3.1 Mapping devices After getting an IP address and entering ATTO ExpressNAV, you must map devices so that the FibreBridge can access the devices in your network. The ATTO FibreBridge allows parallel SCSI devices to participate in a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or on a fabric. Fibre Channel and parallel SCSI use different models to address devices. The FibreBridge translates between these addressing models.
Use ExpressNAV for mapping devices Use the ExpressNAV interface to map devices automatically or to customize mapping. You may modify the mapping as needed to make a device inaccessible to a host or to replace a nonfunctioning mapped unit. All the CLI commands necessary to enable mapping and the command saveconfiguration norestart are performed. Map devices manually. 1 From the ExpressNAV main menu, click on the Mapping menu item on the left side of the screen. 2 The Mapping page appears.
3.2 Optional changes to system configurations Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified for your needs using ATTO ExpressNAV. It is best practice to change the default user name and password to a user name and password significant to you. Change current user name, password 1 If you have not already, open an ExpressNAV session. For instructions, refer to Open an ExpressNAV session on page 27. 2 Click Bridge. The Bridge Configuration page is displayed.

4.0 Remote monitoring, management The Ethernet port provides monitoring and management using the ExpressNAV interface. Remote system monitoring may be set up through Remote Management page of the ExpressNAV interface (see Exhibit 4.0-1) using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or Email. Various types of problems may invoke a notification: You may designate which warning level a recipient receives.
SNMP-based monitoring The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. An agent resides in the FibreBridge which takes information from the FibreBridge and translates it into a form compatible with SNMP. If certain conditions arise, the agent sends asynchronous notifications (traps) to a client. 1 2 3 If you have not already, open an ExpressNAV session. For instructions, refer to Open an ExpressNAV session on page 27.

5.0 Updating firmware The ATTO FibreBridge has several processors which control the flow of data. The firmware to control these processors can be upgraded in the field using the PUT command from an FTP connection, or ZModem utility over an RS-232 serial connection. The preferred method is to use ATTO ExpressNAV. Note The recommended management tool for updating firmware for the FibreBridge is the ATTO ExpressNAV interface. Use the Update Firmware page.
7 In the Send File box, enter the current FibreBridge .ima file or click the browse button to find it 8 Click Send File 9 The FibreBridge should acknowledge receiving the file and display a message not to interrupt power for 90 seconds. CAUTION Do not interrupt the flash process. Do not power down the host or the FibreBridge until the display returns the Ready prompt. Interrupting the flash process will make your FibreBridge inoperable and you will have to return it to ATTO Technology for repair.
6.0 ATTO ExpressNAV interface ExpressNAV is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to manage the FibreBridge by clicking choices and commands in traditional GUI fashion or by entering CLI commands directly as you would in a terminal emulation session. Access ATTO ExpressNAV from any web browser that supports the latest standards for XHTML 1.0 and CSS1.
