Password Error Dialog
Using the Chassis Context Menu to Lock Ports
Once you have typed the password for the chassis and selected ports, right-click on one
of them to view the menu of available actions. Menu items that do not apply to all selected
items are disabled. Change your selection to have only valid items for the actions you
want.
Port pairs are indicated by horizontal black rectangles on the blade, and are grouped as
ports 1 and 2, and as ports 3 and 4. For more information about blade configuration and
port numbering, refer to the
Xgig Family Hardware Guide
on the product USB drive.
•
For BERT, Jammer, Generator, Target Emulator, or Delay Emulator you must select
both ports in each pair to attempt any of the actions listed below.
•
For Generator, you only need to select the odd-numbered port in the port pair to
perform the actions listed below.
Once you have selected the port(s) you want to lock, right-click one of the selected ports.
This displays a drop-down menu with the following options:
Reconnect to Port(s)
This action is available if the ports are not locked and are already configured as BERTs,
Jammers, Generators, Target emulators, Load Testers, or Delay Emulators. When you
select this action, it locks the ports and maintains the current configuration and state
(including running) of the ports. It also retains the simplex versus duplex Jammer/Delay
Emulator setting.
Use Port(s) as…
This action is available if the ports are not locked and are licensed as BERTs, Jammers,
Generators, Target Emulators, Load Testers, or Delay Emulators. When you select this
action, an additional menu appears that lets you choose the device (depending on avail-
able licenses) you want to use. A multi-function blade license allows you to switch the func-
tion from an Xgig Analyzer to an Xgig BERT, an Xgig Jammer, Xgig Generator, or an Xgig
Target Emulator (see Figure 11) running different protocols.
