OptimaGateway Overview

The Gateway is the central management point for your OptimaGPT installation. All administration happens here, and it is the only component your users need to reach.

Logging in

Navigate to the Gateway's address in a browser. You will be presented with the login screen. Enter your username and password to continue.

The interface

After logging in, administrators are taken to the Nodes page — the Gateway's home screen. The navigation sidebar on the left provides access to all areas of the Gateway.
