5 Setting up the ATTO FibreCenter

The ATTO FibreCenter 3400 fits into a standard rack mount module enclosure. While configuration changes can be made “on the fly,” data transmission will be interrupted. To make changes without impacting data, make changes before activating data transmission.

Installing the FibreCenter

1Slide the hub module horizontally into the rack enclosure until you feel it make contact with the backplane connector. The face of the hub module should be flush against the rack enclosure’s edge.

2Secure the hub module by tightening the two thumbscrews (hand tight).

3Apply power to the rack enclosure.

•The ATTO FibreCenter takes about 40 seconds to begin operation after power-up or execution of the Reset command. All ports are disabled during this 40 seconds.

•When the FibreCenter begins operation, it will use its default configuration or the last mapping designated by the Setup and Switch commands.

•The power LEDs will illuminate immediately.

•All FibreCenter port LEDs will blink one at a time, from left to right, then all will blink twice to indicate they are functional.

•The FibreCenter is now active.

4Connect to the management port via a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable. It may take up to 40 seconds for the hub to initiate the Ethernet connection.

5Connect Fibre Channel devices to the ATTO FibreCenter using SFPs and standard cables manufactured for Fibre Channel use.

•Cable limitations are listed in the chart on the next page.

•The Online LED illuminates for each port with a connected cable if the connected device is powered up and online.

6Connect a host computer to the FibreCenter. The default IP address of the hub is 192.168.1.1. Unless your network is running under 192.168.1.X, you will need to use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect.

7Change the IP address of the host computer to 192.168.1.X (where X does not equal 1).

8Launch Hyperterminal.

9From the menu bar at the top, select File - New Connection

10Enter a name for the connection.

11Select TCP/IP (Winsock) as the connection method.

12Enter the IP address of the FibreCenter.

13Enter zonedhub when prompted for the login.

14When prompted for a password, type in your password. Default is zonedhub.

15You should now be connected. Type help for a list of commands. Enter the CLI commands required to set up your system if different from previously set configurations or defaults.

To change the password

1To change the password you must be logged in as root.

2The default password for root is root and should be changed as soon as possible.

3If you are changing the root password, at the bash# prompt, type passwd root. If you are

changing the zonedhub password, type passwd zonedhub at the bash prompt.

4You will be prompted for a new password.

5You will be prompted to retype the new password.

Change in password is effective immediately.
