The default user name is Figure 7: Password Dialog Box Note: HP recommends changing the user name and password from the defaults. Note: To end the current session of VM, the browser window must be closed. Navigating the browser to another URL does not end the current session.
Except for the user name, password, and override access, fields are not case sensitive. HP recommends that you not bookmark VM pages with the Web browser. Because configuration information is transmitted via URLs, it is possible that the router could be configured with information present at the time a page was bookmarked.
The Main Menu home page is displayed whenever VM is accessed. The home page contains status information, including a physical image of the router. Figure 8 is an example of the home page. Figure 8: Visual Manager Home page Network Storage Router e1200-160 Visual Manager User Interface...
