CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURATION

This section covers configuration of the iPATH Suite for administrators. For details about the regular user interface, please see the
Operation section.

4.1 SUPPORTED BROWSERS

The iPATH admin interface requires an A-grade browser with Javascript enabled.
For best results always use the latest version of any browser used.
• Google Chrome
• Firefox
• Edge*
• Safari for Mac OS*
* The most intensive testing has been carried out using Chrome and Firefox. MS Edge and Safari are known to work but testing
with these browsers has been limited by comparison.

4.2 LOGIN FOR ADMIN USERS

1 Ensure that the iPATH server is powered on (allow 3 minutes before accessing).
2 Using a computer located anywhere within the local network open a web browser (see Supported browsers list opposite) and
enter the default IP address for the iPATH server: 169.254.1.3
The Login page will be displayed:

3 Enter your Username and Password and click the Login button.
The default username is admin and the default password is password.
You are strongly recommended to change the default admin password as one of your first actions: Go to Dashboard>Users.
Click on the furthest right icon in the admin row (configure users) and change the password for the admin user.
If you check the Remember Me box, a cookie will be stored on the computer, allowing you to access the admin section without
having to log in each time. The cookie will survive for up to the iPATH Admin Timeout period. If you do not check the Remember
Me box, you will remain logged in only for the duration of your browser session.
