• iSCSI 
• SCSI 
• RS-232 (3-pin Serial) [Management/Configuration Interface]
• Ethernet [Management/Configuration Interface]

Before connecting the TC2201E to other iSCSI devices, it is important to 

understand the configuration requirements of the environment to which it 

will be connected. Failure to correctly configure an iSCSI device may impair 

the operation of the network to which it is attached. 
The iSCSI RJ-45 connectors on the unit can be directly connected to a standard 

10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet network.
Typical installations will have the TC2201E connected to an Ethernet switch 

or hub. The unit can also be directly attached to the iSCSI host bus adapter, in 

a Point-to-Point fashion.
