N1200-320 4Gb Network Storage Router user and service guide 31
5 Visual manager user interface
The HP N1200-320 4Gb Network Storage Router allows any standard Internet Web browser to view
and change the network storage router’s configuration with the Visual Manager interface. Information is
dynamically generated in an HTML format by the network storage router so that Web browsers can
access it.
To access Visual Manager, enter the IP address of the network storage router into the address field of a
Web browser. Or, enter a URL using a host name defined by the user—for instance,
http://HPN1200-3204Gb. (But the user must define the host name on the DNS server first, for this to
work).
To make changes to network storage router settings, use standard keyboard and mouse controls to input
information, and then select the Submit button to send the changes to the network storage router.
A user name and password are required before any changes can be submitted. The default user name is
root and the default password is password. HP recommends that you change the user name and
password as soon as possible (see ”User name and password” on page 38).
Other than dynamic mapping changes, any other changes will not take effect until the next time the
network storage router reboots. You can force the network storage router to reboot by selecting the
Reboot option.
NOTE: For the VM interface’s dynamic display of the network storage router configuration to be
presented properly, use version 6.2 or later of Netscape’s browser on non-Solaris platforms, or Netscape
version 6.2.3 for Solaris platforms. If using Internet Explorer, use revision 6.0 or later.

2. Obtain the IP address of the network storage router.
3. Enter the network storage router IP address in the address field of the Web browser of the host
computer.
NOTE: To access VM, the network storage router must be assigned a valid IP address. The factory default
setting for the IP address is DHCP.
NOTE: If you don’t know the IP address of the network storage router, connect to the network storage
router using the serial connection (see ”Setting up serial port communications” on page 18). You can view
and change the current settings from the serial interface’s Ethernet menu.
The Visual Manager home page is displayed, showing network storage router status information. The
home page is accessible to anyone who knows the network storage router IP address.
4. Select the desired menu option to access menus and screens.The Password dialog box is displayed.
See Figure 10 on page 32 for an example of the Password Dialog box.
