The GUI Management section will guide you through the initial set up required to install the Bridge on to your network 1 1 Overview The Fibre Channel Bridge creates an interface between a network which utilises the Fibre Channel protocol and iSCSI devices that reside upon the Ethernet network The internal circuitry of the Bridge acts as a two way interface converting the data packets that are received on the Fibre Channel network to iSCSI data packets ready for transporting these across a network to iSCSI enabled storage devices such as disks tape drives The Bridgeworks FCE2200 Fibre Channel Bridge Oresund FCE2200 Page 5 1 2 Manual Layout Throughout the manual symbols will be used to quickly identify different pieces of information This icon represents a note of interest about a step or section of information E This icon represents an important piece of information This icon represents a warning care must be taken and the warning should be read thoroughly 1 3 Definitions ISCSI Target Device ISCSI target devices are devices such as disk drives tape drives or RAID controllers that are attached to the network Each device is identified by an IQN iSCSI Qualified Name iSCSI Qualified Name IQN Anything connected to a network be it a computer printer or iSCSI device must have a unique identifier such as an IP address to enable other devices to communicate with it With iSCSI devices both targets and
