Controlling the Chassis using a USB Connection

As a alternative to controlling the chassis using an Ethernet connection, Xgig Analyzer supports
controlling the chassis by connecting the computer to a chassis using a USB cable.
Note: This feature is currently only supported for use by the Xgig Analyzer software.
Xgig Maestro software products do not currently support this feature.
Note: To control the chassis using a USB connection, you must upgrade the chassis software
to the most recent software version. Refer to
instructions on upgrading the software.
Using a USB cable (Type A to Type B connectors), connect the host computer to the Xgig chassis
front panel USB connector. Attach the cable's Type A connector to the computer; attach the
cable's Type B connector to the chassis.
With Xgig Analyzer started and a USB cable connected from the computer running Xgig Analyzer
to the chassis, once the Analyzer client detects a chassis connect to the USB port, a switch is
displayed in the Select Ports for Domain Creation window as shown in Figure 11. Select this
switch to turn the USB connection on.
