Cascade ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and straight through CAT5 cables to
connect chassis, but use Viavi proprietary protocol to communicate between cascaded
units.
USB Ports
Standard USB type A connector may be used with any USB 2.0 device. This includes the
USB system recovery drive for second generation Xgig1000 chassis.
3.0 USB type A connectors may be used with any USB 3.0 device.
3.0 USB type B connector may be used with an external host as a Management port or for
USB administration.
Clock Ports
The Clock Out port provides a means of using the clock out signal to measure the eye
diagram of the output signal from the Analyzer. The Clock Out port accepts a SMA-type
cable.
The Clock In port functionality is TBD. This port is reserved for future use.
Port Connectors
The Xgig1000 has eight female SFP connectors and two QSFP connectors on the front.
Front Panel Reset Button
To safely shutdown the operating system and power off the chassis, press and hold the
Front Panel Reset
button for two seconds until the System LED starts blinking yellow.
Stop pressing the button as soon as you see the System LED blink. This will allow the
system to do a graceful shutdown.
•
For Xgig 1000 units with the original motherboard
(no rear power switch on the
back panel), the System LED will become steady yellow when the system has shut-
down. This is the indication that you can remove the power cable.
•
For Xgig 1000 units with the new motherboard
(rear power switch on back panel),
all LEDs will go dark and the motherboard will show no power when the system has
completed the shutdown. At this point the power to both the protocol board and the
motherboard has been removed. The only power going into the chassis at that point
is into the Power Supply. This is the indication that you can switch the power switch
to the off position.
NOTE
A USB driver is installed as part of the installation package. If you choose to connect the
chassis using a USB extension cable, you may be prompted to re-install the USB driver.
