ATTO Technology FibreBridge 4500 Installation and Operation Manual
4 Accessing ATTO FibreBridge Services
Communicate with the ATTO FibreBridge through the RS-232 serial port, the Fibre Channel port or the
Ethernet port using ATTO BridgeTools, Command Line Interface or a menu.
ATTO FibreBridge Services configure and tune
the bridge for many different environments and
applications, update the firmware, configure the
addresses of the connected SCSI devices, monitor
internal power and temperature status, report on
hardware diagnostics and log failures.
Three avenues are available:
➔
In-band SCSI over Fibre Channel
➔
RS-232 port
➔
Telnet over Ethernet
The next chapters of this manual provide details
on using the Command Line Interface and menu
system to access FibreBridge Services. Refer to
the ATTO BridgeTools manual for complete
instructions on how to use the program.
CAUTION Any changes must be saved and will not take
effect until the ATTO FibreBridge is restarted.
Access the ATTO FibreBridge through in-band SCSI over Fibre Channel
One way to access the ATTO FibreBridge through
in-band SCSI over Fibre Channel is to use ATTO
BridgeTools, a Java-based graphical interface
configuration utility, to flash firmware and
manage configuration for many FibreBridge
models. The ATTO BridgeTools program
currently supports Sun Solaris™ 8, MAC
®
OS
10.1 and Windows
®
95/98/ME, NT and 2000.
Refer to the ATTO BridgeTools Installation and
Operation Manual for complete instructions to
how to install and operate the program.
In-band SCSI commands (Write Buffer and Read
Buffer) may be issued to the FibreBridge to
manage configuration via two mechanisms:
➔
In-band CLI over SCSI, where ASCII CLI
(services) commands, may be issued via
Write Buffer . All CLI commands except
Menu are supported. Refer to Chapter 4.4.
➔
Buffer ID/value, where the application
program uses a SCSI CDB (command
descriptor block) to select the buffer ID of
the configuration parameters to be
affected, and the new value of the
parameter. Most FibreBridge configuration
options are available.
Access the ATTO FibreBridge over the RS-232 port
The ATTO FibreBridge supports remote
service operations over the RS-232 serial port
using standard terminal emulation software
available with most systems.
1 Connect a DB-9 crossover serial cable (null
modem) between the ATTO FibreBridge
serial port and one of the computer’s serial
COM ports. A gender changer or DB-9 to
DB-25 converter may be needed depending
on the cables being used.
2 Enable the computer’s serial port and
initiate a terminal emulation link.
3 Set the following serial parameters in your
terminal program: Bits per second: 9600,
Data Bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bits: 1, Flow
Control: None. Use ASCII as the terminal
type. Echo should be on.
4 You may use a graphical interface (ATTO
BridgeTools), command line interface (CLI)
or menu system as explained in the rest of
this manual.
Configure the ATTO FibreBridge for a network over the Ethernet port
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port provides Telnet-
based monitoring and management. If DHCP is turned off (the default), the default IP address is
10.0.0.1; the default subnet mask is
