ATTO Technology Inc. FastStream VT 5300 Installation and Operation Manual
2.2 Optional changes to system parameters
Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified for your needs using ATTO
FastStream VT 5300 browser-based user interface.
Customize the username, password
It is best practice to change the default username
and password to a username and password
significant to you.
While opening a Command Line Interface session
is not usually recommended, you must use the
CLI to change the username and password.
Note
The username is case insensitive and
password is case sensitive.

serial port as shown in Interface options
on
page 23.

yourself in the text boxes.

Controls the connection mode the
FastStream VT 5300 uses when
communicating across a FC network, either
to an arbitrated loop (FC-AL) when you
select loop mode, or point-to-point when you
choose ptp. If you choose loop-ptp or ptp-
loop, the FastStream VT 5300 tries to use
the first parameter first, but uses the second
if it cannot use the first. The default is loop
• Enable or disable hard address
assignment
Under soft addressing, the FastStream VT
5300 loop address is assigned during loop
initialization. Enter the hard address if you
enable hard addressing: a hexadecimal
