Note: Speeds other than 10Gb/sec may not be supported by your 10Gb NIC. Using a 10GBASE-T Category 6 Cable (RJ45) If you are using a copper based solution using the RJ45 connector, a Category 6 (or better) Ethernet cable is required, with a maximum length of 100 meters. To connect the FCE102200 to an Ethernet network or directly to a device, connect one side of the Category 6 Ethernet cable into a RJ45 port located on a 10 Gigabit Ethernet card at the back of the unit. -
Page 14: Connecting The Power Supply
Note: Only use SFP transceivers that meet or exceed the following standards: EU: IEC/EN 60825-1, North America: FCC, CDRH The following Optical Fibre cables may be used: • Multi-mode Optical Fibre 50/125 OM3 Patch Cable (LC), up to 300 meters. •... - Page 15 Note: Before powering up the FCE102200, ensure that all peripherals are properly connected and are powered up, and that you have connected a Management port to your network. To turn on the FCE102200 push the switch on the opposite side to the power connector. The following image shows the switch.

Page 16: Using The Web Interface
Note: JavaScript must be enabled within the web browser to use the web interface. Important: If you choose to use a browser that is not in the list of supported browsers, Bridgeworks cannot guarantee the behaviour of the Gateway’s functionality. Connecting to the Web Interface Note: •... - Page 17 If the Gateway fails to receive a DHCP address, the web interface can be accessed from the default http://10.10.10.10/ http://10.10.10.12/ static IP address by navigating to: Important: Your host will likely need to be directly-connected to the Gateway if DHCP is not enabled, and its subnet set appropriately. See Appendix A: Accessing the Gateway from Windows using a static IP Address for help with accessing the Gateway web interface without DHCP.

Page 21: Setting The Mtu
Setting the MTU Enabling larger frames on a jumbo frame-capable network can improve your network throughput. Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames that contain more than 1500 bytes of payload (MTU). Before enabling jumbo frames, ensure that all the devices/hosts located on the network support the jumbo frame size that you intend to use to communicate with the Gateway. -
Page 22: Setting The Ip Address
Important: Some networking switches require you to specify the size of the jumbo frame (MTU) when enabling, as opposed to a simple enable command. On these switches it might be required to add the necessary bytes needed for the frame header to the MTU size you specify in the Gateway’s port configuration. -
Page 23: System Password
The web interface will display the following: System Password This section allows the administrator to change the access password for the web interface. The new password must be between 5 and 65 characters and can contain symbols and numbers.

Page 29: Connected Hosts
Note: It is recommended to leave Hard AL_PA unchecked unless you are conversant with the lower levels of the Fibre Channel protocol, as certain AL_PA addresses are reserved. The Enable tERP check box, which is only present for 8Gb/s cards, will enable or disable the Target Error Recovery Protocol for the port. - Page 30 The following will be displayed: There are two choices from the drop down list: Automatic will assign all devices to all Fibre Channel target ports, so that any connected host will see all devices. Manual will allow the administrator to manually assign which target devices appear on which Fibre Channel port.
- Page 31 To assign a target device to a Fibre Channel Port: 1. Select a target device from the list in the Device & Logical Unit drop down menu. 2. Select which Fibre Channel Port you wish the device to appear on. 3.
