3.2 Installing the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R
The ATTO FibreCenter 3400R fits into a standard rack mount module enclosure such as the ATTO
FibreChannel Rack System. While configuration changes can be made “on the fly,” data transmission
will be interrupted. To make changes without impacting data, make changes before activating the data
transmission.
To install the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R into
the ATTO Fibre Channel Rack System:
1 Slide the hub module horizontally into the
rack enclosure until you feel it make contact
with the backplane connector. The face of
the hub module should be flush against the
rack enclosure’s edge.
2 Secure the hub module by tightening the
two thumbscrews (hand tight).
3 Apply power to the rack enclosure.
•The ATTO FibreCenter takes about 40
seconds to begin operation after power-up
or execution of the
Reset
command. All
ports are disabled during this 40 seconds.
•When the FibreCenter begins operation, it
will use its default configuration or the last
mapping designated by the
Set Zone
and
Commit Zone
commands.
•The power LEDs will illuminate
immediately.
•All FibreCenter port LEDs will blink one at
a time, from left to right, then all will blink
twice to indicate they are functional.
•The FibreCenter is now active.
4 Connect to the management port via a
standard RJ45 Ethernet cable. It may take
up to 40 seconds for the hub to initiate the
Ethernet connection.
5 Connect Fibre Channel devices to the ATTO
FibreCenter using SFPs and standard
cables manufactured for Fibre Channel use.
•Be aware of the cable limitations as listed
in the chart on the next page.
•The Online LED illuminates for each port
with a connected cable if the connected
device is powered up and online.
6 Connect a host computer to the
FibreCenter.
•Use a standard Ethernet cable when
connecting to a network device. The IP
address of the network must be different
from the default FibreCenter 3400R/D
address, 192.168.1.1
•Use a crossover Ethernet cable if you are
making a direct connect to the FibreCenter.
7 Change the IP address of the host computer
to 192.168.1.X (where X does not equal 1).
8 Launch Hyperterminal.
9 From the menu bar at the top, select
File -
New Connection
10 Enter a name for the connection.
11 Select
TCP/IP
as the connection method.
12 Enter the IP address of the FibreCenter
(default is 192.168.1.1)
13 Enter
zonedhub
(the factory default login))
when prompted for the login.
14 Enter
zonedhub
(the factory default
password) when prompted for the
password. (Make sure local
echo
is off
before entering a secure password).
15 You should now be connected. Type
help
for
a list of commands. Enter the CLI
commands required to set up your system if
different from previously set configurations
or defaults.
