Configure the ATTO FibreBridge for a network over the Ethernet port
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port provides Telnet-
based monitoring and management. The default
IP address is 10.0.0.1; the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. You don't need to do anything
more if you want to use the default, but these
parameters can be changed using the RS-232 port
or Telnet. The ATTO FibreBridge should first be
configured for the network using the RS-232 port
to establish the correct IP address.
To set up the IP Address using the RS-232 port

cable connecting directly to a computer. The
ATTO FibreBridge will auto detect the
Ethernet speed if configured to do so.
2
Access using any standard Telnet program.
To connect via Telnet:
1
Supply the IP address to the Telnet program.
The local echo should be set to on if the
Telnet software supports it. Use Vt100 for
