2 Configuring the iPBridge

Set up your iPBridge by first getting an IP address, then use ATTO ExpressNAV to map devices. Default values are appropriate for most other configurations, but may be modified for your needs using ATTO ExpressNAV.

Configuration of the ATTO iPBridge, also known as iPBridge Services, is available through the ATTO ExpressNAV, a browser-based interface, or the Command Line Interface (CLI).

ATTO iPBridge Services configures and tunes the iPBridge for many different environments and applications, updates the firmware, configures the addresses of the connected devices, monitors status and reports on hardware.

To use the iPBridge, you must

1Know the IP address for the iPBridge. (Refer to Getting an IP address on page 10).

2Map devices so that the iPBridge can access the devices in your network. (Refer to Target management on page 11).

Additionally, it is best practice to change the default username and password and to set the Real Time Clock. Refer to Additional configurations on page 17.

CAUTION

Any changes must be saved and will not take effect until the iPBridge is restarted.

Note

The recommended management tool for the iPBridge is ATTO ExpressNAV. For details on the interface, refer to ATTO ExpressNAV interface on page 19.
