Chapter 8, Getting Started with Xgig Performance Monitor

Launching Xgig Performance Monitor

Secure Login for All Xgig Chassis

All Xgig chassis may be password protected to prevent access by unauthorized users. Password
protection is set through the Xgig Web Utility for each chassis. If the chassis you are attempting to
access is password protected, you are required to provide the password. The following login
screen will appear. Enter the password to continue; the account name is always Administrator.
Figure 68: Xgig Analyzer Login
Login is only required once from any of the Xgig Analyzer applications or Xgig Maestro running
on the same Xgig Analyzer PC client machine. For example, if you login through TraceControl,
you will not be asked for the password again when you access the same chassis sync group
through Xgig Performance Monitor. To make sure you are completely logged off from all chassis,
you must close all Xgig applications.
For login, the settings of a master chassis in a sync group prevail for all chassis in the sync group.
If the master has authentication turned off and a slave(s) has authentication turned on, then the
sync group as a whole has authentication turned off. The settings for the master chassis also
prevail for the password; the password of the master chassis will be the password for any slave
chassis in the same Sync Group. See
Family Hardware Guide, the Xgig5000 Family Hardware Guide, or the Xgig1000 Hardware
Guide for more information on master, slaves, and sync groups.
