Connecting GigaVUE‑HC1 Ports

Connecting network and tool ports on GigaVUE‑HC1 base chassis ports and modules is generally as simple as connecting a cable between the source/destination device and the GigaVUE‑HC1 port. You just need to make sure that the modules and ports on the GigaVUE‑HC1 node are enabled and their parameters are configured correctly. Refer to the following sections for details:

■

Enabling Modules and Ports – Make sure that the modules and ports you want to use are enabled. Newly installed modules must be configured with the card command and their ports enabled with port <port-list> params admin enable.

■

Setting Port Parameters Manually- If both ends of the connection are using autonegotiation, no manual configuration is typically necessary. However, if autonegotiation is not used (or is not successful), you can use these instructions to configure port parameters manually.
