Windows 7 Security Settings
The user name for the administration level account is ixia, with a password consisting of second half of
the chassis serial number. For example, if the chassis’ serial number is 400-1234567, the account
name is ixia and the password is 1234567.
The administrator is responsible for system maintenance and may perform any operation on the
system. The ixia user is automatically logged on when the chassis is powered on.
File-Sharing
To protect Ixia chassis from virus attacks, Ixia has secured the chassis from unsafe remote access.
This was started with chassis shipped or repaired on and later than August 1, 2004. By default,
Microsoft NetBIOS file sharing mechanisms are disabledon Ixia chassis. The chassis is not able to
browse through the network, join a domain, or have open file shares. To allow a means of file transfer
to and from a chassis, an FTP server computer has been included and enabled on the chassis.
A remote user, logged into another computer, may look at or deposit files on a chassis by using FTP.
When accessing a chassis’ FTP server computer, the C: drive is set to read-only and the D: drive is set
to read/write. The intent is that software updates be deposited on the D: drive, and then locally
installed from the chassis’ console. To view the contents of the chassis C: drive, type ftp://TTT-
nnnnnn/ into your browser, as shown in Figure: FTP Access to a Chassis’ C: Drive.
To access a chassis’ D: drive, just append a d: to the URL, as shown in Figure: FTP Access to a
Chassis D: Drive.
Software may be copied to the folder shown on the browser’s screen by drag-and-drop operations.
