Launching Xgig TraceControl
Figure 4: 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 Xgig chassis sync group
through Xgig Performance Monitor. To make sure you are completely logged off from all Xgig
chassis, you must close all Xgig applications.
For login, the settings of a master Xgig 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 Xgig chassis
also prevail for the password; the password of the master Xgig chassis will be the password of any
attached slave. See
Guide, the Xgig5000 Family Hardware Guide, or the Xgig1000 Hardware Guide for more
information on master, slaves, and sync groups.

Port Status View

The TraceControl main window displays a status of all ports for the current domain. If no domain
has been created the window is blank.
When you first open Xgig TraceControl, no domains have been created, so no domains are shown.
When you open Xgig TraceControl after creating a domain, the last used domain is selected. To
create a domain, press the
menu.
At the top of the
state of your connection to the domain, any warnings about the status update being stopped, and
the capture duration.
The Port Name column lists the name of all ports and chassis within the domain. The domain is
displayed in a tree structure with the domain as the root of the tree. Ports are listed within chassis.
Ports are shown in the order of their physical presence in the Xgig chassis.
The software LEDs (B/W and F/P) only update while the ports are connected in TraceControl. If
you disconnect and then reconnect to a domain, the port LEDs will be reset.
