2 Managing the iPBridge
Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified for your needs using CLI commands or ATTO ExpressNAV.
ATTO iPBridge Services configures and tunes the iPBridge for many different environments and applications, updates the firmware, configures the addresses of the connected SCSI devices, monitors status and reports on hardware.
Communicate with the ATTO iPBridge through the GbE management port using ATTO ExpressNAV or Telnet or through the serial port using standard terminal emulation software.

Any changes must be saved and will not take effect until the ATTO iPBridge is restarted.
Some completed configuration commands do not take effect until you have issued the saveConfiguration command. When this is the case, the Ready prompt will be followed by asterisk. You can issue the saveConfiguration command after each such configuration command or wait until you have entered all the parameters you wish to change.
