6 Alternative interface options

Alternative methods to using the ATTO ExpressNAV interface may be used to manage the iPBridge. ATTO ExpressNAV is the recommended interface.

Use the serial port or header

1Connect a cable from iPBridge RS-232 serial port or header to the serial (COM) port on a personal computer.

2Turn on the iPBridge.

3Start a terminal emulation program on the personal computer, and use it to connect to the iPBridge. For example, if you are using HyperTerminal on a computer running a Windows operating system,

a.Type iPBridge in the New Connection dialog box.

b.Click OK.

c.In the Connect To dialog box, for the Connect using field select the COM port number to which your serial cable is connected.

d.Click OK.

e.In the COM Properties dialog box select the following values:

•Bits per second: 115200

•Data Bits: 8

•Parity: None

•Stop Bits: 1

•Flow Control: None

•Terminal type: ASCII

•Echo: off

f.Click OK.

4After you connect to the iPBridge, start-up messages are displayed. These messages are only displayed at start-up. The last line in the start-up message sequence is Ready. See the example in Exhibit 5 on page 31.

Note

In serial port sessions, there is no prompt on the line below the word Ready. Begin typing commands in the blank line where the cursor is resting. No username or password is required for serial port access.

5To verify that you have connected successfully, type help after the Ready prompt and press

Enter.

•If a list of all available commands does not appear on the screen, review the steps in this section, check the cable, or contact service personnel until the problem is solved.

If you have difficulty using the serial port, verify that you have the correct settings and that your serial cable is less then two meters in length.

Use Telnet

Up to three Telnet sessions can be conducted simultaneously. A serial port session can use the CLI while Telnet sessions are open. Whichever session issues the first “set” CLI command can continue to issue set commands, while the other sessions can only issue “get” commands or display information. Once a connection is established, refer to CLI provides ASCII-based interface on page 33.

1Connect to the iPBridge from a computer on the same Ethernet network.

2Start a Telnet session.

Note

There is more than one way to connect to the iPBridge using a telnet program.Your telnet program may operate differently than in the following instructions.

3At the telnet prompt, issue the open command where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the iPBridge.

telnet > open x.x.x.x

4If you have to specify a port type, enter the port type “telnet” and the terminal type “vt100”.

port type: telnet

terminal type: vt100

5Enter the default values for the username, “root”, and the password, “Password”, if you did not set new values in Set the Real Time Clock on page 17.
