ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual
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 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
1 Know the IP address for the iPBridge. (Refer to
Getting an IP address on page 10).
2 Map devices so that the iPBridge can access
the devices in your network. (Refer to
Mapping
devices: NDMP on page 13 and Mapping
devices: iSCSI on page 15).
Additionally, it is best practice to change the
default user name and password and to set the
Real Time Clock. Refer to
Additional
configurations on page 19
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 21.
