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 System Manager.
Note
The recommended method for updating
firmware for the FibreBridge is the Firmware
Update page in the ATTO ExpressNAV
interface.
The FibreBridge firmware is distributed as a .zbd file
from the ATTO Technology web site at
www.attotech.com.
Download the file and note the
filename.
Note
There is always a backup image in the
FibreBridge, in case the flashing process fails.
After updating the firmware, verify the correct
program version is executing by viewing the
status page and checking the firmware
revision number.
