ATTO Technology FibreBridge 3300R Installation and Operation Manual
7 Using ATTO FibreBridge Services
Configuration of the ATTO FibreBridge, also known as FibreBridge Services,
,
is available via ATTO
BridgeTools (a graphical user interface configuration manager), Command Line Interface (CLI) or a
menu.
FibreBridge Services includes displaying and
modifying various attributes of FibreBridge
operation, as well as the update of firmware. You
may use a graphical interface (BridgeTools), command line interface (CLI) or menu system,
depending on your FibreBridge model, what you
want to accomplish, and the method you are using
to access FibreBridge services.
ATTO BridgeTools
The simplest way to communicate with the bridge
is to use BridgeTools, a Java-based graphical
interface configuration utility designed to flash
firmware and manage the configuration for all
models of the FibreBridge.
The ATTO BridgeTools program currently
supports Sun Solaris 8, MAC OS 10.1, Linux and
Windows 95/98/ME, NT and 2000.
BridgeTools detects which FibreBridge model is
available and presents you with the applicable
configuration options. At the startup, a screen will
present choices to communicate with the
FibreBridge. You can choose between an in-band
connection direct over the Fibre Channel link, an
RS-232 port or an Ethernet port.
A tabbed panel interface presents configuration
parameters in a simple, one-window display.
Message boxes, icons, drop-down boxes, menu
bars and other common graphical constructs lead
you through the configuration process.
Refer to the ATTO BridgeTools Manual for
complete instructions to how to install and operate
the program.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Command Line Interface provides access to
FibreBridge Services through ASCII command
lines. CLI is designed to be used by applications
such as BridgeTools and “power users.” The
initial display, after powering up the unit or
restarting the firmware, will contain the information in Exhibit 7-1. Once the initial
display is complete, with the word Ready, you are
in the Command Line Interface mode.
Type Help to display a list of all commands
available.
Menu mode
The Menu contains most commands available
through CLI but in a hierarchal format. It follows
a standard menu/choice model.
The initial display, after powering up the unit or
restarting the firmware, will contain the
information in Exhibit 7-1. Once the initial
display is complete, with the word Ready, you are
in the Command Line Interface mode.
Type Menu and you will enter the menu system.
