your network. The VTrak becomes a node on your network like any other PC,
server or other component with an IP address.
VTrak ships from the factory an IP address of 10.0.0.1. You must change this
address to one that will work with your network. You make the initial IP address
setting using the CLI or CLU. See “Setting up the Serial Connection” on page 23.

Note that VTrak Management Port can accept IP address assignments from a
DHCP server. Use VTrak’s Command Line Utility (CLU) to enable this feature. If
you have not activated DHCP support but there is a DHCP server on your
network, there is a chance that it will inadvertently assign the VTrak’s
Management Port IP address to another node. You might see a warning to this
effect on your PC's monitor. If this happens, WebPAM PROe may not be able to
connect. See your network administrator to work out a suitable arrangement.
iSCSI Connections
A recent variation of the SCSI interface is Internet or IP SCSI (iSCSI), which
converts SCSI commands to TCP/IP commands for communication over a
network. VTrak uses two Gigabit Ethernet network connections to move data
under the iSCSI protocol. The iSCSI ports will accept IP address assignments
from a DHCP server. Also, you can use WebPAM PROe for the initial setup.
