Serial port
The RS-232 serial port provides support for
remote monitoring and management through a
command line interface, menu system or
graphical interface (ATTO Technology
BridgeTools).
Installation instructions
1
Physically place the FibreBridge on a desktop
or mount in a rack. To mount in a rack
a. Attach "L" brackets so that the front
side with the LEDs faces front and the
connector side is at the back.
b. Install the FibreBridge horizontally
within the rack so it does not reduce the
air flow within the rack.
c. Properly ground the FibreBridge to the
rack equipment. The earth ground
connection must be maintained.
The power requirements plus the power
draw of the other equipment in the rack
must not overload the supply circuit and/or
wiring of the rack.
