11.3 USING ISCSI DEVICES

11.3.1 Remotely Access an iSCSI Device

To connect to an iSCSI device that exists on your network, follow these directions.

a. Ensure that the Ethernet port through which the Ditto Forensic FieldStation is connected to your

network is properly configured for use with your network (see Section 5.2). Unless you have manu-
ally configured the Ditto Forensic FieldStation’s network settings before, you most likely do not have
to change anything. If you are directly connecting the iSCSI device to the Ditto Forensic FieldStation,
then see Section 11.3.2.

b. On the “Home” Screen, navigate down to the bottom of the “Disks” panel.

c. Click the

Source Network

button if you want to attach the iSCSI device to the Ditto Forensic FieldSta-

tion as a write-blocked source device, or click the

Destination Network

button if you want to attach

the iSCSI device as a read/write-enabled destination.

d. Click on the

iSCSI tab

if it is not already selected.

e. Type the iSCSI device’s IP address into the “Target Host” text field.

f. Type in the port number of the target iSCSI volume into the “Port” text field if the number is different

than the default value of ‘3260’. If you don’t know the port number, leave it as the default value.

g. Click the

Discover button

. The Ditto Forensic FieldStation will detect any IQNs (iSCSI Qualified

Names) attached to the IP address.

h. Select the IQN you wish to attach to the Ditto Forensic FieldStation from the drop-down box.

i. If authentication is required to connect to the IQN, click the

Advanced... button

and input the appro-

priate credentials, including the user name, password, and domain. Otherwise, continue to Step J.

j. Click the

Add button

. The IQN will now appear in the list below.

k. Repeat steps

through

to add more IQNs. When you are finished, click

Close

The iSCSI disk(s) have now been added to the list of Disks, allowing you to perform actions on them like
you would any other disk.

The “Target Mode” window is used to allow

computers and third party software to remotely con-
