visual Manager that is described 
in Chapter 6, “Using Visual Manager”.

The VT5900-SA includes SNMP management support. SNMP commands are transported via 
Ethernet. The VT5900-SA supports FA MIB 2.2 and a private Enterprise MIB. Both MIBs are 
described in Appendix E.
Controller LUN Commands
The VT5900-SA supports a set of SCSI-3 commands that can be received as FCP commands over 
the Fibre Channel bus. These commands provide support for value added features such as
