Cabling IPB ingress and egress ports is dictated by the specific features installed on the chassis
modules. Because installed features can vary per chassis module, it is very important to ensure
proper cabling. Contact Tektronix Communications for assistance in cabling the IPB network
ports.
IPB Egress ports must connect directly to G10 probes, TD140 load balancers, and SpIprobes (no router/
switch in between.)
Connect each device to its corresponding ingress or egress port on the IPB. For copper SFP ports, either
straight-through or crossover cables can be used since the IPB has Auto-MDI/X. The corresponding link
status LEDs should turn on when the cable is plugged in.

G10 probes (G), TD140s (T), and IPBs (I) appear in the Probe Tab. You can perform the following
procedures:
