Click the
Port Selection and Domain Setup
button to open the window where you
locate and set up the chassis and ports that you want to use as Xgig BERTs, Xgig
Jammers, Xgig Generators, Xgig Target Emulator, Xgig Load Tester, and Xgig Delay
Emulator.

In the Address text field at the top of the Port Selection and Domain Setup window,
enter the name or IP Address of the chassis you want to use. Or click on the down
arrow at the right end of this field to open a drop-down list of recent entries.

Click
Discover
.
If the application can discover the chassis, it displays the chassis in the Sync
Group(s) pane on the left side of the Port Setup window. The application displays the
entire Sync Group to which that chassis belongs. In addition, all Sync Groups found
in that same subnet of your network are discovered.
