Tips
Pinging the Xgig1000 Chassis
To “ping” the Xgig1000 chassis, click on the Start menu, select Run, and type in CMD .
From the Command prompt, type the ping command with the IP address as the argument.
For example:
> ping 10.10.4.34
Naming the Xgig1000 Chassis
The default name for the Xgig1000 chassis is “XGIG1K” followed by the eight-digit serial
number; for example,
XGIG1K78234335 . The serial number is located on the bottom of
the Xgig1000 chassis.
When changing the name for the Xgig1000 chassis, make sure you choose a name not
used elsewhere in your network.
Using Wireless Connections
For operation of client applications, it is not recommended that wireless connections be
used as the type of Ethernet connection between the PC running Xgig client software and
the network. The software can require bursts of high bandwidth which can cause dropped
connections and performance degradation when using a wireless connection. However,
this is totally dependent on the capabilities and robustness of the wireless network; there
is nothing to prohibit the use of wireless connections with Xgig1000 chassis.
Network Bandwidth Considerations
High bandwidth demands during some Xgig operations may cause unacceptable loads on
the network. It may be necessary to configure instrument usage on a special subnet to
circumvent this problem. It is also possible to use a 1Gb/s dedicated link or switch for peak
performance.
