in the IP Address box. The chassis ID should be set to a unique number with respect to other chassis
that you might connect together at your facility.
Once the contact between IxExplorer and the chassis is established, the indicator next to the chassis
in the pane goes from red to yellow to green. IxExplorer uses the Microsoft Windows Explorer paradigm
for a standard, easy-to-use interface. Users who are familiar with Windows are likely to be able to
configure and run a basic transmit-and-capture Ethernet packet stream test within two or three minutes
of first power up. IxExplorer configures and controls traffic generation, monitors statistics, views, and
decodes captured packets. The scalable interface can be used across multiple chassis concurrently for
seamless operation of large configurations.
