The ATTO iPBridge 1500E is a 1-Gigabit Ethernet to SCSI embeddable bridge for midrange
performance, cost effective solutions in SMB/SME environments.
The iPBridge 1500E includes a single Ethernet
port which may be used for either data transfer or
configuration, a serial management port and a
SCSI port.

SCSI port
The SCSI port on the iPBridge 1500E connects
storage devices into the Storage Area Network
(SAN). The port is an Ultra 3 LVD/SE SCSI bus
with 68-pin "P" interface: 160 MB/sec. maximum
throughput, downward compatible with all forms
of single-ended SCSI.

ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual
1.1 ATTO iPBridge 1500E
The iPBridge supports SCSI devices including
hard disk drives, tape drives RAID controllers,
DVD, MO and CD libraries.
Ethernet port
The 10/100/1000 GbE RJ45 Ethernet port uses the
Intel 8254x family gigabit Ethernet to support
Telnet-based data transfer and management
through a an ASCII-based command line
interface or ATTO ExpressNAV, a browser-based
interface.
GbE cables must be at least CAT-5E certified for
1000 Mb/sec. use.
Serial port
The RS-232 serial port provides support for
remote monitoring and management through a
command line interface. It is set at the factory at
115,200 bps.
