Setting Up the Hardware
Connecting a Chassis to the Controller PC
After setting up the module, you can connect the chassis to the Controller
PC. For this, you can refer to the following arrangements, as applicable:
• No LAN interface available : In this situation, you can use the USB
network adapter to connect the Controller PC to the master chassis.
The advantage of this arrangement is that you can set up a test
environment easily at different places. For example, you can use a
mobile instrument, such as laptop, as Controller PC and connect it
directly to the chassis.
• Single LAN interface available : In this situation, you can:
• Connect the chassis to the Controller PC through the private LAN.
• Use the USB network adapter, which comes with OBSAI Protocol
Tester, as a second LAN interface.
The advantage of this arrangement is that you can access the Controller
PC from anywhere within the corporate LAN. For example, multiple
Client PCs can access the Controller PC through the corporate LAN.
To connect the master chassis to the Controller PC
• Connect the MDI- X port of the chassis to the Controller PC using the
standard LAN cable.
• Or, connect the MDI- X port of the chassis to the USB network adapter
using the standard LAN cable.
