ATTO Technology Inc. FibreBridge Installation and Operation Manual

 3.0  Configure the FibreBridge

To configure the ATTO FibreBridge, use ATTO ExpressNAV. Default values are appropriate for most 
configurations, but may be modified.

The best way to access the FibreBridge to view
and change settings is to use ATTO ExpressNAV 
System Manager, a browser-based graphical 
interface. Other methods are also available. Refer to 

Interface options

 on page 8. 

Help is available from within ExpressNAV for many 
configuration settings. Mouse over a field name, which 
will turn into a selectable link if help is available. Click 
on the link to display help in a pop-up window. For 
more information on any of these parameters, refer to 
the specific CLI command in 

Command explanations

 

on page iv of the Appendix.
You may make changes to several pages before
going to the Restart page and restarting the
FibreBridge to save the changes.
