can support F_Ports or FL_Ports and automatically configure itself. ATTO Technology recommends that
this mode of operation not be used. It is better to force the port to the desired mode.
When connecting the bridge to a F_Port device, set the port connection mode to “Point-to-Point.” When
connecting to a FL_Port device, set the port connection mode to “Loop”. The port connection mode of the
bridge can be set using the RS-232, Ethernet, or in-band ATTO BridgeTools communication links.
