Chassis Management

Connecting to a Chassis

Chassis definitions are contained in the overall test configuration. You can add a chassis by pressing the Add Chassis button in the main Edit ribbon menu. You will then see the following dialog window:

Add chassis

  1. Fill in the IP address or hostname for the chassis in the Chassis Address field.
  2. Optionally change the Chassis Port Number value if you connect to the chassis through a NAT router that changes the port number. The default port value is 22606. If you have changed the port value and want to revert to the default value you can press the Reset to Default button.
  3. Enter the assigned password for the chassis in the Chassis Password field.
  4. Press the OK button.

The next time you open the Add Chassis window it will remember the last values you entered. If you have changed the port number and need to revert to the default Xena port number just press the Reset to Default button.

Editing the Chassis Address

If you need to modify the address or password details for a chassis you can select the chassis in the resource treeview and press the Edit Chassis button in the ribbon menu. You will then see a window similar to the Add Chassis window where you can change one or more of the values.

Note that the Edit Chassis button will only be enabled if you are not currently connected to the chassis (we assume that if you are connected to the chassis you have no need for changing the defined address)

This action is also available in the right-click context menu for the chassis item in the treeview.
