Access the ATTO FibreBridge using Telnet or FTP over Ethernet
To access the ATTO FibreBridge via Ethernet:
1
Connect an Ethernet cable between the
FibreBridge and a 10/100Base T connection.
You may need a crossover cable connecting
directly to a computer. The ATTO
FibreBridge will auto detect the Ethernet
speed if configured to do so.
2
Access using any standard Telnet program.
To connect via Telnet:
1
Supply the IP address to the Telnet program.
The local echo should be set to
on
if the
Telnet software supports it. Use Vt100 for
communication.
2
Verify that the bridge can be accessed on
the local Ethernet by using the Ping utility.
On most systems, type
ping <IP Address>
. If
the FibreBridge does not respond, it may
not be connected correctly to the network,
or is somehow unreachable by the
computer from which it is being pinged.
Check network connections and security as
well as the ATTO FibreBridge.
To set up and configure FTP:
1
Ensure that the FTP program is in binary
mode. Access the ATTO FibreBridge at the
IP address that was previously set (or the
default).
2
Log into the ATTO FibreBridge. The
username the bridge will accept is
sysadmin
.
Enter
userid
as the password.
