Connecting to the Navigator

The iCR for Go service is accessible using any industry standard browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. To begin working with iCR, you need to access your server via the browser. It is reached using your server’s IP address. In our examples we are using 3.237.77.219
as the public IP address. ICR uses port 3001
to reach the Navigator which is the application that will help you to manage your interactions with iCR for Go.
Access the Navigator by entering your Server IP address followed by port 3001
into your browser. Using our IP address as an example, this is the URL to enter:
https://3.237.77.219:3001
Entering this URL will attempt to connect your browser to the iCR server. Note that we are using the secure form of HTTP and so there needs to be a certificate for iCR in order to complete the secure connection. iCR uses a self-signed certificate to make it simpler to manage this. However, many browsers may not redirect you immediately to your iCR server. Rather they may prompt you that this URL may be at risk because of the self-signed certificate. Assuming that you trust iCR, simply use the advanced
(or equivalent) feature of the browser to manually permit access. This video shows an example of how that looks using the Chrome browser:
NOTE: You should only need to use this security bypass after the iCR server is started. After that, your browser will remember that this URL is safe. However, should you stop and restart your iCR server, you will need to repeat this step.
Once this permission is granted, it will take you to the welcome screen for iCR for Go:
You are presented with the Welcome window that prompts the User to enter their Username and password. Your iCR Administrator will have provided each user with their Username and default password. Enter both of those values to reach the iCR Navigator. It is strongly recommended that each User update their password from the default after logging in.
