3. Connect to the chassis
A Xena tester chassis have two RJ-45 interfaces for managing the unit. The Mgmt port (left-most on
ValkyrieCompact, top-most at ValkyrieBay) has a configurable static IP address, for connecting to the
tester from a laptop or stationary PC, at a local or remote location.
The chassis comes pre-configured with the following IP address on the Mgmt port:
Address = 192.168.1.200
Subnet = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = 192.168.1.1
You need a point-to-point connection from your PC to configure the chassis for the proper IP address,
subnet, and gateway. Make sure your PC port is configured statically to an IP address in the
192.168.1.x range.
•
For XFP, SFP and SFP+ modules, insert the required transceivers into their test-port cages. And
remember to always use the small plugs to prevent dust entering optical transceivers when no
cable is attached.
•
Connect the power cable and the chassis should start to power up automatically. (If not, press the
power button on the front panel.) The chassis takes 2-3 minutes to start up. When the chassis is
running, the front-panel LEDs on the test modules start flashing. They stop flashing when the first
connection is made.
•
Connect the “Mgmt” Ethernet port on the chassis front panel to the port on your PC running a recent
(XP or newer) version of Windows. (Remember the port on your PC must be configured statically to
an IP address in the 192.168.1.x range.)
•
Launch ValkyrieManager. Once this application has started you should click the
Add Chassis
button
on the toolbar at the top.
•
In the dialog box enter Chassis Address = “192.168.1.200” and Chassis Password = “xena”, and click
“Ok”.
•
Once you are connected to the chassis you can select the chassis and view its properties in the
Resource Properties panel, as indicated in the screenshot below.
In the event of technical issues, please report the chassis or test module serial and version numbers
listed here on the Properties panel.
