ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual
7 Interface options
Alternative methods to the ATTO ExpressNAV interface may be used to manage the iPBridge. ATTO
ExpressNAV is the recommended interface.
Using ExpressNAV
Each page in the ATTO ExpressNAV interface
provides information and/or configuration parameters
based on a specific topic.
ATTO ExpressNAV is the recommended
management tool for the iPBridge. It is a web-based
graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to
manage the iPBridge by clicking choices and
commands in traditional GUI fashion or by entering
CLI commands directly, as you would in a terminal
emulation session, on the Advanced CLI page.
Opening an ExpressNAV session
1 Point your browser at the IP address of the
iPBridge. Refer to
Discovering the IP address
on page 7.
2 The ExpressNAV home page is displayed.
Click Enter.
3 Enter the user name and password values.
Note
The default values are user name: root and
password: Password. The user name is case
insensitive and password is case sensitive. It
is best practice to change user names and
passwords. Refer to Modify passwords on
page 15.
The Status page appears.
Each page can be reached through the menu at the side
of each page. An image on each page’s header shows
each port in the product faceplate. Each port is
clickable and takes you to the appropriate page.
If you have completed configuration operations at any
time and have clicked Submit on the page you are
viewing, go to the Restart page and restart the
iPBridge to save the settings.
If you have not completed configuration changes, go
on to the next command.
