Multichassis VXI-MXI 2 configuration

Hello,

Has anyone set up multichassis (3 chassis) VXI in daisy chain configuration?

I have set VXI-MXI 2 cards on Chassis I and II to automatic termination and to receive the Clock 10 out MXIbux. Chassis I card is set to drive the clock 10 and uses its onboard clock. Each VXI-MXI2 has its unique address.

When Chassis II is introduced in the loop the instruments on chassis I starts failing. Is there any particular card setting required for three chassis configuration? When any two chassis are connected – one driving the clock and the other receiving the clock it all works.

 

Thanks,
Rachana

Hello Rachana,
I have tried reaching you via phone but I will give you the link to some the documents you will need.

Document on Multi-chassis VXI configurations

Also I want to like you know there are two ways to set up the chassis logical address
1. Automatically using software please see link.
2. Manually using the switches please see link.

Please let me know how this goes. Lets start with a 2 chassis system and move up to a 3 chassis configuration.
