# Finding Your Way Around

A quick tour of the AVADO Admin: the sidebar, the box details at the bottom, themes, Simple and Advanced mode, and search.

You manage your AVADO from the **AVADO Admin**, a web page that runs on the box itself. Open it in your browser at <http://my.ava.do> while you are connected to your AVADO (through its Wi-Fi, your home network or Remote Connect).

{% hint style="info" %}
Links to `ava.do` addresses on your box start with **`http://`**, not `https://`.
{% endhint %}

## The sidebar

The sidebar on the left takes you to every part of the Admin:

| Menu item          | What you do there                                                                             |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Home**           | See at a glance whether your AVADO is healthy, and fix what isn't.                            |
| **DappStore**      | Browse and install apps (clients, monitoring, tools).                                         |
| **My DApps**       | See, open, restart and manage the apps you installed.                                         |
| **Staking setup**  | Follow the steps a validator needs, in order.                                                 |
| **Remote Connect** | Set up secure access from anywhere. Shown once Remote Connect is installed.                   |
| **Priority**       | Subscribe to Priority Care, turn on alerts and manage your subscription.                      |
| **Help**           | Troubleshooting topics, a diagnostics report for support, and community links.                |
| **System**         | Updates, disk space, history and maintenance (reboot, shutdown). Only shown in Advanced mode. |

The page [The Home Page and Menus](/your-avado/finding-your-way-around/the-home-page-and-menus.md) walks through each of them.

## The box panel at the bottom of the sidebar

At the bottom of the sidebar is a small panel for your box:

* **Your box name** (for example "AVADO"). Click it to see the box details: **Box name**, **External IP**, **Internal IP** and **Node ID**. Click the box name in there to rename your AVADO. The name is only for display and does not change any network settings.
* **Theme:** choose **Light**, **Dark** or **Match computer** (follows your computer's or phone's setting).
* **Mode:** choose **Simple** or **Advanced**. See [Simple and Advanced mode](/your-avado/finding-your-way-around/simple-and-advanced-mode.md).
* **Version:** the version of the Admin you are running.

{% hint style="info" %}
**External IP** is your home network's address on the internet. **Internal IP** is the address your router gave your AVADO on your home network. You need the internal IP when you [open network ports](/quick-help/opening-network-ports.md) on your router. The **Node ID** identifies your AVADO, for example for Priority Care.

## Search or jump to (⌘K)

The **Search or jump to…** box at the top right finds anything in the Admin. Click it, or press **⌘K** on a Mac, **Ctrl+K** on Windows or Linux, or **/**. Then start typing. You can search for:

* **Pages**, such as Home, DappStore, Updates or Storage
* **Your apps**, to jump straight to an installed app
* **DappStore** apps you can install
* **Help** topics, such as "Missed attestations"
* **Actions**, such as downloading the diagnostics report, or (in Advanced mode) restarting an app
* **Settings**, such as switching theme or switching between Simple and Advanced mode

Use the arrow keys and **Enter** to choose, or **Esc** to close.

The bell icon next to the search box shows your notifications.

## On a phone

The Admin also works on a phone. The sidebar folds away behind the menu button (☰) at the top left, and the page stacks into one column.
