Page: 63 / 90

Start a Windows Remote Desktop Connection
To start a Remote Desktop Connection session to the XGS2 system:
1.
If you do not know the IxOS IP address, ping the unit's host name.
The host name appears on the label on the back of the unit.
The ping command will return the IxOS IP address.
2.
From the management workstation, start a
Remote Desktop Connection
session with the IxOS virtual machine, using the IP address
that was returned by the ping command.
In the Windows Security window, provide the following credentials:
l
User name: ixia
l
Password: the last part of the host name. For example, if the host name is xxxx-X1234567, the password will be X1234567.
Once you click OK, Remote Desktop Connection establishes the connection and displays the IxOS virtual machine Windows desktop.
If you specify port 3391 in your Remote Desktop Connection session, you will connect to the BreakingPoint virtual machine rather than to
the IxOS virtual machine.
