To run test scripts simultaneously, you can set up your TSP-Link network in one of the following
configurations:
• Multiple TSP-Link networks
• A single TSP-Link network with groups
Using groups to manage nodes on a TSP-Link system
TSP-Link groups allow each group to run a different test script simultaneously. This method requires
one TSP-Link network and a single remote connection to the computer that is connected to the
master node.
A group can consist of one or more nodes. You must assign group numbers to each node using
remote commands. If you do not assign a node to a group, it defaults to group 0, which will always be
grouped with the master node (regardless of the group to which the master node is assigned).
The following table shows an example of the functions of groups on a single TSP-Link network. Each
group in this example runs a different test script than the other groups, which allows the system to run
multiple tests simultaneously.
TSP-Link network group functions
Group
number
Group members Present function
Initiates and runs a test script on node 2
Initiates and runs a test script on node 6
In addition, the master node can execute scripts and process run
Runs the test script initiated by the master node
Initiates remote operations on node 3 through node 5
Performs remote operations initiated by node 2
Runs the test script initiated by the master node
Initiates remote operations on node 7 through node n
n
Performs remote operations initiated by node 6
