Alternative methods to the ATTO ExpressNAV System Manager interface may be used to manage the
FibreBridge. However, ExpressNAV is the recommended user interface.
Using ExpressNAV System Manager
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 FibreBridge. It is a web-based graphical
user interface (GUI) that allows you to manage the
FibreBridge 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
FibreBridge. Refer to
Management Port
on page 4.

The ExpressNAV interface welcome screen is
displayed. Click Enter here.

Enter the user name and password values.
Note
The default values are user name: root and
password: Password. The user name is case

page 6.
