Unix/Linux Operation
IxExplorer is a Windows-only application. You can access the IxOS Tcl APIs from a Unix or Linux
environment using IxTclServer and a Tcl client computer. For specific information on how to use
IxTclServer and the Tcl client computer, see the IxOS Tcl Development Guide.
Note: PIT Notes: The Platform Independent tgz packages do not contain Perl, Python or Tcl
interpreters. The Ixia dependencies (mpexpr, snit, tclx) are also not included. Download the all-
in-one language packages and dependencies installer for Linux x86 and x64 to use with any app
PIT installer from the Ixia website.
Automatic Update Feature
Preparing to Install
Follow the steps to prepare to use the Automatic Update functionality:
1. Locate the install package named Ixos<version.version>.exe (for example, IxOS5.10SP1exe).
Extract this to the network location. This install package can be downloaded from the Ixia
Website and it is included on the product CD.
2.
Extract the installer files from the install package by using the following command:
Ixos<version.version>.exe -s -e -f <extraction path>
3.
Install the chassis from the same network path. Use the setup.exe in the same folder to install
the chassis.
Using Automatic Update
The versions of IxExplorer client computer and IxServer must be synchronized, otherwise they cannot
operate together. It is possible to automatically update the version of the client computer to the server
computer using the Automatic Update feature.
Note: The chassis Icon in IxExplorer is a purple color when its IxServer is using a different
version of the software than the IxExplorer client computer.
When trying to connect to a server computer with a different version than IxExplorer, the dialog box
shown in Figure: Auto-Update Warning appears.
