All software required to run the Xgig1000 chassis comes pre-installed. All software required to run the Xgig1000 chassis comes pre-installed. Update of Xgig1000 chassis software is required with new releases.
Network Address Translation (NAT) cannot be accessed from Xgig clients outside the firewall. For Windows users, ICMPv4 ‘Allow incoming echo request’ (used for Ping) is disabled by default. To use the Xgig Web Utility to upgrade an Xgig1000 chassis, this option must be enabled. March 2017...
Chapter 2 Xgig1000 System Setup Setup Instructions Setup Instructions To prepare the Xgig1000 chassis for use, follow one of the three paths below depending on your environment: NOTE The Xgig1000 chassis comes ready-to-use in a DHCP-configured network. This is the easiest way to setup the Xgig1000 chassis.
Xgig1000 chassis as well as the IP address. If you have a DNS name server, assign a name to the Xgig1000 chassis so users can easily locate the system. The default name for the Xgig1000 chassis is “XGIG1K” followed by the eight-digit serial number, for example, XGIG1K78256743.

“System Upgrades” on page 121 instructions on upgrading the system software. The following steps instruct you on how to set up the Xgig1000 chassis to be controlled from a host computer using a USB cable connected directly to the chassis.
Once single Xgig1000 chassis are set up for operation, it is possible to cascade several chassis together using CAT-5 straight-through cables and the Cascade ports on the Xgig1000 chassis. Up to four chassis can be cascaded together to form a Sync Group. You can cascade Xgig1000 chassis together with Xgig chassis.
Page 112
Chapter 2 Xgig1000 System Setup Cascading Xgig1000 chassis Note that there is no connection to the Cascade In port of the master Xgig1000 chassis. Do not connect the Cascade Out port on the last Xgig in the cascade to the Cascade In port of the master in a “loop”.
Chapter 2 Xgig1000 System Setup Sync Discovery Process Sync Discovery Process The Xgig chassis can be cascaded together to form a Sync Group. A Sync Discovery process is run to establish the Sync Group topology. When Sync Discovery starts, all connections to the Sync Group will be severed.
Sync Discovery may take several minutes. When the Xgig1000 chassis has finished booting and Sync Discovery has completed, the Cascade ports stop blinking and turn solid green if there are cascaded chassis.
Xgig1000 Chassis Shutdown Sequence Xgig1000 Chassis Shutdown Sequence The following are the proper shutdown sequences for the Xgig1000 chassis. NOTE The LED behavior at shutdown is different between the two generations of the Xgig1000 chassis (see “Xgig1000 Systems” on page •...

Analog Passthrough Adapters Analog Passthrough Adapters Analog Passthrough Adapters for SFP Connectors Xgig1000 chassis with 25 Gbps and 32 Gbps SFP ports are shipped with the appropriate number of analog passthrough (APT) adapters (Figure 28}. This adapter acts as a passthrough tap for both optical and electrical (copper) links.
For optical links, insert the optical QSFP transceivers into the QAPT connectors. These QSPF transceivers are specialized and are available by ordering the QSFP K-Kit from Viavi. Each K-kit includes two optical QSFP transceivers and two optical cables. You need to order Viavi part number 22110920 (which has the following description: XGIG1K-10002- MM;100GE/128G FC QSFP28 K-Kit Includes SFP28 and MM Cables).
For the 8-port and 10-port chassis, use SFP ports 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8. – For the 10-port chassis, use the two QSFP ports. Figure 31 Ports on Xgig1000 25G/32G & Xgig1000 25G/32G/50G/100G/128G Chassis Page 140 Xgig1000 Hardware Guide March 2017...
