4.2 General panel

The general panel provides some basic information about the FibreBridge. A message box at the bottom

of the panel displays useful hints and suggestions. Clicking on the help icon will give a detailed

explanation of each parameter, the possible values to enter and ho w the F ibr eBridge will r espond t o each

selection. Some parameters will be “grayed out” if they do not apply to your mod el of the FibreBridge

or if they have no effect based upon the selected value of a related parameter.

Blink Ready LED (default = disabled)
Enabling this option causes the Ready LED on the front
panel of the FibreBridge to blink until you disable the
parameter. Helps to identify the particular FibreBridge you
are connected to in the SAN.
FibreBridge Name
An eight-character name assigned by the user to identify
each FibreBridge on the network to help identify and select
a specific FibreBridge.
FibreBridge Type
Read only: reports the type of FibreBridge in use.
Minimum Alarm Temperature
Sets and displays the enclosure temperature minimum
threshold value. An alarm will trigger if the enclosure
temperature drops below this value. Valid entries are
between 5 and 40 degrees C and must be below the
Maximum Alarm Temperature value.

World Wide Name (WWN)
Read only: provides a guaranteed unique identifier for each
Fibre Channel port on the network. This information can be
used to persistently bind the port to a host target ID.
Some options will be “grayed out” on the panel: they are not available because of the type of access mode or FibreBridge model or they have no effect based on other
selections. The chart below shows options available based on model and access method.
