ATTO Technology Inc. Diamond Storage Array Installation and Operation Manual
5.4 ATTO ExpressNAV: Browser-based Interface
The easiest way to communicate with the Diamond Storage Array is to use ATTO ExpressNAV, a user-
friendly GUI interface accessed through a browser to control the most common capabilities of the array.
Access ATTO ExpressNAV from any browser
that supports the latest standards for XHTML 1.0
and CSS1. To take full advantage of the
ExpressNAV interface you should have Java
script enabled through your browser.
Browser compatibility
All pages are written in pure XHTML 1.0 and
CSS1 to be compatible with the latest versions of
Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla (including
K-Meleon, Camino, Mozilla Firefox, Epiphany
and Galeon), and KHTML (including Konqueror
and Safari).
Minimum requirement is for Internet Explorer 5.5
and Netscape 6.2.
To optimize ExpressNAV in Internet Explorer
1 Go to the browser toolbar and click on Tools
2Click on Internet Options
3 Click on the Security tab
4 Click on the Custom Level button.
5Click on Microsoft VM, Java permissions
6 Ensure Disable Java is not selected.
7 Click on the Miscellaneous tab.
8Click on Metarefresh
Opening an ExpressNAV session
1 Obtain the IP address of the array.
2 Type the IP address of the array into the
browser address window.
3 The ExpressNAV interface splash screen is
displayed. Click on Enter.
4 Enter the username and password set
previously in
ATTO ExpressNAV: Browser-based
Interface
on page 25.

Navigating ExpressNAV
All pages are accessible by clicking on their titles
on the left side of the page. You may also go back
one page or go to the
